‘You Never Left’ on side A is  very much in the same feel as the collection of songs on new album which will be out in a few months. Since I recorded ‘Two grains of sand’ in 2008  I’d been wanting to record a whole album of intimate songs and ballads, finding myself a free agent in 2012, I was finally able to put all my energy into making this project come to life by starting up my own label Beating Drum. I recorded almost all of the album by myself apart from a few days when I was joined by bassist Jules Bikoko and cellist and singer Dom la Nena. This 7” vinyl is the first release on Beating Drum. The song ‘You Never Left’ isn’t on the album but it offers a little taste of things to come.

‘Robot Theme 6′ on side B is an instrumental track from a soundtrack I wrote for the film ‘A world without humans’ by Philippe Borrel. I’ve been writing soundtracks since the late nineties mostly for documentaries and occasionally for fiction both for the BBC and Channel 4 in the U.K. I enjoy writing instrumental music although it’s a very different proposition to writing songs and this release for Record Store Day seemed a great opportunity to publish one of these more unusual tracks.

I started out as a painter writing music on the side and then I ended up writing songs and painting on the sly. If my songs were maps I'd want them to stretch from the English moors to the Saharan dunes via the plains of the Mediterrannean.
Most of the time, I release my music on my own label Beating Drum.
I've collaborated with many wonderful artists and musicians over the years, amongst them, Vincent Segal, Ballake Sissoko, Ben Harper, Ibrahim Maalouf and Rokia Traore and more.

Beating Drum is an Independent record label run by @Piers-Faccini.
Masters of eclecticism we create lovingly made objects that bring together music, art and writing.
