Historia
Yann Tiersen (born 23 June 1970) is a French musician and composer. His musical career is split between studio recordings, music collaborations and film soundtracks songwriting. His music incorporates a large variety of classical and contemporary instruments: primarily the electric guitar, the piano, synthesisers and the violin, but also instruments such as the melodica, xylophone, toy piano, harpsichord, piano accordion or even typewriter.
Tiersen is often mistaken for a soundtrack composer, as he is quoted about himself: "I'm not a composer and I really don't have a classical background", but his real focus is on touring and recording studio albums, which are often used for film soundtracks. Tracks taken from his first three studio albums were used for the soundtrack of 2001 French film Amélie starring Audrey Tautou. ...

200 kmh winds, 18 cyclones, 12 countries - Andy Byatt (Blue Planet, Earth) Cyril Barbançon and Jacqueline Farmer have teamed up with NASA and composer Yann Tiersen to bring this thrilling and immersive experience to the big screen. Beginning its tumultuous journey as an ominous sandstorm in Senegal, heading west across the Atlantic to toss enormous ships and waves topsy-turvy, then crashing into the jungles of the Caribbean, we live inside this hurricane, and it is truly awesome, scary and incredible. Ants, lizards, bats, frogs, horses, homeless men, rivers, ocean reefs, the US Gulf coast - all bend before the power of this monsoon turned magnificent. We see it from space, we see it through the eyes of animals, from the operations' rooms of the emergency agencies meant to warn us and help us cope - and we see it from the ground as it explodes and unleashes its fury upon us.

A film of the making of the new Tiersen album, Les Retrouvailles, La Traversée (The Crossing), was made by young director Aurelie du Boys. Tiersen says he wanted to fix the moment, immortalize it on film as something freshly created with each of his different collaborators, Jane Birkin, Liz Frazer (of Cocteau Twins), Stuart Staples (of Tindersticks), Dominique A and Christophe Miossec. A musical documentary where you see the musicians struggling with the computer, fine-tuning the recording, smoking a cigarette against the sea spray of Ouessant or riding a scooter down the island's pebbly tracks.

Berlín, octubre de 1989. Unos días antes de la caída del Muro, la madre de Alex, una mujer orgullosa de sus ideas comunistas, entra en coma. Cuando despierta ocho meses después, su hijo hará lo posible y lo imposible para que no se entere de que está viviendo en una Alemania reunificada y capitalista. Su objetivo es convertir el apartamento familiar en una isla anclada en el pasado, una especie de museo del socialismo en el que su madre viva cómodamente creyendo que nada ha cambiado.

Amelie no es una chica como las demás. Ha visto a su pez de colores deslizarse hacia las alcantarillas municipales, a su madre morir en la plaza de Notre-Dame y a su padre dedicar todo su afecto a un gnomo de jardín. De repente, a sus veintidós años, descubre su objetivo en la vida: arreglar la vida de los demás. A partir de entonces, inventa toda clase de estrategias para intervenir, sin que se den cuenta, en la existencia de varias personas de su entorno. Entre ellas está su portera, que pasa los días bebiendo vino de Oporto; Georgette, una estanquera hipocondríaca: o "el hombre de cristal", un vecino que sólo ve el mundo a través de la reproducción de un cuadro de Renoir.
