Ty Bloomfield

T. Gregory Bloomfield (b. 2000) is a multimedia composer and educator currently based in Philadelphia, PA whose work engages audiences in immersive experiences. Recognized for his “unpredictable” (Third Coast Review) sound, he creates intimate, yet dramatic soundscapes while exploring themes of memory, contemporary art, and social dynamics. Through distorted time and meter, obscured melodies, and delicate and hazy harmonies, he creates a variety of electric, meditative environments for the mind to become lost within. He is the recipient of the Harvard University Fromm Foundation Fellowship, an American Composers Orchestra Earshot New Music Reading, two ASCAP Morton Gould Award finalist placements, the Karen Slack Prize, the Come As You Are Fellowship, the One Found Sound Emerging Composer Award, and a JACK Quartet Studio Workshop Fellow. His recent collaborators include the JACK Quartet, Hypercube Ensemble, Unheard-Of//Ensemble, and the Rhythm Method, among many others. His music has been presented internationally at festivals and venues, including DiMenna Center for Classical Music, the U.S. Navy Band Saxophone Symposium, Avaloch Farm Music Institute, and the Dublin International Chamber Music Festival. He is an alumnus of Illinois State University and the University of Michigan and serves on faculty at Eastern Michigan University.
