Yann Tiersen's musical journey showcases his constant evolution & experimentation. Starting piano at four & forming his first band at thirteen, he immersed himself in the punk rock scene, playing guitar & synth. After four years in a punk band, he ventured into a solo career armed with a synth, sampler, & drum machine. This phase led him to explore sampling, incorporating toy & acoustic instruments, & crafting his signature motoric acoustic miniatures.
Yann Tiersen's third album, Le Phare (The Lighthouse), released in 1998, marked a significant breakthrough, earning him his first gold record. That same year, he performed at the Rencontres Trans Musicales festival, which propelled him into an extensive & ongoing tour.
Yann Tiersen's latest album, Rathlin from a Distance | The Liquid Hour, is a two-part exploration of self & society. The first segment, Rathlin from a Distance, features eight introspective piano pieces, each inspired by locations from his 2023 sailing journey. Tiersen describes this experience as transformative, allowing him to shed societal constructs & confront his true self.
In contrast, The Liquid Hour delivers a genre-defying blend of electronics & psychedelic rhythms. Inspired by a solitary night at sea near Belfast, Tiersen reflects on systemic injustices & the urgency for change.
Through this album, Tiersen offers a profound reflection on personal & collective experiences, reaffirming his commitment to artistic evolution & social consciousness.
