Accessed online 6 October 2007.〕 1951 in Istein, Germany, now part of Efringen-Kirchen) is a Seattle, Washington-based kinetic sculptor, sound artist, and musician. Trimpin's work integrates sculpture and sound across a variety of media including fixed installation and live music, theater, and dance performance. His works are known to be electromechanically actuated by embedded microcontrollers that communicate MIDI. 〔(Trimpin: An Interview ).

He played brass instruments himself, but developed an allergy to metal that affected his lips and made him give up playing.〔Program for 2007 Anne Gould Hauberg Artist Images award, October 5, 2007.〕〔Ajay Kapur, "A History of Robotic Musical Instruments".

The wire was stretched across a room and tilted up and down while the figurine rode the wire and played it, backwards and forwards. The history of his work recapitulates much of the history of data and sound storage technology.〔(Trimpin: Computers and Music ), Audio Engineering Society - Pacific Northwest Section, Meeting report of meeting held February 12, 2002. Accessed online 6 October 2007.〕 Prior to the availability of MIDI, Trimpin developed his own protocol for computer storage of music.〔Kapur, p. 2.〕 In 1980 Trimpin moved to America because he needed access to old, used technological components, which were difficult to find in Europe;〔〔 he settled in Seattle because it "sounded like a nice place to live".〔 In the 1980s, he worked one month per year fishing in Alaska to support his work.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Trimpin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
