Artist History e:trinity evolved out of Elson Trinidad's personal appreciation of kulintang, the indigenous music of the southern Philippines, a part of the world in which he holds his heritage. He discovered elements of kulintang music, as well as many other forms of indigenous or traditional Asiatic sounds, could apply to modern electronic music. He strongly believes that the music of the future will draw strongly on the as yet relatively undiscovered forms of cultural music.

Group Members Elson Trinidad: keyboards, sampling, programming.
