Songs of Time Lost

Description

Beautiful music is like great friendships: they flow naturally and endure over time with a freshness that nothing can alter. It is at the intersection of this human and musical experience that the album by Piers Faccini and Vincent Ségal unfolds. Based solely on the combination of voice, guitar, and cello, bringing together original compositions and covers, Songs of Time Lost draws its substance from their shared history as well as their individual destinies, Faccini solo and Ségal with Bumcello. It is true that significant encounters mark their journeys: Ben Harper, Elvis Costello, Cesária Evora, -M-, Sting. Twenty-five years of friendship and musical understanding for a time rediscovered in songs: recent compositions blend with Neapolitan canzone, country waltz, and all sorts of revisited rhythms. "On one side, Piers Faccini, an English pop folk songwriter with incredible refinement and charm. On the other, Vincent Ségal, an exceptional cellist and pillar of the famous duo Bumcello, who multiplies collaborations. One can love rock but share it simply between a cello and a voice, love electronic music but play acoustically, love Beethoven but also Indian music, Senegalese music, and Afro-American soul." Nova
