The HIGH ZERO festival is an amazing event, mixing large crowds with fiercely challenging and engaging music. The festival would be unusual anywhere in the world, with its combination of visionary and uncompromising grassroots experimental music. Its unusual format is such that only individuals are invited to perform in new collaborations, mixing diverse musical subcultures (what might be called electronic music, free jazz, minimalism, instrument inventors, etc.). Each year, the most inspired musicians we know from Baltimore and around the world are brought together in a wide range of musical situations to create music which has never been heard before.

High Zero is a deeply collective endeavor, involving a very large number of musicians and organizers. When High Zero began in 1999, the idea of hosting an international, large-scale experimental music festival in Baltimore seemed like a pure act of will against all odds, not to mention a huge financial risk.
After five amazingly successful years '99-'03, frequently sold-out audiences, hundreds of sets of inspiring music and anarchic street performances, eight CDs, tons of new friendships and developing collaborations around the globe, and a closet now overflowing with high-resolution documentation--it still seems almost too good to be true!!
Our first six years have been a tremendous gift, and we are truly grateful to the immense amount of support from musicians, audience, donations, and volunteers which has made the festival a true community event in every sense of the word.
