about

Between takes whilst recording the EP Desert Songs, the two songwriters Dawn Landes and Piers Faccini found inspiration for the songs they were writing together by walking in the stark and beautiful mountain scenery around Piers’s studio in the Cevennes region of the south of France. Chatting as they walked, they swopped tales of desert mystics and seekers that would inspire them to write the songs for their collaborative EP. Dawn and Piers wove the arrangements together using the rich collection of instruments in Piers’s studio, a Malian Kora, a 1930’s National resonator guitar, West African percussion and an Indian dulcimer and tampura.
