Derek Monypeny And Kevin Corcoran - Abacomancy (LP)

Guitarist Derek Monypeny and drummer Kevin Corcoran join forces on Abacomancy, a 2025 release that pushes free improvisation into bold and unpredictable territory. Across six numbered tracks, the duo moves fluidly between high-energy intensity and deeply immersive drone-based passages, creating a listening experience that defies easy categorization. Magnet Magazine named it Essential New Music, praising how the music takes you "someplace that doesn't exist."

What sets Abacomancy apart is the remarkable synergy between its two players — Corcoran brings a highly sympathetic, textural approach to the quieter moments, while Monypeny, whose free-improv guitar work has been rarely documented on record, delivers a wide gamut of sounds and dynamics that elevate the album far beyond a typical free-blowing session. Highlights like the sprawling "Abacomancy Part 5" build dense, slowly shifting drones alongside percussive textures that feel more like environmental presence than rhythm, making this a genuinely transportive listen for fans of experimental and free jazz.
