A recent collaboration with Richard Chartier, is a fascinating assemblage of skeletal beats, oscillating high-frequency squeals, snakey bass tones, clouds of hiss, echoey decay, and disintegrating electronic bleeps-which on “Specification.Three” sound like drops of water sizzling on a hot skillet. These elements form and develop in loose patterns; they’re not amorphous by any stretch, but close listening is required to make sense of the din.
