Scintillating, alchemical kosmische; visionary, deep, and luminous; and beautifully sleeved, with gold foiling and silver ink. On »Works in Metal« Fofana fans out acid treatments and finely sharpened blades: sounds melted down and forged like liquid metal. Paired pieces such as »Arc’s Blue Flame« or »Obscure Light (Decomposition/Recomposition)« reveal volatility, resonance, and a prismatic point of view. At its heart lies the extended »Lure of the Fragment / So Another Sound Suggests Itself«, layered with synths and field recordings. A narrative album, tributing Suzanne Césaire’s 1943 prophecy of transformation through the welding arc’s blue flame.
