An evening of invented instruments, improvised sound, and the harsher sides of experimentation!Edgetone Records 35th Anniversary Showcase
Tuesday, December 8 · The Knockout, San Francisco
Doors 7pm · Music 8pm · $10
Edgetone Records celebrates 35 years of uncompromising new music with a night of improvisation, invented instruments, and sound art from four Bay Area acts.
8:00 – Nihil Communication: Nunnsuch
A nod to the late Bay Area instrument builder and improviser Tom Nunn. In Nunnsuch, Nihil Communication reinterprets the T-Rodimba, one of Nunn's handmade invented instruments, honoring the curiosity and playfulness at the heart of his work. Listen: https://edgetonerecords.bandcamp.com/album/we-are-violent
8:45 – YaM
A two-piece band from San Francisco who support organic farming and safe good times, and who let the music get weird. No two YaM shows are the same, so come out for some improvisational vegetables. Listen: https://yamitup.bandcamp.com/
9:30 – Tri-Cornered Tent Show
Urban, electro-acoustic folk improv from Richmond, California, named after early-20th-century tent shows where several stages competed for attention at once. They mix free improvisation, sound sculpture, psychedelic blues, free jazz, and noise. Listen: https://tri-corneredtentshow.bandcamp.com/album/weird-excursions
10:15 – Rent Romus' Lords of Outland
Edgetone founder Rent Romus started this collective in 1994 to explore improvisation, noise, and sound art rooted in jazz, rock, and blues. Tom Nunn himself once played in the group, which makes them a fitting way to close the night. Listen: https://rentromus.bandcamp.com/album/ghost-moon
Come celebrate 35 years of Edgetone and the spirit of invention that Tom Nunn brought to Bay Area music.
