Over the years, Piers Faccini, has often made of his songwriting, a passion for pursuing the kind of cross-cultural dialogues that have long been heard on Mediterranean shores throughout the centuries, bridging southern Europe with the Near East and Africa. 

 

In his 7th album Shapes Of The Fall, the musical influences draw heavily on Faccini’s own Mediterranean ancestry, crossing multiple frontiers with his voice over the course of the journey, from the snow tipped Anglo-American Folk registers of songs like Paradise Fell or Together Forever Everywhere to the eerie desert blown notes of Middle Eastern or North African modes in tracks like Firefly or Dunya.
