yann tiersen

Yann Tiersen is an artist who defies categorisation. Don't be fooled by his once association with the Amelie soundtrack. His compositions are a fusion of acoustic and electronic elements, resulting in an otherworldly soundscape that is both emotive and transformative.

Yann Tiersen's inventive approach consistently impresses and surprises, making every performance a unique and unexpected experience
