Eventual

Los Angeles-based sound artist, composer and LINE imprint curator Richard Chartier returns to 901 Editions with Eventual, his first solo album for the label. This work follows two collaborations with fellow American artist Yann Novak (Undefined, 2013), and Dutch harpist Gwyneth Wentink as Pinkcourtesyphone (Elision, 2016). Eventual probes the nuanced interrelations between sound and silence, engaging audiences in attentive listening and a heightened sense of spatial and temporal perception. Chartier shapes a terrain of vanishing tones and subtle variations, a quiet tension that dwells within sound’s slow unfolding.

Mastered by Giuseppe Ielasi.
Design + photography by Fabio Perletta.

Reviews

“Eventual” delves even deeper into the realms of minimalism and auditory perception that Chartier has long explored as a sound artist. A sense of quiet tension, built through fading notes, subtle transformations, and slow development, gently permeates the album, naturally demanding careful and attentive listening, focusing on the subtle relationships between sound and space.
