video of the city skies performance by rich & josh! whee!
Yours truly, threv, joined Jeremy Dickens (www.offnominal.com) and Secret Life bandmate Tricil (John Jacobus) at Kavarna in Oakhurst this past Saturday for the City Skies festival.
Hosted by the ever-smiling Jim Combs (jimcombs.com), it featured artists such as Richard Devine and Josh Kay (from Atlanta and Phoenecia), Collaboration with Sounds (from South Carolina), Don Hassler (from Atlanta), and Bribing The Buddha (from Atlanta).
Kavarna is an awesome little coffee/wine/sandwich shop in Oakhurst, which is a lot cooler IMO than Decatur, but whatever. Perfect little setup for a stage full of modular synths, a LEMUR, Tenori-On, Moogs, and macs-a-plenty.
We got there just as Collaboration with Sounds performed some noisy ditties w/her Moog Rogue & Macbook.
After she performed, Don Hassler tweaked a synthhead’s dream – an EMS Synthi A & Buchla Modular.
Closing out the night was Richard Devine & Josh Kay (of Schematic & Phoenecia) who jammed on a box of modular gear for about 1.25 hours. They projected Rich’s Reaktor patches on screen as Josh tweaked their modulars (heh, that’s what she said). Rich futzed around w/his JazzMutant Lemur, which was hooked up to Reaktor, as well as his Tenori-On.
most of the music of the night was self-similar, but you won’t hear us complaining. shit was dope, and overall an awesome night for live electronic music played by humans.
