<p>Yann Tiersen is a French composer and multi-instrumentalist, born on 23 June 1970 in Brest, Brittany, France. With a background in classical violin, piano, and conducting, he gained recognition for his compositions for theatre. His first album "La Valse Des Monstres" (1995) features some of these pieces. Tiersen's music has also been featured in popular movies such as "Amélie" (2001), "The Dreamlife Of Angels" (1998), and "Goodbye Lenin" (2003). In recent years, his sound has evolved to incorporate elements of rock music and electronics.</p>

This is a recording of Yann Tiersen's Lagniappe Session for Aquarium Drunkard. There’s a lot happening in the collective works of Yann Tiersen. Initially inspired by Einstürzende Neubauten, Throbbing Gristle and other post-punk/industrial groups, Tiersen’s music would soon grow further nuanced, moving in more subtle directions. It’s this which makes the approach to his Lagniappe Session all the more interesting, in that he turns that very direction on its head. Original pieces that could be described as minimalist are uprooted and placed into entirely different realms, as Tiersen tackles a 16+ minute Steve Reich piece, a classic Françoise Hardy chanson, and a tune by E.C. Ball
