As a result of the pandemic, three Atlanta artists, each noted for their experimental improvisatory performances — Klimchak, Frank Schultz and Scott Burland — have generously decided that the proceeds from Bandcamp sales of their latest digital albums, Six Feet Apart and Halocline, will go to assist their colleagues through a pair of local charities that offer help to local musicians and food service workers in times of crisis.

A collaboration album between Klimchak and Schultz, Six Feet Apart, was released Monday and is available from the Bandcamp pages of both Klimchak and Duet for Theremin and Lap Steel (Burland and Schultz). DfTaLS’s Halocine album is posted in pre-order status, with the complete album becoming available for download via their Bandcamp site on Saturday, May 16th. The opening track, “Maelstrom,” which features features Dane Waters as guest vocalist. can be streamed now.

All of the proceeds generated via Bandcamp for both albums will benefit the Atlanta Musicians’ Emergency Relief Fund (AMERF) and Giving Kitchen . AMERF exists in order to provide emergency aid to deserving professional musicians from among Atlanta’s musical community. Giving Kitchen provides emergency assistance to food service workers through financial support and a network of community resources.
