Richard Chartier, sound/installation artist and graphic designer, has created critically acclaimed recordings for international labels, such as 12k/LINE (USA), among others from Germany, Japan, Canada, Italy, Netherlands and Ireland. He has been collaborating with artists like Taylor Deupree, William Basinski, COH, and *0 and has appeared on numerous international compilations. His digital minimalist work explores the inter-relationships between the spatial nature of sound, silence, focus, and the act of listening. He has performed his work live across Europe, Japan, and North America at digital art/music festivals and at exhibitions, such as 'A Minimal Future? Art as Object 1958-1968' and 'Frequenzen [Hz]' at the Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt.
In 2000 he founded the recording label LINE and since has curated its continuing documentation of compositional and installation work by international sound artists and composers exploring the aesthetics of contemporary and digital minimalism.
