Start Time | Photo | Bio | 8pm: Sensitive Chaos | 
| Jim Combs is a solo ambient musician who works with audio and MIDI looping devices under the name of Sensitive Chaos, and was voted "Best Local Electronic Act" in 2005 and 2007 by readers of Atlanta's Creative Loafing. The first Sensitive Chaos CD entitled Leak was deemed one of the twelve best CDs of 2006 by Bill Binkelman of the New Age Reporter and has received airplay since it was released in late 2006 from industry heavyweights including Public Radio International's Echoes (145 stations across the U.S.), Soma FM's Space Station Soma and Cliqhop idm, WWSP, WXDU, WUSM, WTUL, KRFC, WETX, WVKR WDIY, and KTUH. "Leak is one of those maddeningly difficult to categorize/describe CDs that drive me nuts. I want to scream out loud how good it is, but after writing those words the details are tough to articulate! The reason that the music presents difficulties in describing it is, of course, indicative of how much talent the man behind Sensitive Chaos (Jim Combs) brings to this venture. Wielding a vast array of electronic keyboards and synths, he weaves heady and adventurous (yet from my perspective wholly accessible) ambient/electronica that crosses over into jazz fusion at times and also has some pronounced elements of retro EM as well. The music can be warm and friendly, even whimsical, or shadowy and shrouded in textural mystery. Leak is a thoroughly enjoyable album. Combs consistently impresses with how he blends his melodic and rhythmic synths, always maintaining a coherent vision and never allowing the improvisatory nature of his music to overwhelm its sense of purpose. I highly recommend Leak for its inventiveness, its beat-happy effervescence, and its thorough lack of pretension, not to mention it’s just a flat out fun album from start to finish." - Bill Binkelman, New Age Reporter http://www.sensitivechaos.com http://www.myspace.com/jimcombs | 9pm: Michael Thomas Roe |

| Másik Origin: Hungarian Definition: 'Other' Sound: A grating apart of many musical & artistic styles, sewn back together to form a bastard child of culture. Jazz, Hip-Hop, Glitch, Dada, Dance, Noise, Anarchy, Free Form, Psychedelics, Technology & Distant Planets are just some of the influences floating through the minds of Másik. Our practices, performances & recordings are completely improvised, allowing a stream of musical consciousness to constantly flow. Tracks are then edited to various degrees until the desired sound is achieved. These methods allow for endless possibilities in remixing, extending & layering...over time we will control your subconscious. http://www.myspace.com/masik420 | 11pm: Earthgirl |
