(Art) Song Lab

Where Poets Composers & Poets Come Together

Clayton Trumbull

Clayton Trumbull (b.2002) is a queer, American composer and instrumentalist from Saratoga Springs, NY. His music is cathartic, incorporating his original poetry, indeterminacy 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 poetry with genuine expression is ever present in his bittersweet, nostalgic sound. He is pursuing a M.M. in Composition at 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.

(Art) Song Lab was created and takes place on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations.
