From the April 2010 issue of Stomp and Stammer Magazine:

What's not to love about a concert series billed as a showcase for "real electronic music played by humans"? That's what's in store for attendees of the third annual City Skies Festival, April 29–May 1, at Kavarna, the cozy boho bar/coffee house/bistro located in beautiful downtown Oakhurst.

"City Skies was originally conceived as a community building event," said Jim Combs, a soft-spoken Atlanta musician and organizer-promoter of the event. "I wanted to bring together friends and musicians who have inspired me, so we could play, trade stories and find out what everybody is up to in terms of their equipment – you know, get our geek on."

Like its predecessors, the 2010 edition of City Skies will feature a gaggle of musicians from the metro area and beyond, playing an array of mad scientist gear ranging from a marimba lumina – a fly-by-wire percussion instrument built by synthesizer wizard Don Buchla – to an electronic clarinet, DIY laptop contraptions and even iPods, as well as the occasional guitar, flute and drum.

Sharing the Kavarna stage with homeys Allen Welty-Green, Randy Garcia, Killer Haven, Duet for Theremin and Lap Steel, and others will be no fewer than four performers from Tennessee (Michael Peck, Tony Gerber, Mark Mahoney and something called 84001), two Richards (Lainhart and Devine, both considered masters of their respective sub-genres) and an assortment of knob twirling, switch flicking, mouse-wranglers from Kansas, Indiana, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. One band, The Wiitles, uses Nintendo Wiimotes as instruments to play rock music.

"There will be plenty of experimental things happening, but also stuff that will be familiar," Combs said. "The main idea is to share the passion we have for this music."

Real electronic music performed live by humans!

Thursday, April 29, 2010
8pm- Harold Timms (Georgia) with Scott Burland

Harold Timms' musical journey has taken him from from 70's classic rock and fusion to native-American ambient improvisations to experimental and world music to classical composing to new-age, finger-style guitar. He graduated from Georgia Tech in 1980, taught guitar, bass, drums and keyboards for 16 years.

Releasing his first album in 1989, he found his musical voice in 1992 with Directions & Misdirections - Music for Acoustic Guitar & Treatments, an album of mostly Acoustic guitar instrumentals using radical alternate tunings/modes ala Michael Hedges, Anthony Phillips, Steve Hackett, and Steve Howe.

Since then, Harold has explored 1) trippy compositions involving guitar, keyboards, bass, and two drummers, 2) experimental loops using echoplex and found sounds, 3) bands with keyboards, guitars, electric mandolin and lap steel, and percussion, 4) improvisations with friend John WinterHawk, a native-American Elder on flute, 5) a dreamy journey of world-beat, sonic explorations, and 6) a double CD of live performances consisting of looped keyboards & guitar with percussion, theremin and sax.

Currently, he is composing and recording all original progressive rock material with a heavy concentration on odd time signatures and polyrhythms for his band "Counts of Odd".

9pm- The Wiitles (Georgia)

The Wiitles are a rock band which uses Nintendo Wiimotes as their instruments. The Wiimotes are used to control the software Max/MSP, a graphical development environment, for creating music. No "real" instruments are used during the Wiitles performances. Wii will rock you! Enjoy!

http://www.myspace.com/thewiitles

10pm- citizenGreen (Georgia)

citizenGreen's rhythmic compositions have been evolving for 5 years and running. Fusing many modern styles of electronic music, citizenGreen's pulsing mechanical beats, cyclic melodies, bubbling organic basslines and delicately crafted textures and patterns make for a unique listen, and a sonic fingerprint all his own. Chris Amell is the man behind citizenGreen.

6pm- Slate (Indiana)

Jonathan Mills aka Slate is a newcomer to City Skies whose idea of music changed when he heard Terry Riley's "A Rainbow in Curved Air." It was 20 years before he began to compose and perform minimalist music as a shamanic practitioner using Tibetan singing bowls, logs, rocks and Native American flute. In 2005 he bought a Roland Fantom-Xa and began a string of CDs that include ambient pieces in the Pompeii Trilogy, "21st Century Shaman," "Trainspotting," and "¿a la Frontera Sur?" among others. His most recent work, the four-disc Oncology Cycle, documents his encounter with cancer. He has played at Bloomington's Lotus Fest, the 2007 Lilly ArtsWeek Festival, and collaborates with Janiece Jaffe to create healing music. When not composing, Jonathan is a professor of computer science whose work with Rubel's extended analog computer is internationally recognized. He and his students are designing "Synthesizers in Speakers," woven analog supercomputer fabrics that reproduce music holographically.

Slate has recently begun to mix micrototonal and traditional scales in his pieces. Two intense weeks composing this music resulted in his most dark ambient CD so far, "MUSIKHAZARD". Independently, he has discovered some techniques used by the military in acoustic weaponry.

7pm- Klimchak (Georgia)

Klimchak loves opposites. That may explain why he's played with bands as diverse as disco diva RuPaul and avant hipster Bruce Hampton. "I think of music as a crazy-quilt of different styles and patterns. I'm the thread that holds the whole mess together," says the Atlanta-based composer and percussionist. "I love the clash of colors and opposing patterns. That's where the music comes alive."

On his new solo CD, The Beat and The Buzz, he works the difference between electronic and acoustic music styles. Electrobeat buzzes clash with soulful hand drumming. An urban funk groove explodes into a hoedown of jaw harp and handclaps. Tuvan throat singing provides a sound bed for a flowering samba ensemble featuring the pig-like grunting of the Brazilian Cuica. This could be the loops of sample-hungry turntable collagists and laptop-toting poindexters. But it's not. One of the important qualities of Klimchak's music is that he plays it all himself. "I don't have anything against buying and using samples and loops of other people's music. For what I'm doing it's easier and quicker just to record myself playing the instrument."
Of course that is easy for Klimchak to say, since he owns and plays literally hundreds of instruments. "I've been collecting sound-makers since the late 1970's. When I have some free time, I usually sit down and learn to play a new flute or percussion instrument." It could be an early electronic instrument like the sci-fi staple, the theremin or a low-tech rawhide frame drum from the Middle East. It's all grist for the sound-mill. "In the modern world of Ebay and the internet, locating exotic instruments for cheap and getting instructions on playing them is a lot easier than it used to be."

Klimchak has been working exclusively in this style since the mid-eighties. Between stints with RuPaul, Hampton, and his two bass-vocal-percussion band, Fab Area, he began working on solo works for modern dance and theater. He uses his knowledge of exotic instruments and the sounds they make to provide a live underscore theater productions. Many of his recent works have been at the Georgia Shakespeare Festival. He has written and performed scores for the plays: Othello, Henry IV, Hamlet, Tartuffe, A Midsummer Night's Dream and Cymbeline. In addition, he's done scores for Shakespeare's Coriolanus at Shakespeare Santa Cruz, a live score for No Exit at Le Neon Theater in Washington, DC (nominated for a Helen Hayes Award for best sound design), and a live score for Malinche performed at the Bovenzaal Stadsschouwburg in Amsterdam.

Klimchak's dance work is equally important to his style. His recent work includes scores for Jane Comfort ("Three Bagatelles for the Righteous, excerpt (Election Update 2004)", performed in NYC at the Joyce Theater by Jane Comfort and Co in September) and Jawole Willa Jo Zollar of Urban Bush Women ("Are We Democracy?", performed in November at Emory University's Schwartz Center for the Performing Arts). He regularly composes for faculty and guest choreographers at Emory University.

8pm- Twyndyllyngs (Pennsylvania)

Twyndyllyngs is constantly exploring new musical territory by going beyond the barriers of standard conventions while still drawing upon classical influences. Their music ranges from light and whimsical to dark and aggressive, often within the same piece. Much of it is ambient in nature; without a discernable beat. When they do play rhythmically based music, there are often complex counter rhythms giving the music a poly-rhythmic flavor. The results can be subtle and spacey without being boring, noisy without being harsh, dynamic yet continuous.

The members of Twyndyllyngs are Howard Moscovitz and Bill Fox. They all program their own sounds, and refuse to be bound by conventional scales or rhythms. The parts are freely improvised, though they frequently have structures based on the concerto forms of Mozart and Bach. This allows for maximum expressiveness and interaction between group members, while avoiding predictability.

Twyndyllyngs broadcast a weekly concert on Saturdays at 2300 GMT (7 pm EDT) on electro-music radio.

9pm- Paul Vnuk Jr (Wisconsin)

Paul Vnuk Jr. is percussionist, synthesist, vocalist, recording engineer and sound designer.
He is one half of the Tribal Ambient duo Ma Ja Le' with Christopher Short, and their albums (which have been eloquently labeled, Symphonic Tribal Minimalism) include "Dreams In The Orchards Of Saturn", "Imaginarium" (with Vir Unis) and "Seed" (with James Johnson).

Together as sound designers they have been involved in sound-libraries and projects for Sony, M-Audio and Apple, which have been used in films and top ten albums.

As a solo artist Paul's album "Silence Speaks In Shadow" is a classic among minimal-ambient connoisseurs and is a perennial favorite on the Hypnos Label. His Hypnos release, "Distance To Zero" (with Italian minimalist Oophoi) is as dark and intense as it is beautiful. His new CD last year called “Hymn of Tongues” is comprised of rehearsals and performances from City Skies 2008, and this year saw the release of the “Continental Drift” and “After Shock” world libraries for Sony Media software.

When not crafting ambient-space music, Paul can be found deep in recording and production at "The Moss Garden" a professional project studio located in the serene countryside of southern Wisconsin. As an audio engineer Paul is a regular contributing author and reviewer in Recording Magazine.

10pm- Tony Gerber (Tennessee)

Tony Gerber was mesmerized by electronic music in 1971, after playing with an SWTP theremin and hearing the classic "Switched on Bach". Like many young synthesizer explorers during the 70s he built his own PAIA synth when he was 14 years old. However, guitar is his main instrument, but he became a multi-instrumentalist over the years with an emphasis on synth sound creation.

In 1986, he founded the performance collective Space for Music which spawned multimedia performances combining film, video, dance, and electronic music. Space For Music was turned into a website in 1996 and then into a record label in 2000 (spaceformusic.com). In 1997, he founded the well-known space music group, Spacecraft, with fellow synth lover and musician, John Rose, after solo releases on the Lektronic Soundscapes label.

Combining his solo releases and SPACECRAFT recordings there are over 27 CDs available. Some of these recordings are with fellow City Skies performer and friend, Giles Reaves. Gerber has been a driving force in the art and space music arena during his 29 year stay in Nashville, TN. Tony is quite active in Second Life as the space music performer Cypress Rosewood (cypressrosewood.com). His own web site is http://spaceformusic.com/tonygerber

Many of Gerber's recorded works are the result of live performances, many of which take place in planetariums or outside, under the stars themselves. Several of Gerber's performances have been broadcast live on public radio in Tennessee, Kentucky, and Indiana and the subsequent recordings have received airplay on PBR syndicated shows like Hearts of Space and Echoes. A pioneer in the use of computers for creating music and graphics, Gerber has also consulted with Apple Computer and has given many speeches on art and technology. An accomplished visual artist and craftsman working with both computers and wood, Gerber has enjoyed exhibits sponsored by the prestigious Cheekwood Gallery in Nashville and the Visual Artists Alliance of Nashville.

11pm- R_Garcia (Georgia)

R. Garcia began making loud noise with a Japanese drumset, a pair of boom-boxes and a flamenco guitar. Through this ramshackle conglomeration of stuff, he accidentally discovered multi-track recording. The result of his experiments would lead him to record an acoustic punk album before he could even fully tune his instruments.
As a teenager, Garcia’s vision quickly grew beyond the immediate desires for beer, pot, and girls. He founded 9D recordings, a cassette-tape label that was more responsible for audio terrorism than anything else. 9D would later evolve into the critically acclaimed Nophi Recordings — a small boutique label that would grow to share in the fathering of the modern American electronic music movement.

Constantly writing, recording, releasing, and touring along the way, Garcia shows little sign of an easing stride. He currently performs with his band, The Nerd Parade, as a solo musician, periodic contributor to The Future Funk Collective, and a slew of other artistically-themed projects.
His recent return to the left-field of electronic music has afforded him a newly found dedication to the craft, where he has found comfort as both teacher and student in the ways of computer music.

"I've been writing music since I was 14. Before that, I used to create crude songs by splicing together sections of cassette tapes. I also played coronet, French horn and baritone in middle school orchestra. both scenarios were as tedious as they sound. I eventually found my way into formal training in music performance and engineering. It has taken me the better part of 10 years to unlearn the things I was taught."

"These days I focus mainly on my family and my graphic art as a means of self-actualization. This is not to say I have given up on music -- the situation is very much the opposite -- I've just chosen to remain at ease with my passion, rather than run myself ragged chasing after "the dream." I still regularly produce, record, perform, tour, do interviews and all of the fun stuff I used to do when I was hell-bent on success -- maybe even more so, only now I accept only the projects I want... It's rather nice."

Afternoon session
1pm- dRachEmUsiK (Indiana)

Live electronic music with video. Experimental, Glitch-Groove, Ambient Beats, with a Modal Jazz Influence. Simple melodies swirling in mixed tempos and undulating textures. Dense, erotic, complex, emotional, spontaneous.

The ambient and experimental sets are entirely improvised except for transition material between improvisations.

The content of the musical structures (sound design, melodies, harmonies etc) are created from "scratch". In other words no pre-existing audio or MIDI sounds or loops are used in the creation of the music.

The rest of the music is a blend of improvisation and structure and is performed in real-time. The basic musical ideas are built in the studio and then dozens of audio events (or clips) are created for each piece. The audio events are triggered and manipulated via 36 foot switches and 16 faders along with real time synthesis played from an EWI4000S and MIDI keyboard.

Consequently, in performance, the content of each piece of music remains the same but the structure varies each time a piece is played depending on my mood and the environment. This allows me to interact creatively with the audience and have more personal expression.

2pm- Burning Artist(s) Sale (Georgia)

Kevin Haller's moniker for the variety of artistic and musical endeavors is Burning Artist(s) Sale. Alter egos include Killer Haven, a grizzled guitar slinging rocker that prefers to stay in his bunker making videos. KVpop writes catchy hooks, but until recently was too afraid to let friends or colleagues help him put finishing touches on his compositions. K love writes music intended for dance clubs old and new. eleK troniK is an ambient and experimental sound sculptor. Burning Artist occasionally performs as a solo artist (and is even sometimes usurped by Killer Haven), but prefers the dynamic of group interaction. Recent musical involvement has been with the Robert Cheatham Quartet, a regrouped BAS (w/ Barbara Vesey), both City Skies & Different Skies "All Star" jams, and a re-united Amalgamated Cliff Divers. Burning Artist is proud to have played at EYEDRUM's First Thursday Open Improv for more years than he can remember. Past bands have included GFE, Random Violets, Harper Fragment, Empty V, MASTERCOW, and TOAST.

3pm- Earthgirl (Indiana)

Jeannie Allen is Earthgirl, whose music grows from sounds and feelings on our planet, plus some imagined ones. A lone car driving by late at night, far away thunder, the tapping of rain, and the swirls of falling stars.

Earthgirl is a veteran of electronic music festivals around the country including Different Skies 2008 in Arizona, electro-music 2008 in Tennessee, and City Skies 08 in Georgia. She also performs regularly in her hometown of Indianapolis, Indiana.

Jeannie has been inspired by new music created every day and by the musical roots of Vince Clarke, Yaz, Erasure, Tangerine Dream, Stereolab, Portishead, Moby, Brian Eno, ELO, Lou Reed, Syd Barrett, Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, The Police, and Mozart, to name a few.

Earthgirl music combines ambient, experimental and found sounds to create sonic soundscapes, that have attracted the the attention of fans, musicians, and record labels around the globe. When the debut album "Vibrations in Space" is released in 2008, all profits will go for global warming relief in developing countries.

4pm- 84001 (Tennessee)

84001 began in upstate NY as a lo-fi/drone/experimental music bedroom recording project in the mid-1990's. A short-run self released cassette was distributed in 1997 to a small number of college radio stations, independent music magazines, and friends. More tracks were recorded in the summer of 1997 and another tape release titled '84001-prospectUs' followed. In the fall of 1998, '84001-whatwouldhealthiswoundedsoul?' was released. Masters and any copies of that tape have since been lost. From 1999-2005, 84001 was dormant. 84001 returned in Nashville, TN in late 2005. By mid-2007, the cd-r 'we look for things to make us go' was completed. 84001 has been playing shows in Tennessee and Georgia, and completed the CD-R “The Search for Incandescent Glaciers”. 84001 is currently a two man project exploring a variety of sonic territories.

Evening session
7pm- Mark Mahoney (Tennessee)

Mark Mahoney describes himself as an ambient/experimental musician, but often his music will embrace other genres as well. When performing, his compositions will take the listener through mysterious inner journeys that have many musical twists and turns.

Mahoney has been a musician most of his life. Evolving from saxophone, bass guitar, acoustic/electric guitar, and now synthesizers, Mahoney is comfortable on any of these instruments. Referencing greats such as John Coltrane, Steve Roach, and Robert Rich, Mahoney approaches his craft in a very thoughtful and cerebral manner that defines post-modern ambient music. He utilizes both analogue and digital synthesizers in performance.

8pm- M. Peck (Tennessee)

Michael Peck is a ubiquitous fixture in Northeast Tennessee’s thriving music scene. Known for his energetic and cross genre live sets, Peck has carved a name for himself in the electronic music community up and down the east coast performing at the Electro-Music.com Festivals as well as performing at the prestigious Gathering Concert Series in Philadelphia.

Over the past decade his solo releases have been praised both in the U.S. as well as abroad. His collaborations with fellow electronic musician Mark Mahoney have also been regarded as some of the best progressive ambient being released to date. Peck also curates the Waiting World Records label that was launched earlier this year that focuses on releasing “curious music” from independent musicians ranging from ambient to noise and everything in between. Peck is proud to say that he burns the candle at both ends and is driven by creativity and self expression through sound design.

9pm- Richard Lainhart (New York)

Richard Lainhart is an award-winning composer, author, and filmmaker. He studied composition and electronic music with Joel Chadabe at the State University of New York at Albany, and has worked and performed with John Cage, David Tudor, Steve Reich, Phill Niblock, David Berhman, and Jordan Rudess, among many others.

His compositions have been performed in the US, England, Sweden, Australia, and Japan. He's also played vibes in a swing band; composed music for film, television, CD-ROMs, interactive applications, and the Web; released recordings of his own music on the Periodic Music, Vacant Lot, and XI Records labels; engineered audio for recordings and live sound; and served as technical director at Intelligent Music, a pioneering music software company. He has performed in public approximately 2000 times.

Since childhood, he's been interested in natural processes such as waves, flames and clouds, in harmonics and harmony, and in creative interactions with machines, using them as compositional methods to present sounds that are as beautiful as he can make them.

"He's evolved a singular vision as a composer, performer and engineer of darkly seductive minimalism." (Peter Marsh, BBC)

[His] "music reflects the spirit of possibility that once defined electronic music, bringing with it a sense of past, present and future that transcends time, technology and cultural assumptions. The spell-binding music seemed to evoke feelings that can't quite be named, and suggest music I might rather imagine for myself in silence than trust most composers to compose." (The Village Voice)

"Lainhart crafts sounds in a tonal, musical fashion - sustained tones, drones, melodic fragments - and electronically manipulates them into beautiful tapestries of sound. At a casual or first listen, these pieces ... might seem static or aimless, but given time - and if you liberate yourself from the concept of music-as-event - the sounds develop in an imperturbable, organic manner, washing over you a gently as a sunset." (Waterfront Week)

10pm- Richard Devine (Georgia)

Richard Devine is an Atlanta-based electronic musician. He is recognized for producing a layered and heavily processed sound, combining influences from old and modern electronic music. Devine largely records for the Miami-based Schematic Records. As a result of praise of his music from Autechre as well as a remix of Aphex Twin's Come To Daddy, Devine recorded an album for Warp Records which was jointly released by Schematic and Warp.

Devine first started using computers for composition around 1993. Don Hassler, an instructor at the Atlanta College of Art, got him interested in computer synthesis, introducing Devine to CSound and other powerful computer-based applications. Devine claims he coded a couple FFT applications in SuperCollider, an environment and programming language for real-time audio synthesis. “It’s interesting, because you’re doing things to sound that just aren’t physically possible.”

Devine also uses Native Instruments (NI) software. His favorite NI applications are Reaktor and Absynth. Reaktor is a very powerful modular system, similar in many respects to classic modular synthesizer systems but also capable of performing low-level DSP sound processing. Devine has also designed sound patches for NI’s Absynth. He has also scored commercials for Nike and Touchstone Pictures, and engineered and performed his own music worldwide.

During the past three years, Richard Devine has remixed top Warp artists like Aphex Twin and Mike Patton (Faith No More). He has released 4 full-length albums on Schematic, Warp, Asphodel, and Sublight records and has performed his own ear-tearing music mayhem worldwide. Based from Atlanta, Georgia he has done film score work for Touchstone Pictures (with John Hues & Kyle Cooper). He has also collaborated with BT (Brian Transeau on movie "Surveillance" Directed by Adam Rifkin, Wieden & Kennedy, AKQA Inc., and have done sound mangling/programming for Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, composed and designed commercials for the Nike Shoe Company and worked with various companies doing sound design for Audi, Ford, Scion, LandRover, Peugeot, Dodge, HBO, Nestle, Nike Japan, McDonald's, Spike Television network and XBOX (Halo2 for Microsoft Gamming Division http://www.halo2.com. He has also worked with Konami gaming division for the Dance-Dance Revolution game. And currently now for Sony Play station PS3 (Infected) for Dawn of the Dead. He has also recently completed all the sound design for the new xbox360. http://www.xbox360.com

In conjunction with TV and film work Richard also has done programming and sound design work with major audio companies. His work has been featured and endorsed on new software and hardware titles from many innovative companies such as Apple Computers, Allen & Heath, Ecler DJ Mixers, Digidesign Eventide, Izotope, Access Virus, Native Instruments, Korg, Clavia Nord, Alesis, Ableton Live, Apple Computers, Openlabs, Universal Audio, Hartmann Neuron synthesizers, Stanton Magnetics DJ Company, and M-Audio Division.

11pm- Duet for Theremin & Lap Steel (Georgia)

Duet for Theremin and Lapsteel is Scott Burland on Theremin and Frank Schultz on Lap Steel. The project came out of an Eyedrum improv group performance at The Contemporary. Although we were both there, we never did get paired up to play together and thought that it would be an interesting pairing. Performances and recorded tracks are improvised.

Star's End Airplay & Reviews for Combs Creek Haller 'Singularity'

2010-03-26T06:14:00.000-07:00

Chuck van Zyl, host of Star's End Ambient Radio, is featuring the new Combs Creek Haller CD Singularity on his radio show this weekend. He writes about the album in his weekly newsletter:

Combs Creek Haller form an uneasy unity. This trio has realized a mesmerizing and well-imagined work in THE SINGULARITY, a double album of improvised electronic jams. Reducing music to its most basic form they attempt pure contact with the universe. Broken down to its constituent elements, then reconstructed as sound collage, this Spacemusic engages the mind to the great mystery of the cosmos - a source larger than us all. Each of the two compositions spend their lengthy opening sections presenting a nearly atonal soundscape. Evoking a transcendent state of mind this ensemble breathes beautiful synth textures into space. A drone, over which the musicians are in constant dialogue, runs beneath swirling modulation effects and ascendant forms, and provides the impression of breaking through from the material world to interstellar space. Tones fold inward along a slow sweeping arc as resonant harmonic clouds expand and recede. Well into this void a sequence pattern rises and is joined by commanding lead lines and vaporous sustaining chords in minor keys. Ultimately listeners will contemplate this work as a record of a unique live performance - where three musicians have come together under a profound intuition. THE SINGULARITY is a statement so rich in sonic pleasures, its inevitable slight trips and slips are forgiven - and proves that it is better that musicians dare too much than too little.

Tune in to STAR'S END this weekend for music from THE SINGULARITY the new CD from Jim Combs Jez Creek & Kevin Haller

Hypnagogue Reviews also provided a mini-review in their "Off The Grid" column:

Off the Grid
Because I recieve so much music for review, I don't usually buy or download it. Now and then, though, I just can't help myself. I don't review what I get for myself, but I do write about it here, Off the Grid.
The thing you need to know going into the Combs Creek Haller offering, Singularity, is that it's a flat-out live improvised session between three artists who'd never really met and never rehearsed. Getting ready for a City Skies monthly showcase, Jim Combs (aka Sensitive Chaos), Jez Creek (Modulator ESP) and Kevin Haller (Burning Artist Sale(s)) decided to jam--and, thankfully, thought to record it. The upshot is that you get to listen to an astonishingly deep, very cool space-music journey that you will absolutely lose yourself in. And considering that it's free from Earth Mantra, it's worth your download time. (The file is 243 MB in size.) If I was reviewing this, it would easily be a Hypnagogue Highly Recommended work.

Combs Creek Haller CD "Singularity" Released on Earth Mantra

2010-02-06T19:12:00.000-08:00

My latest double CD "Singularity" w/ master musicians Jez Creek and Kevin Haller is released and available free:

From Earth Mantra Netlabel:

As we've written many times, one of the great pleasures of running a netlabel is to meet new artists and release their music. A related pleasure that is in many ways even cooler is to be able to release something for the first time by folks you already know and love. It is precisely that honor that we have today, with this majestic new release called Singularity.

This magnificent two-disc album was recorded live the evening of November 6 and into the morning of November 7, 2009. It so happened that Jez Creek, who calls Nottingham in the United Kingdom home, was visiting in the Atlanta, Georgia area as part of his USA tour, in order to perform at the City Skies electronic music concert on November 7. Kevin Haller, whose house Jez was staying at, was also performing at the same concert. And Jim Combs, being the organizer and founder of the concert series, was of course going to be performing as well. So just for fun, the three decided to do a live concert on StillStream.com the night before the big show. And the results were so good that they decided to release the recordings as this album.

Amazingly, given the quality of the pieces, the music was completely improvised. The musicians had never performed together as a group before this set and no preparations were done prior to the broadcast except for choosing keys and tempos. Somehow these three artists who had never played together at the same time, and had done almost nothing to prepare, immediately found a zone in which electronic ambient music of the highest order started pouring forth. Needless to say, the audience that night was blown away by the set, and we think that our listeners are going to be similarly impressed by what they hear in Singularity.

For indeed, this is some of the most beautiful live ambient music we have heard in quite awhile. Earth Mantra has long been a fan of all three of the artists' solo work, but we were dumbfounded by the synergy the three artists found so effortlessly as they sat down to play. Improvising live ambient music can be a challenging task, and to do it really well, with the right balance of patience and activity, is surprisingly hard. The fact that these three artists could hit such a bullseye, with zero preparation and without the benefit of knowing each other's live playing styles, is in our eyes nothing short of miraculous.

We could attempt to describe this music to you, but ultimately we would fail. Suffice it to say that it is beautiful, it is well constructed, very competently performed, and it just plain rocks. Better yet, why not download a copy of this album right now and give it a listen for yourself. We are certain that any fan of ambient music will be very happy they did.
