For the High Mayhem 8th Annual
Emerging Music and Arts Festival


September 19-20-21, 2008

We are NOW accepting submissions!

Unlike any other music festival, High Mayhem will bring you local and national experimental and emerging artists to perform September 19, 20, 21st at the 8th Annual High Mayhem Emerging Music and Arts Festival in Santa Fe, NM.

Produced by non-profit organization, High Mayhem, the festival will feature live improvisations that combine sound, vision, and movement. Every act will be recorded, photographed, and videotaped for archiving and distribution.

ABOUT HIGH MAYHEM:
Founded in 2001, High Mayhem Emerging Arts is a not-for-profit emerging arts facility, record label and multimedia production collective based in Santa Fe, New Mexico. We challenge the homogenizing effect of pop-culture groupthink (how'd it get so meditated so fast?) by providing opportunities for and fostering collaborations with underrepresented "experimental" artists.

We provide a venue and voice for creative tinkerers who challenge our notions of aesthetics in music and art, especially those who employ cross-media synthesis, improvisational techniques who introduce new ways of hearing, looking and presenting the unorthodox...the often indescribable.

High Mayhem curates performances and organizes workshops year-round with musicians and performance artists who come from near and far. We seek out others to join us in producing innovative and thought-provoking experiences for our communities. Further, we encourage and organize collaborative experiments across disciplines; new forms emerge from mutated traditions and pure invention. MORE

That reads really earnest. Earnestly? Is that too earnest? Any writers out there? Help me out.
