Biografía
- Richard Chartier (b.1971) is a Los Angeles based artist, considered one of the key figures in minimalist sound art.Chartier’s works explore the inter-relationships between the spatial nature of sound, silence, focus, perception, and the act of listening itself. Chartier’s critically acclaimed sound works have been published since 1998 on a variety of labels internationally including Room40 (Australia), Editions Mego (Austria), Important Records (US), Ash International (UK), Raster-Noton (Germany), Spekk (Japan), Trente Oiseaux (Germany), NVO (Austria), Farmacia901 (Italy), 12k (US), and his own imprint LINE (US). He has collaborated with composer William Basinski, sound artists ELEH, CoH, France Jobin, Robert Curgenven, Taylor Deupree, AGF, and Yann Novak, and German electronic music pioneer Asmus Tietchens. In installation form, he has created works with multimedia artists Evelina Domnitch and Dmitry Gelfand, visual artist Linn Meyers, and projected light artist Anthony McCall. Under his guise Pinkcourtesyphone, an ambient project restarted in 2012, he has collaborated with Cosey Fanni Tutti, Kid Congo Powers, harpist Gwyneth Wentink, AGF, and thereminist Evelina Domnitch. Chartier’s sound works/installations have been presented in museums and galleries internationally including the Whitney Biennial and the influential sound art exhibit Sounding Spaces at NTT/ICC in Tokyo. His performances have occurred live across Europe, Japan, Australia, and North America. Since 2000, Chartier has curated his influential recording label LINE, publishing nearly 100 editions documenting the compositional and installation work of international sound and video artists who explore the aesthetics of contemporary and digital minimalism. + Chartier (often as Pinkcourtesyphone) began DJing in 1991. His sets can be an eclectic mix, ranging from mid-20th century analog-ica, to post punk synth oddities, to ambient soundscapes, to lounge-y reverberations, to contemporary electronica. Ponderous beats, melodies, and noise nonchalantly mixed into a flowing soundtrack for you, your cocktail, and your inner ear.̸2017 Indelicate Slices (as Pinkcourtesyphone) / Room40, Australia / CD A Ravishment of Mirror (as Pinkcourtesyphone) / Thoughtforms, UK / 2LP Removed / Ash International, UK / CD Something you are… or something you do (as Pinkcourtesyphone) / The Tapeworm, UK / cassette LINELEH II by Eleh + Richard Chartier / LINE, US / digital LINELEH I by Eleh + Richard Chartier / LINE, US / digital Talking the Pleasure Out of It (as Pinkcourtesyphone) / Champion Version, UK / 10″ vinyl 2016 taking into account only a portion of your emotions (as Pinkcourtesyphone) / Editions MEGO, Austria / CD Elision (as Pinkcourtesyphone & Gwyneth Wentink) / Farmacia901, Italy / CDep 2015 Divertissement with William Basinski / Important, US / LP Sentimental Something as Pinkcourtesyphone / Important, US / LP Three Themes (as Pinkcourtesyphone) / LINE_Segments, US / digital 2014 Description of Problem (as Pinkcourtesyphone) / LINE_Segments / CD Subsequent Materials (2006-2012) / LINE / digital A Ravishment of Mirror (as Pinkcourtesyphone) / Dragon’s Eye Recordings / CD 2013 Foley Folly Folio (as Pinkcourtesyphone) / Dragon’s Eye Recordings / CD / Boomkat, UK / vinyl LP Please Pick Up (as Pinkcourtesyphone) + Kid Congo Powers + reworks / IO Sound, Canada / CD Interior Field / LINE, US / CD Undefined by Yann Novak + Richard Chartier / Farmacia901, Italy / CD Aurora Liminalis by William Basinski + Richard Chartier / LINE, US / CD 2012 Reflected Themes (as Pinkcourtesyphone) / Superior Standards / lathe cut 7″ Recurrence / LINE, US / CD Elegant & Detached (as Pinkcourtesyphone) / Room40, Australia / CD Built Through with Robert Curgenven / LINE, US / CD Foley Folly Folio (as Pinkcourtesyphone) / LINE, US / CD 2011 Untitled Tapes: 1991-1993/ 3particles, US / digital edition Transparency (Performance) / LINE, US / CD 2010 Fabrication 2 (with Asmus Tietchens) / Auf Abwegen, Germany / 2CD Fields for Mixing / Room40, Australia / CD 2009 Untitled(Angle.1) / NVO, Austria / CD 2008 Further Materials / LINE, US / CD Untitled 1-3 ( with William Basinski ) / LINE, US / CD Absence / 3particles, US / CD 2007 Fabrication ( with Asmus Tietchens ) / Die Stadt, Germany / CD Incidence / Raster-Noton, Germany / CD 2006 Current / Room40, Australia / CD Specification.Fifteen ( with Taylor Deupree ) / LINE, US / CD Levels(Inverted) / LINE, US / CD Reflect What You Are / 3particles, US CD 2005 Tracing / NVO, Austria / CD Retrieval 1-5 / ERS, The Netherlands / LP + CD Live in Los Angeles (as Chessmachine with CoH) / LINE, US / CD RE’POST’POSTFABRICATED / DSP, Italy / 2CD Opening Coccyx / Die Schactel, Italy / CD + Art edition A Field for Recordings.1 / 3particles, US / CD 2004 Edition / LINE, US / 4CD Set or Performance / LINE, US / CD Chessmachine ( with CoH ) / Mutek_rec, Canada / CD William Basinski + Richard Chartier / Spekk, Japan / CD 2003 Archival1991 / Crouton Recordings, US / CD Overview / 3particles, US / CD Two Locations / LINE, US / CD 2002 Other Materials / 3particles, US / CD Direct.Incidental.Consequential Edition 2 / 3particles, US / CD Varied ( as 0/r with Nosei Sakata, Japan) / 12k, US / CD 3_components / Fusebox, Washington, DC / CD of surfaces / LINE, US / CD After (with Kim Cascone + Taylor Deupree) / 12k, US / CD 2001 decisive forms / Trente Oiseaux, Germany / CD 2000 typeof / Fällt, Ireland / 3″CD series / LINE, US / CD 1999 SPEC.
