_______________________________________________________________________
Richard Chartier's sound installation and recorded pieces
evoke a state of aural awareness. Working with a variety of
minimal structures and refined sound sources, Chartier has
been responsible for some of the most austere audio works of
recent years. Aesthetically refined and creatively provocative
much of his work has focused on the edges of perception, both
in frequency range and amplitude.
On Current, his latest work to be released in conjunction with
his performances in Australia and Japan in late 2006, Chartier
offers a multilayered sound field. Shimmering high tones
filter amid a clouded layer of dense audio mist - across the
20 minutes, he creates a potent journey through crisp yet warm
sound textures, metered pulses and spacious stereo field.
The piece is thematically linked to the idea of travel by
airplane - the disassociation of time and location - air
currents above and the oceanic currents below.
