New Discovery Series from Beating Drum: Italian singer-songwriter Gnut

Hear My Voice is a new project being launched by Piers Faccini‘s label Beating Drum which aims to give a platform to a select group of new and exciting artists the label encounters. Each EP, beautifully conceived by house designer Uncle O will feature a portrait of the artist drawn by Piers Faccini. The first releases will feature three distinct voices, Tui Mamaki, Gnut and Horsedreamer.

First in the series is the four-track EP from the fabulous Gnut, the voice of Claudio Domestico, one of the finest young contemporary Italian singer-songwriters. Gnut has released several albums in Italy, including the 2009 Rumore della Luce, produced by Piers Faccini but until now his beautiful songwriting has not been heard outside of his homeland. These four new songs were written in his Napoletano dialect and they were recorded at the end of 2017 in Faccini’s studio near his home in the Cevennes.
