The 7th High Zero Festival was once again an amazing, groundbreaking event that ran roughshod over preconceived boundaries and gave birth to a huge amount of high focused & radical creative activity. This site, with it's hour of unreleased mp3's of selected performances and hundreds of photos is just the tip of the iceburg, hopefully preserving some of the flavor of those heady and ineffably charged days for posterity. High Zero is also documented by two CD releases each year on the RECORDED label. Click here to see the web site that promoted the festival with more descriptions of the performers.

Links below lead to descriptions of sets, extensive photo documentation, and occasional mp3 audio files.
