Calibrating Friction

Haralabos (Harry) Stafylakis

Calibrating Friction; my debut portrait album – years in the making – represents the culmination of decades of artistic experimentation and music-making. As of this writing; in 2023; it serves as my artistic mission statement and musical manifesto. Calibrating Friction brings together five of my most metal-infused compositions from the past decade and reimagines (recalibrates?) them from this perspective of bone-deep fusion. Originally created as pieces of pure chamber music; to be performed live; in concert; by classical ensembles; they all contained the musical elements of progressive metal in their structures and instrumental writing.
