British Composer and multi-instrumentalist Edward Cross is back with a new piece “Bloom”  whic lh originally began as a spontaneous piano recording over a looping synth. 

Keeping most of the original take, the South London native layered additional instruments using only what was on hand – clarinet, trombone, and piano – creating a sound uniquely personal. 

With a background in jazz clarinet, subtle jazz influences weave through the composition. 

The title “Bloom” reflects the piece’s gradual build, evoking the freshness of spring, new beginnings, and emerging from darkness into light.
