No Format

No Format is a French label that was founded in 2004 by Laurent Bizot. Operating under the legal name Nø Førmat, this label has established itself as a prominent player in the music industry. With an impressive roster of talented artists and performers, No Format has become known for its innovative and boundary-pushing releases.

Since its inception, No Format has been dedicated to showcasing unique and diverse musical styles. The label's commitment to artistic freedom and experimentation has allowed it to foster a vibrant community of musicians who are unafraid to push the boundaries of their craft.

With a focus on quality over quantity, No Format carefully curates each release, ensuring that every album represents the best of what its artists have to offer. From jazz and world music to electronica and experimental sounds, No Format offers a wide range of genres for music lovers to explore.

With his seventh studio album, Shapes of the Fall, Piers Faccini, pursues his passion for 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. Although the songs are written and sung in English, the musical influences in Shapes of the Fall draw heavily on Faccini's own Mediterranean ancestry, creating a musical voyage whose geography varies from song to song, 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. Ruin or repair and hope or despair are the albums parallel narratives and if shapes of the fall are the myriad endangered forms that make up the mosaic of our environmental collapse, the descent, Faccini sings, is of our doing or undoing.
