Next month sees the release of Piers Faccini‘s seventh album ‘Shapes Of The Fall’ from which he has just released his new single, ‘All Aboard’, also featuring Ben Harper and Abdelkebir Merchane (listen here).
A British-Italian artist with a career spanning twenty years, I’ve been familiar with Piers Faccini’s work since 2006 when I used to feature his music on Folk Radio’s then 24-hour radio stream with tracks from the likes of Tearing Sky which also featured Ben Harper. Since then, I’ve enjoyed his numerous collaborations with the likes Dawn Landes and Vincent Seagal to lesser-known artists such as the Brazilian singer and songwriter and gifted cellist Dom. Outside of the personal and the collaborative he has also introduced us to some incredible and unique voices such as Gnut, TUi MAMAKi, and Horsedreamer via his Beating Drum record label.
In a new documentary series titled “Songs of Earth and Sky” we gain an insight into his work and creative process in relation to this new album. Filmed and directed by Timothée Hilst, an episode is revealed each week via his Youtube Channel.
Watch the first two below:
Episode 1 – “They’ll gather no seed”
Episode 2 – “Foghorn calling”
