A couple of years ago, I secluded myself with an old vintage C. Bechstein grand piano in a small hall, aiming to record some works by Philip Glass. After several attempts, I realized that it wasn't my day. However, with time still on my side, I decided to play and record Yann Tiersen's album 'Kerber,' for which I had just received the sheet music. To be honest, this attempt felt unsuccessful. I wasn’t satisfied with my playing, the piano, or the choice and placement of microphones. In general, nothing seemed right.
I tried editing and mixing the recording without much success, so I ultimately decided to delete the project. After deleting it, I forgot about it. Just a few days ago, while cleaning my hard drive, I stumbled upon backup video and audio files. Intrigued, I listened to the preserved recording and decided to breathe new life into this version of Tiersen's 'Kerber.
From the press release:
Named after a chapel in a small village on the island of Ushant, Kerber marks a new chapter in Tiersen’s career. A chapter still true to Tiersen’s nuanced and subtle approach but one that sets out with his most overtly electronic material to date. Beautifully textured, highly immersive, and thoughtfully constructed, Tiersen creates an electronic world, providing an environment in which the piano source exists.
A sense of place has often been a central theme in Tiersen’s work and here that is no different. Each track is tied to a place mapping out the immediate landscape that surrounds Tiersen’s home, linking back to his thoughts on the possibilities of the infinite smallness.
“I think there is a similarity between the infinite big and the infinite smallness of everything,” says Yann Tiersen. “It's the same experiment looking through a microscope as it is a telescope.”
*Yann Tiersen (born 23 June 1970) is a French Breton 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 he also includes instruments such as the melodica, xylophone, toy piano, harpsichord, piano accordion, and even a 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 the 2001 French film Amélie.
