City Skies 08 Electronic Music Event, December 13, 2008 in Decatur, GA

The last City Skies 08 Electronic Music Event of 2008 will be held on
December 13, 2008, from 8pm until midnight at Kavarna in the Oakhurst
area of Decatur, GA.

The concert venue, Kavarna, gives us a perfect vibe for our events,
with great sound and a nice selection of food and beverage for
festival attendees. Kavarna is a non-smoking and all-ages venue.

The show will be broadcast live on StillStream.com

Real electronic music performed live by humans!

Sensitive Chaos | Michael Thomas Roe | Masik | Earthgirl

8pm - Sensitive Chaos

Sensitive Chaos is the nom du plume of Jim Combs, a solo ambient
musician who works with audio and MIDI looping devices 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.

9pm - Michael Thomas Roe

Atlanta-based electronic musician and composer Michael Thomas Roe is
currently collaborating with pioneering German electronic musician
Conrad Schnitzler (Kluster, Tangerine Dream) and working at feverish
pace to get KLUSTER 2008 out before year's end. KLUSTER 2007 was
released mid-2008 with Conrad and Japanese electronic musician Ooy
(Masato Ooyama).

Michael's current independent releases include "Memory" and "Treasure
Island", to name a few. He has also released "Cathedral" on the
TEKSOUNDS label (www.soundsforlife.com) and previously collaborated
with fellow synth artist Jim Combs in electronic duo Touchxtone, which
released 12 CD's and performed too numerous gigs to count from 2002 to
2005. Michael has also performed and recorded with Hawkwind-affiliated
space rockers Spaceseed. He somehow finds time to perform, produce and
record drums for Atlanta punk rock band Flat Cat.

10pm - Másik

Másik is a Multimedia Hybrid Performance Ensemble/Improvisational Jazz
Trio experimenting with the outer limits of what is accepted in
today's society. Jazz, Electronic, Surrealism, Funk, Dada, Dance,
HipHop, Metal, Avant, Folk & Freeform are just some of the styles
deconstructed and sometimes laced back together in an exploration of
culture.

Practices, performances & recordings are improvised, allowing a stream
of musical consciousness to constantly flow until the desired sound is
achieved. These methods allow for endless possibilities of creation
and mind/thought manipulation.

11pm - Earthgirl

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.
