Borrowing from French folk music, chanson, shepherd's pipe walk-in and street music, as substantially as john Rock, vanguard, and classical and minimalist influences, Tiersen's deceivingly simple tendency has been likened to Chopin, Erik Satie, Philip Glass, and Michael Nyman. The Paris-based composer became pop out-of-door his native country for his score to Jean-Pierre Jeunet's Amélie, only concern most ostensibly overnight successes, he had been running for age earlier the film's success brought him international herald. Born in Brest in Brittany, on June 23, 1970, Tiersen was brocaded in Rennes and made a advert for himself as nonesuch of the star analysis situs pupils at his local indoor garden (contempt middling academic grades). Tiersen studied fiddle and pianoforte from the ages of six to 14, and ultimately trained to be a music theatre director. However, Tiersen rebelled against his graeco-Roman training and, elysian by the likes of Joy Division and the Stooges, played guitar with several local post-punk-influenced bands during his later adolescent age. At the same clock time, Tiersen was likewise makeup soundtracks for short films and escort for plays. Several of these pieces ended up on his low record album, Waltz diethylstilbestrol Monstres, in 1995 and introduced his delicate simply profoundly unrestrained style, and which too featured intricate arrangements incorporating instruments as varied as miniature piano, banjo, cembalo, melodica, and carillon, as well as pianissimo and guitar. Tiersen played all of these instruments both in the studio, and in concert, which gave his previous, one-man shows a theatrical attract that earned him a touch playing in 1996's Avignon Festival. However, Valse dES Monstres and its follow-up, 1996's Rue Des Cascades, were mostly ignored by the public and by critics. His one-third album, 1998's Phare, met a unlike fate; its single, "Monochrome," which was song by French pop headliner Dominique A., was a radio strike and propelled the album, and Tiersen, to mainstream success in France. As Tiersen's herald grew, so did the setting of his records. That year's Black Sessions -- a live record album of a radio receiving system performance -- featured collaborations with Dominique A. and the Divine Comedy's Neil Hannon, as easily bands like Les Têtes Raides and the Married Monk, wHO as well appeared on 1999's more rock-oriented album Tout Est Calme. Soon subsequently, Tiersen was preparing his next album when he was contacted by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, wHO precious Tiersen to score his following movie, Amélie. Jeunet had heard Tiersen's euphony piece drive and had been so taken with it that he bought all of Tiersen's albums. Previously, the composer had contributed euphony to films such as Alice et Martin and La Vie Revee dES Anges, just this was his to the highest degree salient celluloid work yet. His Amelie score featured new and old compositions, and the film's success spun sour to Tiersen's euphony; the soundtrack sold o'er 200,000 copies in his fatherland. His next proper album, 2001's Absente, featured collaborations with Lisa Germano, as easily as longtime contributors Hannon and Dominique A., and also benefited from Amélie's success, selling 100,000 copies in France. Throughout 2001 and 2002, Tiersen embarked on his to the highest degree challenging tours of France and the U.K. to date; this circuit was chronicled in 2003's alive album C'Était Ici. Later that twelvemonth, Tiersens' score for Well Bye Lenin! arrived.
