Trimpin is a German-born composer and sound artist who has lived and worked in Seattle since 1979. His sound sculptures, installations and set designs have been commissioned by artists as diverse as Merce Cunningham, Samuel Beckett, and the Kronos Quartet. These works have been exhibited locally, nationally and internationally at spaces including the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco, Circulo De Bellas Artes in Madrid, and the LOGOS Foundation in Ghent. Trimpin’s awards include the MacArthur Foundation’s ”Genius Award” and a Guggenheim Fellowship, as well as residencies at numerous art centers, universities and colonies.
