Over a period of the seven years Romus composed music inspired by Frank Herbert's epic vision, Phil K. Dick's rantings and H.P. Lovecraft's darkest fears. The result is "Edge of Dark" recorded live in San Francisco in the fall of 2010 with his ensemble The Lords of Outland and internationally noted multi-instrumentalist Vinny Golia. As a performer, Golia has presented his music to concert audiences in Europe, Canada, Japan and the United States in ensembles varying dramatically in size and instrumentation. Putting down the paint brushes of a visual artist in 1971, Golia devoted himself full-time to music and has since evolved into one of the world's most celebrated creative jazz artists. At the forefront of improvised music, he plays twenty different woodwinds, plus various ethnic aerophones.
