Polyvalent Creativity is a new CD release on Confront Recordings featuring free improvisation by bassist Dominic Lash on electric guitar and percussionist Mark Wastell on drums and percussion.
The album comprises four tracks: "Potential," "Commitment," "Activation," and "Fulfilment," blending jazz improvisation with rich, textural soundscapes. Reviews highlight its unconventional approach, starting with tuning-like sounds that evolve into emotionally resonant free jazz.
Critics praise the duo's limited instrumentation for creating dense, captivating sonic depth, with one track evoking tears through its beauty. Released January 29, 2026, it arrives in a factory-pressed CD with a matte card sleeve.
