    Limited edition of 75 signed and numbered hand-made packages, each absolutely unique. Beautiful vinyl-look CD (with tactile grooves) tucked into a recycled paper sleeve hand-stamped on both sides with metallic pigment inks, and wrapped up in a recycled Kraft sleeve eco-dyed by hand with hi-desert flora and rusted metal objects gathered from the landscape that brought these songs to life. Follow @artemis_music on Instagram to see time-lapse videos of each step of the making of these little treasures. Images shown here are *examples* of works in progress - further/alternate embellishments may be made, and no two will look exactly alike. Check back for more images! Also, because each element is lovingly hand-crafted, your one-of-a-kind CD package may be blessed with its own tiny flaws and imperfections, just like all of us. Handle with care and enjoy!

lyrics

schooner skim the night
spinnaker billow
phosphorescent light

sail the frequencies
ever shifting
pull treasure up
from the deep

shadow only
distance traveled
between
points of light

suns and moons racing by
raindrops on portholes
trickle
trails like teardrops

breathing like a tree
never reaching
terminal velocity

ringing in your ears
echo in back of your head
second hand slowing
til you're light years ahead

drifting particles
universe of broken rules
elegant punctuate
each life sentence

fibonacci a spine
every moment passing
crows land round your eyes
tattoo a smile

catch memory
snowflakes on your tongue
dissolve into you
doorways and tunnels

we hide and we seek
higher resolution
each frame closer to
home within range

we hide and we seek
higher resolution
each frame closer to
dot on horizon

drifting particles
universe of broken rules
elegant punctuate
each life sentence

Artemis San Francisco

Spectral keyboard washes and sinuous dance beats set up a feeling of warm alienation while Artemis’s voice heats things further. Over the thump and shimmer, she croons with detached fervor, the music dissolving in a storm of pixie-dust disco until a rude riot of effects snaps the tether and she vanishes. ... more
