Bloom Project
Thollem McDonas - piano
Rent Romus - saxophones

Bloom Project is a spirited and colossal collaboration between international touring pianist Thollem McDonas, multi-saxophonist producer Rent Romus. Bloom Project features free improvisations as well as interpretations of numerous textual and graphical scores. The music is an organic construction and expression of combining disparate and divergent stylistic histories with a sense of refreshing immediacy, intensity, and spontaneous inventiveness. Guest recording and performing musicians have include instrument builder Steven Baker, drummer and found-object player Jon Brumit, trumpet and electronics artists Liz Albee, and percussionist Tatsuya Nakatani.
