Hot Swedish electro artists The Knife?s third studio album Silent Shout will be in stores on July 25th. Based in Stockholm, Sweden The Knife create subversive, shape-shifting soundscapes that defy categorization. Moving between realms, from highly danceable to tightly intimate spaces, theirs is music left of center and on the avant tip. Silent Shout, The Knife's third album, debuted at #1 on the Swedish charts. Mute will release Silent Shout, The Knife's first domestic release on July 25, 2006. "Silent Shout," the first single and title track, will be released on 12" and CD June 27, 2006 and features remixes from Shinedoe, Troy Pierce and more. Brother and sister, Olof Dreijer and Karin Dreijer Andersson, began making music together as The Knife in 1999, releasing records under their label Rabid Records. Deftly utilizing technology to strip, break down, defile, rebuild, and renew, their self-titled debut album The Knife, released in 2001, was followed by a soundtrack for the independent film Hannah med H, and their second artist album, Deep Cuts, both in 2003. The Knife is also famously responsible for penning ?Heartbeats?, a soul-tugging track made popular by Mute label-mate (and fellow Swede) Jose Gonzalez.

Richie Hawtin's latest project is DE9: Transitions. Realized in 5.1 surround sound and using the latest recording technology to create an immersive sonic experience, DE9: Transitions encompasses 95 minutes of altered perception. It combines everything from original Hawtin productions to unreleased tracks straight from the studios of cutting-edge producers like Ricardo Villalobos, and adds flashes of classic techno moments which inspired him when he was a young clubber. But most of the tracks are fundamentally transformed from their original states. Some fade in and out over a period of minutes, while others are reduced to one single sampled note. The on-screen read-out on the DVD version of DE9: Transitions illustrates the smoothly shape-shifting outline of a remarkable complex project. In fact, the tracks are so close to becoming entirely new compositions that Hawtin has made the decision to give them his own names. "It's taking a chance, doing a mix CD and giving the tracks my own titles representing what these pieces have become," Hawtin admits. "But I believe it's gone far enough that I can do that. Some people might get pissed about it; we'll see. The CD artwork plays with that; it's a picture of my face which is totally made up of these track names, so it shows you that although this is made by me, I'm no greater or lesser than the information I'm using."

In 2003, it is press-bio cliche to front that an artist or an album is so original it resists definition, which for most artists is the case. And most of the time, originality isn't even meritous. Unless you are CEX aka loquacious Baltimore-based MC / laptop wunderkind and stylistic shape shifter Rjyan Kidwell, in which case your originality and unwavering commitment to your own artistic evolution clearly evidences you as a genius. So how would one ever expect to find out who Cex really is? Cex himself provides the easy answer: rjyan.com. Since 2000, Kidwell has kept a meticulously up-to-date, didactic and, often embarrassingly forthright diary on his website-- before Beck did it, before Moby did it, and long before Blogger and Livejournal came on the scene. This diary, and the spirit of intimacy that pervades all of Cex's output, is the constant that has stayed the same throughout the Cex discography. Unlike some artists, you don't have to take a press release's word for it to believe that Cex is honest--- beyond the point-blank directness of his lyrics, you can read his own handwriting in his album's liner notes, and check the website for Rjyan holding forth on bad shows, being a feminist, Catholic guilt and what kind of drugs you can get for free. And it's fascinating.
A butterfly collector sees the butterfly of his dreams. The only thing that stands in the way of him adding it to his collection is a pesky monkey bent on setting his butterflies free. This short film attempts to create an organic feel by mixing watercolour paintings with 3D computer animation.
Back before there was the Internet, early cavemen dialed onto computer bulletin board systems, or BBSes, to get their online fix. Many of these boards distinguished themselves with ANSI art, an early form of electronic cave paintings. ANSI was an extension to the even earlier form of caveman communication known as ASCII, used in MS-DOS based computers. It is with great pleasure that we happened upon the San Francisco hacker art gallery called 20 goto 10, where an ANSI art exhibition was in progress. Irina Slutsky talks to curator Kevin Olson, who takes us on a tour of some of the amazing early work of two ANSI artists: lordjazz and somms.

Francis DiPietro: "Drink the Summer Sky"
A soft and reflective song that can sometimes change your mood, like a good dose of valerian root. Images evoke memories in a fine, kaleidoscopic mist. Thoughtful vocals and a simple tune allow the listener to paint additional pictures, and hopefully find something personal and meaningful within.
