About this release

Influenced by minimalism and jazz blues, the piano duets present an exciting mix of driving rhythms contrasted by lyrical writing. Hugh Shrapnel’s compelling narrative stems from London and its history, whereas John Lewis’ chemical elements are used to create highly reactive, even explosive music.
