Richard Chartier
Interreferences
Boomkat Product Review:
Ultra-minimalist explorations of space, tone and the act of listening itself, from ever-perceptive Angeleño, Richard Chartier (Pinkcourtesyphone), who typically lurks at the threshold of the listening experience.
Appearing one year on from his digital album with longtime accomplice William Basinski, Chartier is left to his own devices here with signature, beguiling results that fascinate the ears as only tends to. The title ‘Interreferences’ succinctly defines his interest in music at its broadest and most specific, with what is perhaps the most enchanting definition of his intentions to “explore the inter-relationships between the spatial nature of sound, silence, focus, perception, and the act of listening itself.” We’re sure that my of you are well aware and appreciative of Chartier’s role as a key modern minimalist, but if you’re new to his work, and/or perhaps growing tired of “ambient” music’s limits, you would do very well to check in here for a portal to other vital planes of atmospheric music.
The six part, hour long work arrives in the wake of the artist’s 50th birthday, and finds him pondering fundamental, even existentialist, questions about his work. “Why these sounds? What is the attraction to these sounds? How did I arrive at these compositions and their placements?” While we haven;t got the answers, we can comment that the purpose and meaning of Chartier’s music, to us at least, still beckons the mind to rarified headspaces, suggesting a slowing or calming of time and expansion of personal space that encourages thoughts to occur in a way so much other music doesn’t. It’s a music of presence and inference that will sound different to each user, and from day to day, and feels like a sort of sacred invisible mountain that one doesn’t climb but rather circles from the base.
