Bio
Artemis came to us from the East Coast, a place where integrity and intelligence are essential to survival. Balance this out with her creative fire, fed by the fuel of the great poets - Rilke, Pablo Naruda, and Walt Whitman, and the powerful artistic legacy of countless musical sages, and we begin to see a picture of Artemis.
Music and poetry flow together in this cosmic seamstress, as she weaves together water and fire to bring us her own unforgettable voice. She is not satisfied with convention, but neither is she interested in being overly ham-fisted in her progressive tendencies. She may write songs in 15/8 meter, but she will never sacrifice emotional content for innovation.
Some will say she reminds them of Bjork, others of Lamb or EBTG. Ultimately, Artemis' talent places her in the enviable position of 'peer' next to these artists, making her influences known throughout her music without sounding like an imitation. Her vocal style is at once dynamically emotional and serenely tender, but always evocative. She gives one the feeling that her search is not a selfish one. She's trying to mine the depths of her self in order to help us all understand the multifaceted nature of being human.
Listen to the music. It's all there.
Like a force of nature, or a celestial body, Artemis radiates a magnetism which inevitably draws other like-minded individuals to her. RTFM is a great metaphor for this. Artemis, along with Keith Crusher and their cohorts, has helped create the foundation for a vision larger than themselves - a vision that, without her boundless and unique charisma, would not be what it is today. Her release, 'Undone' is what started the whole thing in the first place. No album could be a more appropriate flagship for what is to come.
About
Breathing a rich dose of soul into the cool digital world, Artemis brews up seductive sonic concoctions, deftly weaving poetry and pure emotion into psychoacoustic landscapes pulsing with life both otherworldly and organic. With her roots in classical and folk music, training in vocal traditions from several corners of the globe, and an ear for innovation, Artemis puts electronic music's limitless spectrum to bold use. Her style ranges from sparse and sparkling to richly symphonic, blending elements of trip-hop, downtempo, drum and bass, breakbeats, and electro-pop to create a potent fusion set ablaze with siren vocals as riveting as they are intimate.
Artemis is joined by fellow members of electronic artist collective RTFM for live performances featuring Artemis on vocals, flutes and theremin, Keith Crusher on bass, programming and live effects, Daniel Berkman on handsonic percussion, African kora, keys and guitar, and Cliff Tune on drums, both acoustic and electronic. Their live show is always carries an engaging lighting/video and set design. Artemis's sibylline lyrical vision and a posse of extraordinary musicians and artists of sound and light weld a hypnotic synergy, offering the audience an inspiring aural and visual journey.
Artemis' releases Gravity (2005), Undone (2001) and a remix cd, 'Orbits', have garnered praise and press in publications from the New York Times to Remix, Electronic Musician and Keyboard magazines. She is a top seller on online music labels Magnatune and Cyberset. Her music receives airplay in the U.S. and internationally, has been licensed for television, video and compilations, and she has recorded and collaborated with producers worldwide including Banco de Gaia's Toby Marks and former Duran Duran manager Paul Berrow. Currently Artemis is in the studio working on a new release.
