TRILLIUM is a perennial herb with three bracts and three petals which grows from a rhizome. The band Trillium is a collaborative musical project featuring Kyle Quass, Norbert Herber and Julian Douglas. The trio, like the perennial, grows from the rhizome:  non-hierarchical with no beginning or end; always in the middle, between things, interbeing, intermezzo. Each piece is a character study in which ideas transform and develop, new ideas emerge and recede, form dissolves and re-emerges, a multiplicity in which each idea can and must be connected to any other.
