CitySkies Day 2
I'm currently compiling the pictures, audio and video to post. Day 2's evening set was mammoth. Shane Morris an Kevin Haller cranked out a great set of progressive ambient, followed by Mark Mahoney and myself debuting new material that went over well. My apologies for screaming at the guy in the kitchen that dropped the Chinese Gong (it was probably a pan or a skillet), you're timing was off. Fix that and you're money. Tay0 ended the night with a very impressive IDM/Glitch set that I could have listened to until sun up.
Thanks again to Jim Combs for a great weekend of music and hospitality. More to come....

CitySkies Day 2
Early start to catch the free Continental. Apparently bagels and bananas are all a person needs. I'll take it. Got a good story to tell from last night. Not now though. It's not ready.
To tune into this evening's set visit Stillstream and pick a player from the top. iPhone/Touch/Pad users can download the Stillstream Radio app from the Apple app store. And for fuck's sake listen to it with headphones.

CitySkies Day 1
Arrived around 4:30, check in, unload gear, unwind. The venue is only minutes away, nestled in the Oakhurst area of Decatur. An oasis if you will of hipsters and shitsters. Designer couples with their designer dogs, $800 strollers and GAP ad children. But on the other hand, you've got people just like you and me. The kind of people Republicans really wish didn't exist.
First up- Drachemusik, aka Charles Shriner. A one man cyber jazz ensemble from Indy. This was a new set, more akin to his after-hours sets with some modal improvasations over the top of the glitch beat backdrop. Broken Symmetry followed and froze time for about 45 minutes with a deep, deep, ambient set. Having never heard these guys, I'm glad I didn't miss them. Up next was some of the finest tribal ambient I've seen or heard live to date thanks to Tony Gerber and Paul Vnuk Jr. Damn. Finishing the night was an impromptu collaboration from Burning Artist(s) Sale featuring Kevin Haller, Shane Morris, and Klimchack, which started as a a floating, spacey movement, inevitebly set course for an electro-acoustic, polyrhythmic orgy finale.
Back at the hotel, Mark and I set up shop and listened to playback of our recent rehearsals.Rather, I did. I don't think Mark made it past the 7 minute mark.
