Album FR 2015 on Beating Drum label
Pop, Folk, World and
Notes from Piers Faccini website: «On April the 18th and exclusively for Record Store Day, my label Beating Drum will be releasing four new songs in a limited edition 12″ vinyl with album artwork that I made using lino-cut prints. This limited edition 12 inch vinyl features four original compositions recorded especially for Record Store Day. Inspired by the different traditions of work songs worldwide, the songs recreate the call of voices rising in unison to the beat of a hammer or to the syncopated grinding of grain on the threshing floor. In work songs rhythm is the hand clap that keeps time to the crash of an axe or the thud of a pestle on a stone mortar. Inspired as much by Southern Mediterranean vocal traditions as those of African American origins, these four new compositions showcase Faccini’s customary and original music without frontiers. Released on Beating Drum, artwork for the 12 inch was made using original lino cuts by Piers Faccini.»
