PIERS FACCINI
Cantautore in bilico tra Londra, Parigi, Napoli e Los Angeles, giunto
al secondo capitolo della sua carriera artistica, dopo la grande accoglienza
riservata a “Leave No Trace” (2004) dalla stampa internazionale.
Piers Faccini conosce e parla molte lingue, ma la sua musica esplora confini ancora più vasti: dal Mississippi alla pizzica, dalla musica del Mali al Folk britannico.
Sin dai primi ascolti in “Tearing Sky” rapisce la voce di Piers, quasi sciamanica e a tratti ipnotica, che coniuga alla perfezione un oceano di suoni ricavati, anche grazie all’aiuto del sapiente JP Plunier (noto per le sue produzioni al fianco di Ben Harper e Jack Johnson) nei Sonora Studios di Los Feliz a Los Angeles.
Il cast dei musicisti di “Tearing Sky“ è stato assemblato nello stesso modo con cui si reclutano gli attori per un film; gli interpreti principali sono Juan Nelson al basso e Adam Topol alla batteria, per formare una sezione ritmica tra le più affiatate e allo stesso tempo raffinate esistenti sulla scena; Ben Harper e Inara George aggiungono le loro voci, Chris Darrow il mandolino e il Maliano Ballakè Sissokò il suo angelico suono di Kora.
Su queste basi Piers ha scritto, composto e cantato tutti i brani, suonando le chitarre, l’“er hu” ( un violino cinese), l’armonica, e l’harmonium.
E’ assai difficile rimanere insensibili alle note di “Tearing Sky”.
Piers Faccini released his first solo album in 2004 to huge critical acclaim in France and much of Europe. The second album, critics said, would tell the tale. "Tearing Sky“, a collection of 14 vibrantly original songs is the confirmation of the musical ambition expressed in “Leave No Trace“.
Piers Faccini: A geography of a thousand melodies, a musical graph in life from London to Paris, from Naples to Los Angeles. Three languages to speak but his music has more tongues. From the Mississipi laments to the trance Pizzica of Southern Italy, from the music of the Malian desert to the haunting tales of English folk.
From the first to the last song, Piers Faccini's voice summons and beckons the listener. Shaman like, his tone soft and hypnotic, entices you to join him in each song. Each musical wave that breaks conjuring a new shore, a different world. Upon this ocean of sound, his voice sets and rises again.
At the helm of the ship stood producer JP Plunier, better known for having brought us Ben Harper and Jack Johnson. With his taste for the essential and his ear tuned into each and every facet of the music, JP provided the perfect foil for Piers's songwriting. Together at Sonora Studios in Los Feliz, LA, twelve intense days sufficed to plot “Tearing Sky“.
JP gathered up his team of musicians on “Tearing sky“ much as a film director chooses his actors.We find Juan Nelson on bass, and Adam Topol on drums forming the core of the rythmn section and appearances in various guises come from Leon Mobley, Merlo Podlowski, Oliver Charles, Gus Seyffert and Bob Coke. Ben Harper and Inara George add their unique voices as backing vocals, Chris Darrow his mandolin and the Malian Ballake Sissoko, his angelic kora playing. Piers Faccini wrote and sung all the songs, playing all the guitars and layering extra touches of colour with a chinese 'er hu' violin, a harmonium or a harmonica. Behind the mixing desk, Eric Serafin completes this musical jigsaw.
A storm is tearing across the skies, but one so tender, it'll do no harm.
