Sensitive Chaos is StillStream.com's Artist of the Month for April 2010

Sensitive Chaos

Electronica and ambience for everyone.
(April 01, 2010) - Sensitive Chaos, the electronic ambient music project of Jim Combs, is the kind of music that everyone can love. With clever sequences, lovely sound design, and a complete lack of pretense, the music is both infectious and uplifting. Not only is Jim a superb artist, but he is also the driving force behind the City Skies concert series, and a regular performer in the Atlanta music scene. StillStream is proud to recommend Sensitive Chaos to all of our listeners.

Combs Creek Haller CD "Singularity" Released on Earth Mantra

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.

KKUP 91.5FM Selects Sensitive Chaos as Best Visionary Music of 2009

KKUP 91.5FM's Eric Mystic, DJ for the Mystic Music radio show, has selected the Sensitive Chaos Emerging Transparency CD as one of the Best Visionary Music of 2009. The CD received airplay on the Visionary Music Marathon that ran from January 1 through January 3, 2010.

Sensitive Chaos was part of a select crowd that included:

Picks of the Year 2009

(or in some cases the year before, if not played on Mystic Music until 2009). The top 30, plus others, were played on the visionary marathon Jan.1, 2010, between Noon and 10 PM. Rankings are a fluid and approximate picture of my experience of these works, and subject to change later, but the number might help you remember a CD you liked that you heard on the marathon, and to find it on this list. Eric Mystic recommends all of these as the best visionary music I know of in 2009. Most are filed in our KKUP library. Those in bold may still be premiums available for a pledge of $40 or more (check DJ for availability); please call during the marathon, or our regular visionary programs, and pledge if you want one. Thanks very much for listening and supporting KKUP Peoples Radio.

Hearts Of Space features Sensitive Chaos on first show of 2010

Hearts Of Space is considered by most electronic or space musicians as the penultimate radio show for our genre of music. Hearts Of Space is currently running on over 200 NPR affiliates and XM Satellite Radio, and features absolutely the best and most beautifully produced music from around the globe. It is hard to express the emotion and honor of being selected for inclusion on the show. While many analogies abound, suffice to say Hearts Of Space is the "big leagues" for us.

So, it was with great excitement when I discovered that the Sensitive Chaos track "Fifty Light Years From Home" from the Emerging Transparency CD was selected to be the lead off song for Hearts Of Space's first show of 2010, Program # 897 called "Perigee":

Happy New Year, Spacefans!

Here's one of life's imponderables: while our culture reaches some kind of high point during the end-of-the-year holiday celebrations, for those of us in the Northern hemisphere the natural world is at the low point, or perigee in its yearly cycle.

Beneath all the celebration, in the short, chilled days that follow the winter solstice,
 we find a quiet passage on the long journey to spring. We reflect on the year just past, 
and make plans and resolutions for the one to come. It's a period of active reflection, 
a time for looking both inward and outward…at once.

On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, we aim to help that reflection, with a wintry electro-ambient journey called PERIGEE. Music is by SENSITIVE CHAOS, BLUETECH, PAN ELECTRIC & ISHQ, RICHARD BONE, GLEN TARACHOW, GLEN DARCEY, BETWEEEN INTERVAL, GULAN, REMKO ARENTZ, and KLAUS SCHULZE.

QRO Magazine Review of Sensitive Chaos' Nophest Performance

QRO Magazine writer Mic Mell reviewed last month's Nophest Music Festival and gave my Sensitive Chaos performance a nice mention. Read the whole review here.

My mention is here:

The music itself passed the spectrum from afternoon ambient electronica to full on blaring rock ‘n' roll at night. Each band that played had their own identity, their own image, and their own talent. There was not a dud in the bunch. Nophest is not musically genre based, and each passing hour continued to showcase electronic, rock, indie, and punk bands, all spanning the extensive and eclectic of Garcia, and the community at large. Friday night included the hard electronic and multimedia presentation of Larvae, and the experimental and lively Jungol. This Piano Plays Itself brought a lush, raw, and well arranged mix of rock and pop. Saturday was a very rock oriented, and the parking lot and stage area were jam packed for the full Renaissance regalia and steampunk sensibility of Extraordinary Contraption, and the blazing guitar and soulful vocals of Garcia's own indie band Nerd Parade. By Sunday, the crowds were sparse, partly due to the endless rain, as well as the unrelenting hangovers. Halfway through the day, Sensitive Chaos summed up the mood perfectly, with a low-key set of electronics that massaged the brain, and soothed the heart. While the music played on, the other major event of Sunday was a large gathering of folks in the parking lot playing six degrees of Kevin Bacon, complete with notes and a map for quick reference.

Sensitive Chaos @ MGFest and City Skies Shows July 11 & 12

I'll be performing as Sensitive Chaos twice on the weekend of July 11th and 12 with shows at Saturday night's City Skies 09 Electronic Music event @ Kavarna in Decatur, GA and Sunday night's MGFest09 (Motion Graphics Fest) @ The Creative Circus in Atlanta, GA.

My set at City Skies will start at 8pm and other fantastic performers that night are Pink Kodiak, reklein, and Mark Mahoney. Kavarna is located at 707 East Lake Drive, Decatur, GA 30030. More info can be found at CitySkies.com.

I'm really excited about the MGFest show. I'll be performing from 9:30-11pm for an extra long set, and my set visuals will be provided by Integrated Visions, an Atlanta, GA based VJ team founded by Michelle Penland and Bryan Dodson in 2002.

After graduating from the art school at the University of Georgia, Michelle and Bryan began experimenting with collaborative visual arts, searching for a technique that would allow them to collaborate with visual art similar to the way Jazz musicians collaborate with sound. This experimentation led them to discover the unlimited possibilities of VJing. In addition to allowing Michelle and Bryan the opportunity to collaborate with each other, VJing has allowed them the opportunity to collaborate with countless artists from different disciplines including musicians, dancers, actors and directors.

Since 2002, Integrated Visions has performed live video projections along side many internationally recognized artists including DJ Qbert, Richard Devine, Carl Cox, Infected Mushroom, Deep Dish, the Juice Crew and The Roots. Their work can also be seen on tour this summer with Very Disco, a Daft Punk Tribute. Read more!
