Trimpin loves natural and acoustic sound. He moved to America decades ago partly to have greater access to discarded technological and mechanical materials to create his inventive installations, which combine music composition with visually imaginative kinetics (and some wizardry). Listen as Trimpin talks about a selection of his world-renowned sound sculptures, navigating the art community as a sound artist, and the beauty of natural sound.

Listen to Chicago improviser Matt Young about performing improv in podcasts like "Hello from the Magic Tavern," from an interview by Sound Arts and Industries student Jeffrey Nils Gardner.
