Yann Tiersen



Thirty-five years old, Yann Tiersen was born & raised in France and started taking piano and violin lessons when he was only six. He was much influenced by the French alternative/post-punk scene in the eighties, playing with numerous bands. His music is a mixture of piano ballads and accordion waltzes, sometimes accompanied by haunting vocals or delving into the genre of rock n’ roll with crisp guitar riffs and clever basslines.

1999 - "Tout est calme" (Tiersen’s fourth album, but his first real claim to fame) ; 10 songs over 27 minutes; Buy

2001 - “L’Absente” (features vocalists such as France’s Dominique A, The UK’s Neil Hannon, America’s Lisa Germano) ; 12 songs over 46 minutes ; Buy

2005 – “Les Retrouvailles” (features Liz Fraser formerly of the Cocteau Twins and Stuart Staples of Tindersticks) ; 16 songs over 44 minutes ; Buy
