trimpin--the_sound_of_invention

TRIMPIN: THE SOUND OF INVENTION is an amusing journey through the musical world of an eccentric creative genius.

Artist/inventor/engineer/composer Trimpin has never been represented by a gallery, a dealer, or a manager, and doesn’t have a cellphone or a website Ð yet his freewheeling sculptures and outrageous musical experiments are cherished by artists, musicians, and museums all over the planet.

Filmed over the course of two years, this feature doc shows the iconoclastic artist: building a 60-foot tower of self-tuning, automatic electric guitars; experimenting with the Kronos Quartet on a variety of toy and electronic instruments; designing a perpetual motion sculpture in a glass foundry; creating a giant marimba ensemble that converts real-time earthquake data into music; and always in the midst of inventing wild sonic and kinetic gizmos.
