Meridian Music: Composers in Performance presents a performance by the Bloom Project, featuring Rent Romus on alto, soprano, c-melody saxophones and electronics, Thollem Mcdonas on pump organ, and Steven Baker on challis drone and other original sonic inventions. This will be the West Coast CD release performance for Prismatic Season, recorded in 2006 at the Krannert Art Museum at the University of Illinois.

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