Finally, a use for the yogurt maker

What key does an eggbeater play in?

Inventor, composer and "sound sculptor" Trimpin, who is in residence at Stanford Lively Arts this spring, is hosting his own particular kind of parties later this month at the San Jose Museum of Art.

On Feb. 26, Trimpin will hold two workshops in which folks can craft musical sculpture and play a symphony -- all on found objects. In fact, attendees are urged to bring their own kitchen thingamajigs from home.

The 1:30 p.m. workshop is already sold out, but you just may make it into the 11 a.m. one. Ticket info is on the museum site

Meanwhile, Trimpin is also planning to premiere a
new work at Stanford Lively Arts on May 14, directed by Rinde Eckert.
