Marshall Trammell is an experimental archivist, percussionist, conductor, and composer based in Oakland and Albuquerque, United States. His aesthetics and activism are centred in social change interventions to generate new local and global ecologies that embrace improvisation as a collective, movement-building tool in the creation of post-capitalist imaginaries. Trammell’s ongoing project Music Research Strategies uses aesthetic theory, data creation, mapping, and collective music- and art-making to step out of the domain of traditional cultural institutions, relocating the act of co-production back in the community.
