Originally conceived as the live backing band for her Julie Ruin solo project, Bikini Kill founder and quintessential riot grrrl Kathleen Hanna formed Le Tigre, another bold, feminist-oriented trio, with filmmaker Sadie Benning and zine creator Johanna Fateman in 1998. Borrowing a page from Hanna's Julie Ruin output, Le Tigre mixed punk's directness and politics with playful samples, eclectic pop, and lo-fi electronics. The group also added multimedia and performance art elements to their live shows, which often featured support from like-minded acts such as the Need. More
<img src="www.antville.org"align="left" hspace="3">Murcof is the latest musical project by Tijuana, Mexico-based Fernando Corona. Influenced mainly, but not exclusively, by classical and electronic minimalism, Murcof works primarily with orchestral samples, processing the sound sources into new textures and fusing them with microscopic sounds and rhythms. The end result consists of lush layers of atmosphere and beat-driven landscapes -- a multi-tonal palette that brings to life deep, gray worlds in which an introspective mood always pervades. Conceived at the beginning of 2001, Murcof runs parallel with Terrestre, a musical project of the Nortec collective. More
