Yann Tiersen

This week, I have an in-person conversation with the visionary Yann Tiersen. 

We talk about his new album, Kerber, which draws on the geography and atmosphere of the remote island Ushant, where he lives. Plus, he shares reflections on the deeper context of where his music comes from, how a life or death situation gave him an artistic epiphany and also, to be warned, what happens if you expect him to play songs from Amelie. It was lovely to have this conversation, and it took place amongst the synth-fest in a forest that is Berlin’s Superbooth Festival.
