**Richard Chartier** has posted for free download a track from over half a decade back (its originating material over a decade old), six minutes of everyday noise transformed into glitchy distillates. It’s a track that represents him twice reworking his own music. The story goes as follows. Back in the late 1990s, when microsound — music made from, and expressing the inherent qualities of, low-level noises — was coming into its own, he released an album titled *Postfabricated*. There were, as he tells it, production issues; in particular, he writes, “a studio engineer not accustomed to this type of recorded material compromised the details of the sounds.” He subsequently tried to reconstruct the music from scratch, yielding a collection he titled *Repostfabricated*. And in turn he gave the source material to a slate of musicians and asked them to rework it, yielding *PostPostfabricated*. Among those musicians were **CoH**, **Vend**, **Asmus Tietchens**, **Frank Bretschneider**, **Goem**, **Taylor Deupree**, **Alva Noto**, **Freiband**, **Sogar**, **Byetone**, **Matmos**, **Steve Roden**, and Chartier himself. “Pfiler” is his reworking of his reworking of his own work:
