PASTOR EDDIE EDWARDS is a multi-instrumentalist / composer / playwright / producer and sound engineer who has served as a musical bridge between conventional jazz, punk rock, free jazz, gospel, progressive art music and alternative sound. Edwards attended the prestigious California College of Arts in the San Francisco Bay Area as an up-and-coming sculptor, later discovering his life-long passion and pursuit as a cutting-edge sound sculptor and musicologist. In the recording studio, he has successfully navigated full-circle, from artist, to master engineer, to producer with a remarkable prophetic ability to hear the distant waves of the next new sound, identify emerging artists, and powerfully present undiscovered talent. He has served as an assistant and master engineer on many projects and recording venues, such as Fantasy Records, the Japan America Theatre, FM Records, and Pulpit Recording Studios. A virtuoso performer in his own right, Edwards has dazzled audiences and critics with his vanguard sound, instrumental versatility, extensive music knowledge, and his ability to masterfully play over 40 instruments. Twenty-five years ago Eddie, (famed percussionist) Zam, and the alternative band Panic, thrashed out and pioneered an experimental underground sound, a free-style form of outside jazz/punk/rock that set the foundation for what is now referred to as drum-N-bass by todays teen and young adult cultures.
