Yann Tiersen

For ARTE Concert's Piano Day Yann Tiersen strips back to solo piano, alone in front of his keyboard. A gripping performance taking cues from his album Rathlin from a Distance / The Liquid Hour.

Yann Tiersen: Kerber – The Film is a 2021 musical feature film that serves as a visual and sonic journey through the composer’s home of Ushant (Ouessant) in Brittany.

Passengers invites Yann Tiersen under the steel canopy of Tempelhof Airport. An expansive setting for the windswept sound of album Kerber, an ode to the Breton island of Ushant. Concert filmed on April 24, 2023 in the Great Hall of Tempelhof Airport, Berlin.

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.
