Free Music Review: Le Fabuleux destin d'Yann Tiersen
Hit: 4 Stars
I first became aware of Brest musician Yann Tiersen when he was compared to Penguin Cafe Orchestra, and only later made the connection that he'd also done the "Amelie" soundtrack which I'd remembered liking. However a much better likeness is to compare him to fellow French "naive" musician Pascal Comelade, since both feature toy pianos, simple repeating melodies and minimal production techniques. Both are multi-instrumentalists and essentially one-man bands playing music which could be described as child-like or intentionally naive. Penguin Cafe can be joyfully innocent but I don't think of them as naive. Other comparisons I've heard -- Nino Rota and Erik Satie -- don't hold up either for similar reasons.
Tiersen's variety of instrumentation -- keyboards, accordion, guitar, melodica, violin -- mean his albums don't get too monotonous, despite the rather simplistic origins. There is something quintessentially "French" about Tiersen's music, which if you're in the mood can be delightful.
La Valse des Monstres Poster
Tiersen's Debut Album from 1995 that Introduced Listeners to this Most Talented Instrumentalist. He Plays an Provocative Variety of Instruments Like Toy Piano, Clavinet, Violin, Accordion, Melodica and More. Quite Similar in Spirit to More Uptempo Roger Eno Material.Alternative Rock Music CDs
