Baltimore’s critically acclaimed High Zero is perhaps the most unusual festival of new music in the country, mixing no-holds barred experimentation on a large scale with all new, spontaneous collaborations between some of the most interesting musicians on the planet. Since 1999, the festival has inspired radical methods and brought utopian intentions to hundreds of varied performances, on stage and on the street. This 10th anniversary DVD and CD gives a small taste of what audiences have experienced in the last ten years at the festival that Signal to Noise Magazine called “A fertile laboratory of musical possibility without equal.”
