Trinity Ridout by Brendan Bannon

During the fellowship, I explored songwriting in unconventional way. I used the cut-up method of David Bowie, which  yielded interesting results for my own work. I wrote about 12 songs in total. The overarching theme of my project was inspired by the relationship between myself and nature, which helped me explore a lot of interpretations of that relationship. Some pieces express the natural instinct to love, and some reflecting the beauty of chaos in the natural world.

The performance below features many of the songs that Trinity wrote during her fellowship.

Trinity Ridout is a young writer and musician. She attends City Honors High School, the Just Buffalo Writing Center, and Community Music School. Her work is inspired by her strong feelings toward environmental activism, and focuses on the relationship between humanity and nature. Check out her soundcloud.
