WILLIAM BASINSKI & RICHARD CHARTIER
Divertissment
The minimalist mavens remerge for their 3rd collaborative album of spectral tape loops and electronics following 'Untitled' (2004) and 'Aurora Liminalis' (2013).
'Divertissement' arrives in the wake of Basinski's 'Cascade' & 'Deluge' LPs, and Chartier's latest Pinkcourtesyphone call, 'Three Themes', to plumb a sepulchral, metaphysical space existing between their respective projects.
We hear both artists' closely-related signatures - shortwave radio, tape loops, piano and electronics - filtered against and thru each other to form a slow miasma of plasmic bass texture and intangibly diffused chorales that seem to emanate from and drip down the walls, floor and ceiling in a ghostly film of microtonal drones and spiderweb tones.
The feeling of space is enchanting and as intoxicating as an ancient cathedral, lending a sense of archaeoacoustic exploration to its dimensions of buried samples and slow murmuring reverberations that really put us in our place - shut your eyes in headphones and you could be located in any number of sacred or arcane spaces, drifting from vaulted majesty to womb-like quiet and bunkered ambience, choppers flying overhead.
