Richard Chartier

The Profile

American sound artist working with minimalism, microsound, field recordings and ambient textures.

Reviews on DeBaser describe Chartier's work as employing musique concrète techniques, microtonal drones, field recordings and extreme reduction; his pieces often explore silence, repetition and subtle micro-variations.

Two poetic reviews (both 4/5) on DeBaser praise Chartier's austere, microsound-driven approach. They highlight field recordings, microtonal drones and a reductionist 'non-music' aesthetic. The writing frames his pieces as introspective explorations of memory and silence.
