TriPod uses non-traditional instruments in the melodic line (bass, brass, theremin, and woodwinds).

It is composed of three New York musicians: Clint Bahr (12-string bass guitar, Chapman Stick, Taurus pedals, Theremin, vocals), Keith Gurland (alto and tenor sax, flute, clarinet, panpipes, pedals, vocals) and Steve Romano (acoustic and electric drums and percussion).

Following in the tradition of King Crimson and Emerson, Lake & Palmer, TriPod creates symphonic rock music.
