The Edgetone Music Summit is an artist organized event founded in 2001 with fiscal sponsorship from 21 Grand a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization in Oakland.
The Summit exclusively features independent artists most of whom are practitioners in music and sound of improvised and or experimental nature. In association with the Summit there are two year-round music series’, The Luggage Store Gallery New Music Series and the S.I.M.M. Series at the Musicians Union Hall. Both series serve as local stages for residential artists as well as for touring artists from all parts of the globe.
The Edgetone Music Summit began as a festival event to support the D.I.Y. artists of Edgetone Records, an artist operated recoding label for improvised and experimental music. Edgetone Records was founded by saxophonist and concert producer Rent Romus. Edgetone began as a place for artists who needed a home for their recordings while finding support and growth within a community.
In our fourth year, the 2005 Edgetone Summit was held at The Luggage Store Gallery, 21 Grand Gallery, and The Oakland Metro Theater, three Bay Area venues known for supporting independent experimental music throughout the year. The next Summit will be held July 27-30, 2006.
The Edgetone Music Summit reflects the Bay Area multicultural diversity of discovery and new ideas associated with the region. Historically dating back to the inception of the Barbary Coast of San Francisco in the early 20th century, the S. F. Bay Area is one of the multicultural, politically and socially aggressive, artistically experimental centers of California.
The festival also pays homage to local as well as California’s central role in the development of invention and cutting edge ideas. The San Francisco Bay Area has been and still is the location where many of the founders of new ideas in sound live and have lived including Ives, Pauline Oliveros, Glenn Spearman, Lisle Ellis, and Terry Riley to name a few. Today The SF Bay Area, in the heart of California, is home to one of the most bustling and expanding new music scenes fostering the next generation of music pioneers.
