Richard Chartier, sound artist, is considered one of the key figures in the current of reductionist electronic sound which has been termed both “microsound” and Neo-Modernist. Chartier’s minimalist digital work explores the inter-relationships between the spatial nature of sound, silence, focus, perception and the act of listening itself. He has run the label LINE since 2000 publishing sound and video art editions focused on minimalism. He is also Pinkcourtesyphone.

Top Five

1. Chee Shimizu “Obscure Sound” book – I was at a friend’s house and saw this ridiculous Japanese record guide lying around and ordered it off Amazon Japan immediately. A bible of spiritual, floating, bizarre music. My roommate, a folk hero in his own right, compiled the hundreds of amazing entries into a YouTube playlist. Years of enjoyment even if the damn thing is in Japanese.

2. Highland Park – I’m the latest idiot to discover this neighborhood, but what I like about is that I can stumble into Super A at 11:00 AM and not feel like I’ve intruded on a private Yoga/Prius cult. (eg. Traderjoevia.) Honorable mention Huraches Azteca, Jugos, Estrella, Mount Analog, Truechord Sound Systems.

3. Suzanne Kraft – Talk From Home      pumpkin82     12 hrs 6 mins ago     Reply  There’s an “ambient/balearic/azy (sic)/gentle/elegant” overdose on this year’s album poll. Maybe it should have been called “Albums that we’ve played a lot as background music in RA office because they sound nice and don’t bother us while working”

4. Lena Willikens – Best DJ in the world, hipped me to #1, took me to A-Music in Cologne, told me about other great artists like Inga Mauer and Borusiade. Hopefully 2016 brings the boss back to LA.

5. Hot Mass – Played this Pittsburgh afterhours, located in a gay bathhouse, with my friend Damon Palermo back in January. Best club in the country. That’s all I have to say about that.

Amanda Siegel is a visual artist and experimental filmmaker. If you’ve attended a Mount Analog event in the last 2 years, you’ve probably seen her video work. A diehard Angeleno and former Mount Analog employee, Amanda prefers old stuff but maintains optimism for the future of music.

9 Picks from 2014 Because Fuck 101) Ninos Du Brasil – Novos Misterios [April 28th 2014]

Start to finish – relentless percussive Batucada Techno – primal jungle spirit visions of Gaea, the Goddess and Mother Earth delivered sonically betwixt staccato punk vocal exhortations.  Delicate and minimal yet simultaneously ferocious – Their deadly rhythm teleports me to another plane wherein I’m dressed in armor made of twigs, leaves, and adorning my face for battle with paint made from rare berries.  Hospital Productions.

2) DJ Punisher (Delroy Edwards) – Untitled [July 8th 2014]

Three of the most violent and menacing dance floor destroyers I’ve heard in years.  Overdriven and unforgiving: no quarter, none are safe.  I never judge a record by its cover but even the art and aesthetic warn you that Delroy is out for blood.  Slugs to the chest.  Sixteen in the clip and one in the hole. A chainsaw – shredding its way through every bar stool and every avenue, pulsing defiantly.  Either killing dance floors or infecting them, these beats don’t care.  They exist for only one purpose – destruction.  LA Club Resource.

3) Andy Stott – Faith In Strangers [November 17th 2014]

Subliminal.  Haunting drums, exceptional bass lines and an overall feeling of vulnerability – Alison Skidmore’s vocals are chilling.  Easily Stott’s best work to date – in these compositions he’s found a way to create something not only dissonant and melancholy but also quite warm and nostalgic.  Modern Love.

4) Youth Code – A Place To Stand EP [September 23rd 2014]

A cacophony of sampled construction noises, analog synthesizers and raging, politically inspired vocals.  Featuring four amazing remixes of previous tracks from heavy hitters Sanford Parker, clipping., God Module, and Silent Servant – “A Place To Stand” is more than just “shitty punk kids making industrial” (Ryan George / Sara Taylor); It’s a call to arms.  Dais Records.

5) An-I – Kino-I EP [January 27th 2014]

The Kino-I EP is the first release of Douglas Lee under the alias An-i.  A departure from Lee’s previous works which mostly centered on modern disco and house, Kino-I is a destructive experiment in techno, industrial, noise and ear shattering EBM.  Arpeggiated and noisey, with modular electronics & pressed onto beautiful translucent yellow vinyl – this album is like a hand grenade on the dance floor.  His follow up EP “Gutz” just out in November is an amazing follow up, but this is the starting point; crucial and devastatingly beautiful.  Cititrax.

6) SHXCXCHCXSH – Linear S Decoded [September 9th 2014]

Heavy, austere and incredibly sexy dark techno from anonymous Swedish duo with an aversion to vowels.  “This Hmming Raverie” is reminiscent of early Crystal Castles without the annoying bites and squeals from Alice Glass.  Meanwhile “The Repelling of the Quantitive Invasion” sounds like a chapter ripped from the pages of The Prodigy’s “Music for the Jilted Generation.”  A sheer brilliant atmospheric yet floor stomping collection of gloomy rave music.  Avian Records.

7) Ital – Endgame [August 26th 2014]

DC Hardcore icon Daniel Martin-McCormick (Black Eyes) – Ital’s “Endgame” LP is a brooding, somber exploration in ambient electronics and Detroit style techno.  “Whispers In The Dark” is chilling and corroded with a snare tone that cuts straight through to the bone.  This Brooklyn based producer and classically trained musician challenges the conventional 4/4 timing of most electronic music and the results are fantastic.  Planet Mu.

8) Damaskin – Unseen Warfare 12” [March 31st 2014]

Noisy, chugging industrial & techno in the vein of Prostitutes.  “Unseen Warfare” delivers  four oscillating and distorted, heavy jams.  “Contra Theatra” unleashes triumphant and face melting bass lines with minimal yet incredibly driving percussion.  Unknown Precept.

9) Jealous God 04 – Broken English Club 12” [April 28th 2014]

Administered and curated by three legends James Ruskin, Juan Mendez and Karl O’Connor – the Jealous God label delivers icy post punk, no wave, industrial and techno bangers.  The Broken English Club 12” is nothing short of phenomenal.
