[1] Bryant states: "I strive to write music that leaps off the stage (or reaches out of the speakers) to grab you by the collar and pull you in.
Whether through a relentless eruption of energy, or the intensity of quiet contemplation, I want my music to give you no choice, and no other desire, but to listen.
Other notable commissions have come from the Amherst Saxophone Quartet (funded by the American Composers Jerome Composers Commissioning Program), the Indiana University Wind Ensemble, the US Air Force Band of Mid-America, the Calgary Stampede Band, and the University of Nevada Las Vegas Wind Orchestra.
Bryant has also rearranged the Iggy Pop and the Stooges song "Real Cool Time" for the independent Italian record label Snowdonia, as well as music for portions of the Virtual Space Tour at space.com.
Bryant is a founding member of the composer-consortium BCM International[6] (along with Eric Whitacre, Jonathan Newman, and Jim Bonney: four stylistically-diverse composers from across the country).
