F'loom Press Release

"Serious musicianship within wildly original forms and inventions: utterly delightful."

F'loom is a vocal troupe that presents cutting-edge programs of avant cappella "language music" — pieces that inhabit the fertile, mysterious realm that lies between pure language and pure music. F'loom performs original all-vocal compositions seething with satire, social commentary, pop diatribe, slap, zap, melody, poetry, and comedy.

F'loom's eclectic repertoire runs the gamut from classical to avant-garde, celtic to jazz, medieval chant to post-post rap. Whether they are f'looming on the World Wide Web, cable TV, Julia Roberts, The Beatles, or Finnegans Wake, F'loom's wizardry, irreverent humor and astonishing vocal virtuosity shine through!

F'loom's language music is acclaimed by audiences all across North America. F'loom has appeared at numerous prominent venues, including the Kravis Center in West Palm Beach, Florida; the Knitting Factory; The Bottom Line; the Juilliard School of Music; Broadway's John Houseman Theatre; the New Orleans Contemporary Arts Center; Brown University; Dartmouth College; University of Rochester; the Utah Arts Festival in Salt Lake City; the Ottawa Folk Festival; and the Intermedia Arts Center in Minneapolis. F'loom has appeared twice as guest artists on NPR's "Weekend Edition," been featured several times on CBC Canada, and WGBH's acclaimed "Sound and Spirit."

F'loom has also appeared with prominent artists, including Eric Bogosian, Lily Tomlin, Christine Lavin, The Bobs, Margaret Atwood, Paul Metcalf, Moxy Fruvous, David Francey, Laura Smith, and Jesse Winchester.
