EDITION 2: 500
Series is the 4th solo full length cd by minimal sound
artist/composer Richard Chartier. Created over an 8 month period
Series and employing soft hushed almost imperceptible high
frequencies and bursts and staticy quiet low shifting tones... the
works explore an implied silence that is not silent. a quietness that
belies the activity and energy of the sounds. cyclical, meticulously
subtle structured, vaguely atmospheric digital compositions. meant to
be experienced at low volumes or on headphones.
For Series, Chartier was awarded one of twelve Honorable Mentions in
the category of Digital Music by the prestigious PRIX ARS
ELECTRONICA, 2001 (Linz, Austria).
Richard Chartier, minimal sound artist/composer, painter and graphic
designer, has recorded critically acclaimed solo recordings for
Trente Oiseaux (Germany), LINE (USA), Meme (Japan), Fallt (Ireland),
Microwave (The Netherlands) and Intransitive Recordings (USA) as well
collaborative works with Nosei Sakata (*0) and Taylor Deupree on 12k
(USA).
His work has been featured on a number of international compilations
including this year's Clicks & Cuts 2 (Mille Plateaux, Germany) and
in Computer Music Journal in conjunction with the essay "The
Aesthetics of Failure: Post-Digital Tendencies in Contemporary
Computer Music" by Kim Cascone (MIT Press, USA). His work explores
the relationship between sound, silence and the act of listening.
Both his visual and sound works have been exhibited in many galleries
and artspaces including the Corcoran Gallery of Art (Washington, DC)
and Washington Project for the Arts Projectspace. Over the past
several years, he has been invited to perform his sound work at live
events in the United States, Canada, and the UK including such noted
international electronic music festivals as MUTEK (Montreal),
Lovebytes (Sheffield) and Transmissions (Chicago). With Taylor
Deupree, he founded the recording label LINE in 2000, as a
subdivision of 12k focusing new, digital, minimalist sound art.
