AboutClayton Trumbull

Clayton Trumbull (b.2002) is a queer, American composer, instrumentalist, and poet based in State College, PA. His music is cathartic, incorporating his original poetry, indeterminacy, electroacoustics, and improvisation, illuminating the interpersonal connection that art fosters. Exploring nature, heartbreak, self-discipline, materialism, queerness, and other intimate and personal themes through music and text with genuine expression is ever present in his bittersweet, nostalgic sound. He is pursuing a M.M. in Composition at the Pennsylvania State University with Baljinder Sekhon, Sarah Genevieve Burghart Rice, and Paul Coleman after receiving his B.M. in Music Composition from the Eastman School of Music in May 2024.
