Both sophisticated and ethereal, Artemis' first Magnatune release- Undone- is a confident exploration of the more lyrical side of electronic music. Some tracks evoke a cool and contemplative mood and others, a fiery and impassioned one, but all seem to see the big picture, expressing Artemis' expansive yet tender worldview. "Changing Sky" successfully conjures the spark and scope of Peter Gabriel and Sinead O'Connor's best work, and "Supernatural" is an exquisite ballad that demonstrates Artemis' gift for bridging the sacred and profane. "Don't Look Back" is another standout, and serves as a preview to Artemis' subsequent work, in which she becomes ever more deeply fascinated with the connection between material and spiritual worlds.
...born in a trailer park. opened her eyes and stuck out her tongue at her new human companions, and staked her claim as a performance artist. there is documented analog proof of artemis singing her way through the first reading of a book.
wrote her first hit, fiddle dee fiddle o fiddle dee, at the age of four. discovered daddy longlegs and accidentally liked doing mean things to them. announced her plans to become a ballerina, doctor and rock star and marry shaun cassidy. won the hustle contest at the mall, and first prize for best mushroom sculpture at 4-H family camp.
tried to be a good girl scout, but got ex-communicated for biting off barbie's arms and legs.
grew up studying chemistry in the back of a rusty gold sixty-seven dodge and become the family's first straight-A college dropout, herbalist, prolific poetess and brilliant musical artist. forgot all about shaun cassidy and marriage.
still likes to wear the girl scout uniform though. is nice to most bugs, especially spiders.
is right at home in san francisco. would rather defy definition, but will make up something crafty if you ask her nicely.
has a knack for blending acoustic and electronic worlds and likes to think she can use music, poetry and her voice to trick people into thinking twice or better yet, not thinking at all.
has performed in the bay area solo and with former band desolation angels. is currently making waves with her debut cd 'undone' and is happily banging away at her follow-up offering. ...follow the dots, but beware of connecting them!
if you like what you hear, hold onto your hat, drop the sandbags and stay tuned. planets are colliding. the dimensions of the invisible universe are showing us a little leg.
the crew is building a new boat. it is red and shiny like the old radio flyer, with lovely sails woven by the original wise old babooshka in her spooky backwoods hut built on chicken legs.
keep your eyes and ears and all other sense organs peeled ... this ship is aimed aimed straight for the moon.
