Yann Pierre Tiersen is a French Breton musician and composer. His musical career is split between studio recordings, music collaborations, and film soundtracks songwriting.
1. “I want less and less control with music. Just playing music without any idea of composition or writing.”
— Yann Tiersen
2. “I can’t imagine playing a boring gig. Like, a boring audience without reaction, I will play against them.”
— Yann Tiersen
3. “I started making music with my band in the ’80s, so I am more product of post-punk than classical music, and I have always carried on this way.”
— Yann Tiersen
4. “In France the music schools are a bit old-fashioned. I was more excited about doing my stuff or to play with my friend in my band, than studying the piano.”
— Yann Tiersen
5. “When I’m working in the studio, I like to be on my own because I don’t know where I’m going; I want to be completely free to spend lots of time on songs.”
— Yann Tiersen
6. “I love working and writing new songs. But sometimes you need to wait, to have something in your mind, and then you can let yourself play music.”
— Yann Tiersen
7. “I don’t compose. I just recorded. I’m the opposite of a composer in my way of working. I’m more instinctive.”
— Yann Tiersen
8. “Most of the time I like to start an album abroad, not at home, just to avoid the pressure, to not wake up and think, ‘OK, it’s the first of recording this album.’ I like to avoid that.”
— Yann Tiersen
