(image from Wikipedia)Yann Tiersen is one of those musicians who surprise you when you least expect it. Known best for his music on the soundtrack for Amélie, Tiersen has come a long way, creating several albums full of different instruments and themes that fail to impress. After wanting to see him for the past five years, I was lucky enough to see him live on Sunday in the venue The Dutchess in York, U.K on the 10th May. His live stuff is less like his recordings and a taste of this can been heard on his live album On Tour (2006). His experimental music with guitars, violins and keyboards provide a night of wonder, allowing one to disappear into a world of a fairytales filled with images and colours. He plays with such energy, charisma and emotion that reflects in the reactions of the audience. An atmosphere that is incredible, it is definitely worth seeing him if you get the chance. It was the best gig I've been to in a while...
