About Me

The Arboretum The Arboretum is a music project formed by Chris Trim with contributions from friends and local musicians as a vehicle for my song writing and music production ideas. It started life in 2002 and has grown and developed since then. I have tried to combine a texture of sounds, drawing on my diverse influences from Dance, Jazz, Reggae and other sonic substances using both samples and real instruments.Principle contributors include: Charley Farley - Amazing vocals and shared ideas. Chris Barber – Saxes. Keith Trim - Bass and inspiration.This is now part of a collection grouped under the 'Fading In Another Light' banner. I have now begun working on the second instalment using new collaborators and conspirators.The Arboretum
