Buttercup Metal Polish

Buttercup Metal Polish is the percussion duo of Alexandre Babel and Nicolas Field, both on drums and percussion. The musicians have worked together since 2002.

Creative Sources documents the duo on 50 Ballets (CS061) and on Brain & Balls BBQ (CS176), a collaboration with pianist Jacques Demierre recorded in Japan.

Their two-percussionist formation explores the interplay of rhythm and unexpected timbres, using the full range of surfaces, resonances and gestures of the drum kit.
