Direct.Incidental.Consequential (1998)
by RICHARD CHARTIER
supported by 57 fans who also own “Cistern”
An essential work! Since being introduced to Richard's Art years ago, I must credit him for showing me how to hear differently. Whether it is daily sounds of life, music or Sound Art, I have a greater appreciation for the micro details and nuances that sounds bring. Consider this classic album with headphones (a must) and Richard's other rewarding works (and as PINKCOURTESYPHONE).

Divertissement
by WILLIAM BASINSKI + RICHARD CHARTIER
supported by 51 fans who also own “Cistern”
Our bodies are thrown into the void, in a dimension between dimensions where the laws of physics don't apply. Space and time bend, unfold, stretch and collapse endlessly ; taking advantage of this situation, we catch hints of broken transmissions and shattered fragments of time, erratically drifting in this hallucinatory area. Even if the artist's collaboration still shines the most in their previous Aurora Liminalis, Divertissement offers an enjoyable falsely still life out of this world.

A Hesitant Fold (1999)
by RICHARD CHARTIER
supported by 49 fans who also own “Cistern”
I regularly imbibe pure frequency-substance from Mr. Chartier, having collected a number of his recordings, and this is one of my favorite ones. So lyrical and...apt... are all the little parts and pieces. Everything has never been in this much of a right place. Considered sound, concise statement, well-met communique. One of those special records that is just as much music as it isn't, and continues to be there for me when disconnection is paramount. Thank you, Mr. Chartier.
