r e l a n w e r: Yann Tiersen

Este post é sobre um musico que admiro muito, tem musicas fantasticas como as do filme "Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain" e "Good Bye Lenin!"

As minhas musicas favoritas são: "Comptine d'un autre été - L'apres midi","La Noyée", "La Valse d'Amélie", "La Valse des Monstres", "Le Banquet", "La Veillée", "Les Jours Tristes" e "A Quai".

Guillaume Yann Tiersen (Brest, 23 de junho de 1970) é um músico de vanguarda, multiinstrumentista e compositor francês de origem judaica. Compondo para piano, acordeão e violino, sua música aproxima-se de Erik Satie e do minimalismo de Steve Reich, Philip Glass e Michael Nyman. Tornou-se internacionalmente conhecido ao compor trilhas sonoras de filmes como O fabuloso destino de Amélie Poulain e Good Bye, Lenin! e agora volta sendo reconhecido pela composição Summer 78 no promo de Do Começo ao Fim, filme Brasileiro mais polêmico dos ultimos tempos.

Passou sua infância em Rennes, também na Bretanha, onde estudou violino, piano e regência orquestral. De formação clássica, encaminhou-se para o rock já na idade adulta. Nos anos 1980, junta-se a vários grupos de rock em Rennes. Em seguida, começa a escrever trilhas sonoras para peças teatrais e filmes como "A vida sonhada dos anjos" (1998), de Erick Zonca, "Alice e Martin" (1998), de André Téchiné e "O que a Lua Revela" (1999), de Christine Carrière.
