Live Stage: Trimpin [
Somerville, MA]
Independent Film Festival of Boston presents TRIMPIN: The Sound of Invention :: April 23, 2009; 10:15 pm and April 26, 2009; 8:00 pm. :: Somerville Theatre, 55 Davis Square, Somerville, MA.
Trimpin is an artist, inventor, composer, and MacArthur “Genius” grant recipient who designs, builds, programs, and composes for outrageous automatic ensembles of musical instruments. Working out of a studio that resembles both Frankenstein’s lab and Santa’s workshop, Trimpin has devised unique ways of playing everything from whistles, generators, and giant marimbas to stacks of electric guitars via home-grown computer programs. Trimpin himself, along with producer/director Peter Esmonde, will be on hand for discussions with audience members after each screening.
