Yann Tiersen – May 29-30, Theatre Maisonneuve LiveEvents May 21, 2019 1424 Yann Tiersen Yann Tiersen is a French musician and composer. His musical career is split between studio albums, collaborations and film soundtracks. His music involves a large variety of instruments; primarily the guitar, piano, synthesizer or violin together with instruments like the melodica, and xylophone. In addition to his new video “Koad,” Tiersen has announced a North American tour taking place in the spring of 2019. “Koad,” with vocals by Swedish artist Anna Von Hausswolff, includes field recordings of a redwood forest in Devon, England behind the Schumacher College, one of the world’s leading institutions for the study of ecology. Schumacher College, which Tiersen describes as “a concentration of hope in a small place,” has been an important influence on the album, and helped to shape ALL’s overriding theme: ecology, environment and our connection to nature.
