Yann Tiersen

French musician Yann Tiersen is the leading light of the new “neo-realist” movement who’s music seeks to reinvigorate the country’s classic pop traditions, accordion music, even the pop classical heritage of Satie and Debussy. He subtly blends these rich traditions with electronics, world music and contemporary classical. Yann’s music is fresh and modern and formed most of the soundtrack for the incredible film Amelie, his music representing the love filled city of Paris. Yann Tiersenis never fails to produce strong, delightful and enchanting music. Make sure you catch him at Concorde2 on November 5th for an even more spine tingling experience of his live set. www.myspace.com/yanntierseninprogress
