With a background in punk/death metal, the instrumental and compositional studies of contemporary classical music, and the experience in playing blues, standards and free-jazz, Trevor is now leading his own Trio-Convulsant with guitarist Adam Levy and drummer Kenny Wollesen in the exploration of original compositions, the likes of which neither the jazz world nor the rock world have ever seen. Trevor has also worked with the Kronos Quartet, the ROVA Saxophone Quartet, Tom Waits, Wayne Horvitz, William Winant, Beth Custer, Terry Riley, James Tenny, Ellery Eskalin, Gerry Hemmingway, Wadada Leo Smith, Joe Gore, Naut Humon, Henry Kaiser, John Tchicai, Mark Izu, Eyvind Kang, Donald Bailey, and Hal Stein. Trevor is currently working on a new Hardcore project FANTOMAS with Mike Patton, Dave Lombardo (Slayer) and Buzz Osbourne (Melvins).
