A few weeks ago, I went to London to see Yann Tiersen in concert at the Barbican Hall.
His music has been described as minimalist, avant-garde post-rock.
He started the concert with piano pieces from his latest album. This is an album of two halves: one solo piano and one electronics and beats. My son and I went to the Q&A he did before the concert where he talked about his music and his commitment to low carbon touring.
He played one piece from the film that he is perhaps most associated with: the 2001 film 'Amelie'. My wife and I visited Montmatre where this was mostly filmed over the Easter break, I saw the film on release at an arts cinema in Sheffield and have loved it ever since.
