Fabrication 2

Description

Fabrication 2 is the sequel to Fabrication, the first collaboration between Richard Chartier and Asmus Tietchens released in 2007. Whereas for the first collab the idea developed from the project around reinterpretations of Chartier’s Postfabricated this time the efforts were directly focused on the reinterpretation of specific basic sound material. This basic sound material can be found on the first disc in the set “Prefabrication 2” which was constructed by Richard Chartier alone in Montreal and Washington, DC. “Fabrication 2” is the reworking of this sonic basis by Asmus Tietchens. Whereas the first CD has traces of subtle dematerialized rhythmic structures the second disc is a study in minimalism and concentrated sound manipulation.

Asmus Tietchens has been producing electronic music since the 1960’s and is one of the most renowned sound artists today in Germany. In the last five years he was awarded twice the SWR state radio prize “Karl Sczuka Preis” for radio art. He has released more than 80 records and CDs on labels all around the world.
