*100 copies limited edition* Confront Recordings proudly unveils Metalurgia, a riveting new duet recording from Irish drummer Francis Comyn and pianist Adam Fairhall. Captured several improvisation, this album forges a sonic metallurgy where acoustic strings clash and meld with the elastic breath of bellows, yielding a dense alloy of texture, tension, and unforeseen resonance.
Comyn's percussive work interlocks with Fairhall's piano expanses and interventions. The result is a living forge: metallic timbres erupt into buoyant swells, gritty friction yields to ethereal drones, and fleeting motifs spark like molten sparks. Far from mere reductionism, Metalurgia pulses with an organic vitality, evoking the raw alchemy of early free improvisation while charting bold new terrain.
