I think Trimpin is pretty darn cool, and I think Kronos are pretty darn cool, so this is pretty darn cool squared.
I did an informational interview with Trimpin about doing an internship in his shop - it was very intriguing, but I couldn't work out the lagistics. I passed the idea along to other iSchoolers, but as in all other things, they lacked the vision to see what an opportunity it would be for one of them.

| Trimpin & Kronos - 4 Cast World Premiere! We'd like to let you know that Peak Performances @ Montclair will be presenting the world premiere of Trimpin & Kronos Quartet's 4 Cast: Unpredictable at Alexander Kasser Theater this Saturday, May 5th at 7:30 PM. This unique and visually stunning piece — which was commissioned by Peak Performances — is unlike anything Kronos has ever done before, and it features the debut of the Jackbox sculpture and several other instruments designed by Trimpin. Seattle-based Trimpin is a MacArthur "Genius" Award-winning sculptor, musician, and composer, most of whose pieces integrate both sculpture and music in some way, and many of which make use of computers to play these instruments. 4 Cast: Unpredictable is a 45-minute work consisting of four sections — Toys, Numbers, Bodies, and Machines. Says Trimpin, "From a young age I developed a fascination for tinkering with toys, found objects, and for listening to the mesmerizing sounds of Morse code broadcast on short-wave radio. The challenge of experimenting with the limitations of what the human body can accomplish is reflected in tonight's performance. Technology is used as a tool by interacting with these musical machines." Tickets are $35, and they can be purchased online at www.peakperfs.
