The first collaboration by these two renowned sound artists. "Fabrication" saw its beginning during the production of Re'Post'Postfabricated; a project in which artists were selected by Richard Chartier to rework / create new works from his 1998 CD "Postfabricated" for its reissue in 2003. Asmus Tietchens continued to explore the source materials and suggested further formal collaboration. This evolved into the collaborative work "Fabrication". "In-keeping with Chartier's best known work, Fabrication observes a reverential proximity to silence, focusing itself at the extremities of the frequency spectrum. The piece opens with a quiet rumble, which although situated at the very lowest end of the range of auditory perception has an oddly light, wafer thin frailty to it. A few minutes in and Tietchens stirs up a blank, indifferent drone that eventually propagates some high frequency particles that shimmer out of the grey vapour. This is pretty intense stuff, requiring patient listening throughout, but the level of detail is quite astonishing" (Boomkat). Digisleeve with artwork by Chartier.
