Playable, Musical Art

While The Good Graces were waiting for The Evening Muse to open up for our show in Charlotte last Saturday, we stumbled across this little gallery called Beet in the NoDa part of town. It just so happened that they had a gallery set up with these playable guitar and synth wooden art pieces made by Ben Simon. We plugged in and rocked out.

Beet Contemporary Crafts & Functional Art Gallery is at 3202-A N. Davidson Street, Charlotte, NC, 28205. If you go, ask for Nancy Neely and tell her the musicians who played the wild guitars sent you.

The Good Graces Tour Wrap-up

I got to rock North Carolina with The Good Graces this past weekend, with stops in Chapel Hill (The Cave), Greensboro (The Flatiron), and Charlotte (The Evening Muse, where the above photo was taken by Ron Culpepper). Many photos were taken and much has been written:

AJC Gives Flip Four Stars

Flip, the new Atlanta burger eatery from the team of Barry Mills and Richard Blais, was given a stellar review and four stars by the Atlanta Journal Constitution. Mark Nanna, husband of The Good Graces' Kim Ware, is the operating chef there. My personal review gives Flip five stars, but the AJC has more readers.

For someone who has never opened a restaurant before, businessman Barry Mills is sitting pretty right now. Burrowed into the weirdness that makes up the stretch of Howell Mill Road between I- 75 and the Atlanta Waterworks, his mod house of burgers, Flip, has a bar packed three- to four-deep, and the dining room is turning tables faster than the cooks can flip the burgers onto their buttery brioche buns.

A smallish room, as square as a to-go box, is highlighted by blond-wood tables and aluminum chairs, hipster music, splashes of red and white, and a custom graphic on the back wall that conjures the fleeting feeling of Warhol’s Exploding Plastic Inevitable mutimedia events. But Flip is hardly a nihilistic showdown of any sort.

No, everything here, from the name to the playful faux-French frames around the flat screen TVs is fun. Especially the burgers.

Well, that is save for one thing: The title “creative director” for chef Richard Blais seems a bit stuffy for the guy who introduced Atlanta to liquid nitrogen and frozen Coca-Cola rocks.

Finally, after years of wandering nomadic in Atlanta’s restaurant scene — from his own failed Blais five years ago to his star-maker stint last year on Bravo’s “Top Chef” — Blais has arrived.

And with what? Burgers.

Sensitive Chaos Holiday Music 2008

Hi Folks!

I performed my first 3-hour-plus set at the Academe of the Oaks Sparkle "N" Splurge Benefit Auction yesterday.

If you enjoy chillout, downtempo, holiday-tinged electronic music and would like a copy of the live recording I made or would like to share it with friends, you can download an mp3 copy here:

http://www.sensitivechaos.com/secretpage.html

Scroll to the bottom of the list and you'll see three links; Academe Holiday 120608 Pt1 - Pt3, each links to an approximately hour long segment of the performance. Right Click or Option Click to download the mp3s to your computer.

A short word about what you'll hear (or what you heard). All the music was composed spontaneously, on the fly, emerging as I was sitting there over in the corner of the room. Nothing was prerecorded.

As I was supporting a holiday event, the music uses alot of sounds associated with the holidays, namely bells, strings, organs, pianos, and drums, with some synth sounds and a kalimba thrown into the mix. I was playing off the energy in the room, so tempos, volumes, and dynamics were created to complement the vibe during the event. The music is intended to be ambient, so playing quietly in the background is recommended. Think "a slightly less cheesy Fresh Aire holiday" album.

There's no charge for these downloads, Happy Holidays!
