Radere is the nom du plume of Carl Ritger, a writer and sound artist currently working out of Boulder, CO. Inspired by the notions of stasis and chance, he has explored the fusion of acoustic sound sources and digital processing techniques since 2003, releasing works for a range of labels, including Full Spectrum, Rural Colours, Moodgadget and basic_sounds, among others. Largely avoiding synthesis in favor of organic loops and live instrumentation, Ritger's work blurs guitars, cassette recordings and electronics into a densely textured wash of sound, burnished with carefully sculpted distortions and location recordings.
