Bassist Trevor Dunn is already known for his intense musical diversity: 1) as co-founder/composer of the avant-rock band Mr. Bungle (currently working on their 3rd disk for Warner Bros.) and 2) as the ubiquitous sideman of countless groups in the jazz circuit of the San Francisco Bay Area; groups like Graham Connah's Sour Note Seven (Andrew Hill/Mingus inspired septet), Ben Goldberg's various Trios and Sextets, Junk Genius (anarchist bebop found on the Knitting Factory label) and John Schott's Diaglossia Ensemble. 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).
