PREMIERE • Gavelman - Ashes In The Wind [Dead Channel Records]

Whettman Chelmets shares a stunning dense mix of self-reflective music culled mostly from his personal Bandcamp collection. We recently reviewed his latest work, Long Read Memories, an affective synthesis between the personal context and the formal expression found in the music, and were eager to learn more about his influences and process.

The eight tracks which comprise Long Read Memories were recorded between 2000 and 2018, a process the artist describes as penning "a letter to childhood's end and the scars and catharsis carried into adulthood." These recordings chronicle his decades long attempts to come to terms with a childhood trauma: when Chelmets was his a child, his older brother was arrested for murder, and is still incarcerated as a "juvenile life without parole offender, regardless of US Supreme Court rulings to the unconstitutionality of this sentence without consideration of age." Long Read Memories directly foregrounds these biographical aspects in the form of  field recordings of the events in question and media samples integrated with the artists playing and arrangements. He describes this as "something [he] must do," an expressive outlet, for catharsis, perhaps as a ritual, or perhaps just because.



Here at ACL, we have always loved discovering lesser-heard works, and find it important to encourage everyone to make art and express themselves in whatever way they are able. For most of human history, the social context of musicking (a necessarily active process prior to recording) made listeners active contributors; singing, playing, dancing. For all that music-as-studio-art enables, the commodification of music in the form of physical recordings becomes much more of an economy of scarcity and relatively passive contemplation. Of course there are many of us who make music for the same reason that Whettman Chelmets describes above. Something I really appreciate about Bandcamp, as a longtime supporter of DIY music, is that the platform makes it possible for such cathartic labor of love and self-reflection to circulate, resonating with the right listeners. That's how I've come to hear Thoughts that Linger and Thoughts that Stab, which weaves together a myriad of personal expressions into a dense, wandering mix of meaningful music making.

Whettman Chelmets presents 'Thoughts that Linger and Thoughts that Stab' [mix]

Since 2012, A Closer Listen has claimed a specialized niche in the music industry: instrumental album reviews!  By concentrating on this above all else (singles, videos, concerts, interviews, lyric albums, announcements), we’ve built a healthy fanbase and a strong reputation.

If music is recorded and nobody listens, does it still make a sound?
