A Year Ago

Laidu-Rokia Traore

"Close your eyes and let yourself be carried away by this captivating tale of intrigue. Field recordings interwoven with minimalist ambiances and silences. Textures that disturb and create meticulously crafted inflection points. A masterpiece of abstraction and balance, introspection and perception. An exercise in deep listening and auditory training. A sensory honeycomb."

Richard Chartier (@richard-chartier) is a Los Angeles based artist, 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. Chartier's sound works/installations have been presented in galleries and museums internationally and he has performed his work live across Europe, Japan, Australia, and North America at digital art/electronic music festivals and exhibits.

------ about 200

After a few years, we are celebrating—reaching 200, who would have thought! It all started as a happy idea talking with friends from Hausofcolor. "Could we upload the djsets from the parties?" we wondered. And what if we talk to friends from Barcelona to express themselves through music?

Then, with the pandemic, the purpose evolved: to share completely heterogeneous music every week. I aimed to create different dynamics with various lights and concepts. Over time, the channel has been defined in a more specific direction, where the subjective taste has dynamically and tendentially shaped the content. The music featured now can be broadly understood in two main abstract (and very holistic, it must be said) themes. Every week is a surprise. On the other hand, the audience can get a sense of the direction things are heading. There are these two main blocks: one of deep listening, ambient, avant-garde and concrete, minimalism and/or experimental, drone, or more eclectic pieces dedicated to the collector/selector. And another more dedicated to deep beats, at different speeds and rhythms but generally quite horizontal in nature.

I remember dedicating the 100th episode to my fav festival, La Mostra, F-on did a beat djset associated with the sounds you would find in its first edition. For this 200th episode, where La Mostra has now celebrated its third edition, the maestro Richard Chartier has prepared this delight of deep listening without beats. A bit of a summary of the two contexts you can find, broadly speaking, on HOC radio.

A million thanks to all the artists who have shared a story with us every week, and thanks to all of you who follow this channel! Without all of you, nothing would be possible!

I also want to thank: hausofcolor, without whom this would not have started. Additionally, we thank the collectives, festivals, labels, clubs and friends who help or have helped me, like Toni, Jordi, Sara, Anne and, as always, Bualié for the designs. Thanks to all of you!
