Autechre
Chiastic Slide
Autechre are an English electronic music duo consisting of Rob Brown and Sean Booth, both natives of Rochdale, Greater Manchester. Formed in 1987, they are one of the most prominent acts signed to Warp Records, a label known for its pioneering electronic music and through which all Autechre albums have been released.While heavily associated with IDM (intelligent dance music), Booth and Brown are ambivalent to relating their sound to established genres. Their music has exhibited a gradual shift in aesthetic throughout their career, from their earlier work with clear roots in techno, electro and hip hop to later albums that are often considered experimental in nature, featuring complex patterns of rhythm and subdued melodies. Oversteps, their most recent album, was released in early 2010.FILM:

RanXerox - Tamburini/Liberatore
Ranxerox is a science fiction graphic novel series by Stefano Tamburini and Tanino Liberatore, two Italian artists who had worked on such magazines as Cannibale and Frigidaire. Conceived as a bizarre anti-hero, Ranxerox was a mechanical creature made from Xerox photocopier parts.The name was at the beginning Rank Xerox, like the joint venture between the Xerox Corporation of U.S. and the Rank Organisation of UK, which manufacture and market Xerox equipment in Europe. Later Tamburini changed to Ranxerox due to a threatened lawsuit by Rank Xerox for the trademark. "Rank Xerox" was first published in 1978 in Cannibale magazine and later, as "Ranxerox", in Frigidaire magazine (1980). The first time "Ranxerox" was published in English was in the July 1983 issue of Heavy Metal. Many more issues of Heavy Metal and novels followed (such as "Ranxerox in America"). The artist uses Pantone pens to create his unique style of art.
