12k is proud to announce:

TAYLOR DEUPREE & RICHARD CHARTIER: "SPEC."

12k1007
edition: 500
genre: experimental / microscopic
file: 12k / deupree / chartier
packaging: matte stock cardboard gatefold w/ printing

taylor deupree (making his first full-length cd appearance since 1998's
"tower of winds" (with savvas ysatis)) and richard chartier (with releases
on 12k, meme, microwave, and intransitive) collaborate for the first time
in creating the highly intricate and unique "SPEC."

with infinitesimal drops of synthetic sound woven in minimal, cell-like
structures, "SPEC." delves into the molecular world of DSP programming
combining richard's signature quiet, glassy textures and taylor's
synthetics in the granulation and recombination of software generated audio
files. the sonic result is a highly rhythmic, transluscent sound; tiny
fragments through high pass filters, edge-smoothing curves and other tone
shaping algorithms.

the collaboration was started by taylor and richard each generating basic
sound files for source material, then exchanging the files allowing each to
work on pieces based on the sounds and aesthetics of the others creations.
after this stage the project moved to taylor's new york studio, the
aquasphere, where tracks and elements were compiled, remixed and additional
compositions were created together and the album assembled and completed.

specification . a blueprint . a speck.

taylor deupree runs 12k and records for a variety of electronic labels. he
recently took part in two remix projects: kim cascone¹s blue cubism to be
released on digital narcis (japan) and goem¹s extensie cd on noise museum
