With his whimsical, melancholy music, Yann Tiersen has become a sought-after composer, not only for his soundtrack work, but in his own right. Borrowing from French folk music, chanson, musette waltz and street music, as well as rock, avant-garde, and classical and minimalist influences, Tiersen's deceptively simple style has been likened to Chopin, Erik Satie, Philip Glass, and Michael Nyman. This is his 2005 album featuring guest vocalists Liz Frazier, Jane Birkin, Stuart Stapple & Dominique A. Includes the bonus track 'Ukuele Man' not available on the European pressing. EMI. 2005.

Yann Tiersen is a French musician and composer. His musical career is split between studio recordings, music collaborations and film soundtracks songwriting.

法国导演Jean-Pierre Jeunet影片《天使爱美丽》Amelie from Montmartre的原声大碟。 鲜艳饱和的色泽，奇幻狂想的缤纷，片中每个画面都是美得让人舍不得眨眼的巴黎！电影上映前两个月，配乐迟迟未敲定，导演助理告诉他，有个作曲家Yann Tierson最近满红的，回家路上放来听听看吧。车子还没开到家，导演已不停惊叹：这就是我要的巴黎感觉！然而，当时年方30的Yann Tierson新专辑发行在即，无暇为整部电影作配乐，于是，导演由旧专辑挑选曲目，再加上Tierson15天之内赶工谱写的新乐段，《天使爱美丽》于是诞生。原声带迄今于法已破22万张销售！层层叠叠的钢琴、小提琴、手风琴、鼓声、口琴…构成Yann Tierson自成一格的异想世界，低吟时像打在湖面轻泛涟漪的细雨，轻盈时便化作跳动的水瓢，音符简洁短促，主旋律带出一次次变奏，旋律就这般悠然荡漾。 另外值得一提的是，Yann Tierson同时也是《再见,列宁!》(Good Bye, Lenin!)的原声作曲者。

Yann Tiersen releases his brand new album All. All is the first album to be recorded at Tiersen’s new studio, venue and community centre, The Eskal, built in an abandoned discotheque on the island of Ushant, a small island positioned in the Celtic sea between Brittany and Cornwall, Tiersen’s home for the past 10 years. The album, mixed and co-produced by Gareth Jones, continues the themes of environment and a connection to nature first explored on EUSA, incorporating recordings from outside of Brittany, such as the redwood forests of California as well as field recordings from Tempelhof airport in Berlin (on ‘Tempelhof’), plus guest vocalists.
