LINE label head Richard Chartier explores the innermost recesses of silence across three long tracks of hard-drive hum and hiss. While you'll need a good soundsystem to properly hear the nothingness, Chartier's vision of dusted absence is well worth a closer listen.
No, that's not a thirty-second sample of silence you've just listened to. There really is something there. Try it again. You'll need headphones, turned up. It's quiet, and deep. Inaudible pressure between the ears. Blood rushing. Late-night tinnitus in the silence. A throb. Hear it? Hm. They are wonderful pieces. Completely unique. Twenty years ago, I daydreamed of creating music that wasn't audible, was just giant soundless pressures shifting inside a room. And now this thing falls out of the sky, a private, ancient daydream made real. Hm.
