Sketches, Paintings by SOLT (Charity release for Red Cross Ukraine Relief fund)

Sketches, Paintings was initiated by Michael Hartman in late 2020. Bored with making music alone in his basement, he developed four sketches and invited some of his oldest friends and collaborators to develop them into more complete works. The sketch provided the basic shape, from which each collaborator developed their own composition. Many thanks to Boris Hauf, Mott, Neil Jendon, Todd A Carter, Sam Wagster, Gillian Lisée. and Drowned.

The source sketches were released on Kuro Neko Music in March, 2022. They are rooted in techno, or at least that was the intention. It was exciting to hear the varied directions each artist took them, some for the dance floor, others not so much, everyone’s joy and personality shining through. So good he had to put it on a t-shirt…

The t-shirts and production costs have been donated in-kind, all proceeds will go to the German Red Cross to help victims of civil unrest in the Ukraine.
