Yann Tiersen - Ninnog
"Ninnog" is a composition by French Breton musician Yann Tiersen, featured on his double album Rathlin from a Distance | The Liquid Hour, released on April 4, 2025, via Mute Records. This album is divided into two interconnected parts: Rathlin from a Distance, comprising eight introspective instrumental piano tracks, reflecting Tiersen's experiences during his 2023 sailing tour across Celtic regions, and
The Liquid Hour, which blends electronic and psychedelic elements
The title "Ninnog" also holds personal significance for Tiersen, as it is the name of the sailboat he used during his eco-conscious tour with fellow musician Émilie Quinquis. The boat is named after Saint Ninnog, a medieval figure known for her advocacy of women's rights and environmental stewardship

Ryuichi Sakamoto - Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence [Reworked]
Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence is a 1983 instrumental piece by Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto recorded for the film* (the first in his film scoring career) of the same name. The song has become a staple of Christmas music in the USA, Britain and Japan. A vocal version, Forbidden Colours, features former Japan frontman David Sylvian and charted in the top 20 of the UK Singles Chart and Irish Singles Chart.
*Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence (Japanese: 戦場のメリークリスマス, Hepburn: Senjō no Merī Kurisumasu, Merry Christmas on the Battlefield), also known in many European editions as Furyo (俘虜, Japanese for prisoner of war), is a 1983 war film co-written and directed by Nagisa Ōshima, co-written by Paul Mayersberg, and produced by Jeremy Thomas. The film is based on the experiences of Sir Laurens van der Post (portrayed by Tom Conti) as a prisoner of war in Japan during World War II, as depicted in his books The Seed and the Sower (1963) and The Night of the New Moon (1970). It stars David Bowie, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Takeshi Kitano and Jack Thompson.
The film was entered into the 1983 Cannes Film Festival in competition for the Palme dOr.
Sakamotos score won the film a BAFTA Award for Best Film Music.

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 wasnt my day. However, with time still on my side, I decided to play and record Yann Tiersens 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 Tiersens 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. “Its 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: Im not a composer and I really dont 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.
