Richard Chartier
Richard Chartier (born March 29, 1971 in Arlington, Virginia, USA) is a sound/installation artist and graphic designer. Chartier works in reductionist microsound electronic music, a form of extreme minimalism in which the music is sometimes very quiet, sometimes very sparse, often both.
About
Since 1998, Chartier has created recordings for labels such as LINE (USA), Raster-Noton (Germany), Die Stadt (Germany), Spekk (Japan), 12k (US) Mutek rec (Canada), DSP (Italy), and ERS (NL), Trente Oiseaux (Germany), and Fallt (Ireland), Intransitive (USA), including collaborations with artists Taylor Deupree, William Basinski, CoH, *0, Kim Cascone, and Asmus Tietchens and has appeared on numerous international electronic music and sound art compilations. Chartier's minimalist digital work explores the inter-relationships between the spatial nature of sound, silence, focus, perception and the act of listening itself.
