Brian Kassan “Creating some of the trippiest, most progressive vibes ever as Bloomfield Machine — a one man instrumental tour de force fusing modern electronic beats with fresh melodic and richly cinematic soundscapes sculpted with handcrafted textures and tones.”

An amazing and brilliant trip through the cosmos, with definitive style, unique musical composition, and an arsenal of vision. He has come to reveal a whole new world, if not galaxy of inspiration in sound. A singular, important and magnificent find for independent music.
