Word Up with Yann Tiersen?

He's fantastical! He's wonderful! He did the soundtrack to "Amélie!" HOW CUTE IS THAT??? ANSWER ME!!! Check it out, Yann Tiersen is the master of the whimsical film score. You will be crying tears of joy in no time flat as this master instrumentalist beats your ear canals to death with his toy piano and viola stylings. Yann Tiersen is a master in the traditional art of French Folk music, yet he gives things an experimental and decidedly modern twist. It is often times the case that Yann Tiersen uses antique typewriters for percussive purposes. It does not get any more dainty or beautiful than that. Even telephones for Yann serve as makeshift keyboards. This modern musical genius is so dainty and pure at heart that you will be left thinking about nothing except for Tilda Swinton's forehead. NOW THAT'S GOOD EATING!

Yo, check this out, my main man Mr. Tiersen has been rockin' the bells in the world of film ever since his amazing and hypnotic piece "Rue des Cascades" played during the closing scene in the heartfelt French Indie film "The Dreamlife of Angels" from 1998. I just love that word "Indie," don't you? Tee-hee! I'm so precious and beautiful, much like the music I am introducing to you with my elegant words. Indeed, nab up the original score to the internationally acclaimed corny romantic drama "Amélie," as you'll love those glorious strings. Yann Tiersen is a twenty-first century composer that is very much worth your time. Other albums by Tiersen that I suggest include the following: "L'Absente" and "Les Retrouvailles." In fact, "Les Retrouvailles" contains some beautiful vocal performances by Elizabeth Fraser of Cocteau Twins fame. Forget about Air, we all know those two dwarf snobs are nothing more than bad fashion, and superficial as hell. In short, Yann Tiersen is the real French bread pizza that you seek, make no mistake. Add him to your record collection right along side your Serge Gainsbourg records, as there is absolutely no excuse not to. Minimalist composition never had it so good.

The Cocteau Twin + The Frenchman = Le Fucking Awesome!



I'm so precious...aren't you, too?
