Lost In Sound

when fay hallam played live at blow up and was introduced to blow up's very own recording artist, mr nasser bouzida aka 'the bongolian', little did they know that they would shortly get together to create the album 'lost in sound'. both fay and nasser share a serious passion for 60's hammond beat and soul. in the studio, they felt free to experiment with different sounds and rhythms, immersing themselves in the sounds they both love, including bossa nova, heavier 70's grooves and a strong northern soul influence. during the months they worked on the recordings, fay would bring the basic songs into the studio, and along with nasser, flesh out the arrangements. their choice of instruments included mainly old rhodes, wurlitzer and hammond c3 keyboards and other vintage equipment, mixing things up with some cool cinematic synth.
