Richard Chartier's Pinkcourtesyphone is an emotionally grounded project that presents a more musical side of his artist work. Dark but not arch with a slight hint of humor, the project is amorphous, changing, and slipping in and out of consciousness. Operating like a syrup-y dream, this sounds strives to be both elegant and detached.
Beyond Pinkcourtesyphone, Richard Chartier is 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.
