ASMUS TIETCHENS + RICHARD CHARTIER
Fabrication
Boomkat Product Review:
In 2003, Richard Chartier - microsound maestro and co-owner of the influential 12k offshoot label Line - commissioned a number of fellow artists to set about reworking and reinterpreting audio from his 1998 album Postfabricated. Asmus Tietchens was one of the artists involved with that album, and clearly the source materials made an impact on Tietchens, as he's been moved to continue the project to the point of creating a new, full-length piece of music based on Chartier's sounds. In-keeping with Chartier's best known work, Fabrication observes a reverential proximity to silence, focussing itself at the extremities of the frequency spectrum. The piece opens with a quiet rumble, which although situated at the very lowest end of the range of auditory perception has an oddly light, wafer thin frailty to it. A few minutes in and Tietchens stirs up a blank, indifferent drone that eventually propagates some high frequency particles that shimmer out of the grey vapour. This is pretty intense stuff, requiring patient listening throughout, but the level of detail is quite astonishing. Marvellous.
