About this time last year, we shared a mix by Whettman Chelmets, whose most recent tape had made a big impression on us. Whettman Chelmets recently collaborated with Qualchan. on Theme∞Variations for Æscape Sounds, and so it felt like a good moment to invite Qualchan. to produce a mix for our readers as well.
Qualchan. first came to my attention with 2017’s vera’s dream., a hazy exploration of new age tropes. But the project has a deep discography, with the prolific bedroom producer releasing tapes, CD-Rs, and digital releases on a number of labels including No Problema, Strategic Tape Reserve, Czaszka, and especially his own Peradam Tapes. Qualchan. is the project Ryan Durfee, a Seattle-based multi-media artist, animal right’s activist, and a contributor to the excellent podcast Tab’s Out. Ryan has crafted an exquisite mix for deep night contemplation, a soothing salve that so many of us need at this time. It’s our pleasure to share Qualchan.’s a mix of inspiration. Enjoy.
