Recognized for his “unpredictable” (Third Coast Review) sound, multimedia composer, educator, and administrator T. Gregory Bloomfield (b. 2000, Chicago) engages audiences in immersive experiences with intimate, yet dramatic soundscapes while exploring themes of memory, contemporary art, and social dynamics.
