It manifests in the form of different projects by women and trans* people in music for not only for women and trans*. The collective evolves around the topics of re/search, un/learning, respect, equality and studying various systems of control not only in the field of music technology.

One of the first projects was a learning circle for women in electronic music, series of events and publishing of a magazine. Trigger organises regular meetings to connect women and trans* people on the music scene and as a source of empowerment and attempt to create safer space.
