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.
