Commissions I

It is a collection of three tracks Lopatin commissioned for art pieces, films and live performance events: "Music for Steamed Rocks," "Meet Your Creator," and "I Only Have Eyes For You.

[3] Fact magazine critic Maya Kalev analyzed the track to have equal amounts of the style of Lopatin's releases on the labels Software and Editions Mego before 2012 and that of R Plus Seven (2013), which is one of the EP's several "markers that suggest Lopatin’s shift from the texturally dense, emotionally stirring albums on Software and Editions Mego to the sheeny plastic surfaces and spacious compositions of R Plus Seven.

"[5] Kalev writes the track consists of "melodic lines" circling around the song, drone synthesizer sounds, and choirs that "overlap and twist, building or subsiding quite unexpectedly.

"[4] He wrote that "The palette Lopatin is working with is so limited, each element cushioned by so much space, that the precise points at which synth line, choir and pearly countermelody intersect are just as compelling as the timbres themselves.

"[7] The final track on Commissions I is what Kean described as an ominous and disordered[6] cover of Harry Warren and Al Dubin's "I Only Have Eyes For You," (7:20)[1] created for Doug Aitken's Happening installation event held in 2012 at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden.

[3][2] Robert Beatty was responsible for the EP's cover art,[2] which was featured on a column titled Record Sleeves of the Month by magazine Creative Review.

"Music for Steamed Rocks" is an interpretation of a piece by Polish composer Witold Lutosławski .
