Long Read Memories

by Whettman Chelmets

supported by

use2alone This album contains dark sounds with blend of field recordings and experimental to serve different nuances, from spacy to eerie. "The Devil DoubleCrossed You" is a sample of where the real source of horror come from. It's really give me a goosebumps! Thank you so much! Favorite track: The Devil DoubleCrossed You.

Steve Hadfield Rich textured ambience with a powerful emotive core. Undoubtedly my favourite release to date from Mr Chelmets. Favorite track: Miller v. Alabama.

Elizabeth Joan Kelly A chilling exploration of grief and catharsis; highly moving. Favorite track: Longread Memories Separated by Concrete.

________________________________________________

Culled from various recording sessions from around 2000 to now, I pen a letter to childhood's end and the scars and catharsis carried into adulthood.

My brother was arrested for murder in 1987. He was 17. I was 9. It was a singular event that triggered so many concentric circles of pain around so many people. He has grown. He is almost 50 now. He has facilitated the healing and dialogue of victims of crime with offenders. He is a Buddhist. He is still a juvenile life without parole offender, regardless of US Supreme Court rulings to the unconstitutionality of this sentence without consideration of age. We talk on Saturdays. We write. We share music and shows we are watching. I enjoy these talks.

But I struggle with this pain and this anger and this sense of injustice about everything. I work to make myself whole. This is a chronicle of that, utilizing field recordings of the events in question, media samples, and my own playing and arranging. It's a challenge to share, but something I must do. If you made it this far, thank you.
