Refine by Whettman Chelmets
Sorting some odds and ends going into the new year. No particular connection with any of the tracks. More an EP of ideas that didnt land elsewhere and and some other sketches found elsewhere. Three long form tracks and 3 shorter, acoustic ideas.
"Refine" started as a loop process in 2020, taking a single note in C, adding a note by chance, occasionally out of key, and stretching it out for 20:00. A work in patience and seeing how slowly I can turn one knob.
"Stalks" was originally commissioned for Submarine Broadcast Company's Soundtrack to andrei tarkovsky's Stalker, released last year.

"Vesnianky" was written in February of 2022. A very noisy track based around a Ukrainian spring song.
"Fallen Footsteps" was part of Brad Rose's Clarities compilation, released in May:

"Changed My Mind" is the B-side from the same release. Written as a song for the For sessions in 2020. Based around a song I wrote in 2008.
