Yann Tiersen: Eusa: Klavier Solo

Thisbeautiful book of new music by the critically-acclaimed composer Yann Tiersen illustrates the journey with full-colour photography by his fiancée Emilie Quinquis and personal notes to accompany the music.Eusa is a musical map of Tiersen's home, an aural exploration of a place as well as a representation of space in sound. 

 

Check out the official video below to see andhear Yann Tiersen perform Porz Goret, filmed and recorded on location at Porz Goret on the island of Ushant. Stunning.

 

 

The accompanying photography and texthelp to make this aesthetically-pleasing collection even more personal, and help orient the pianist in the world of Eusa, while the field recordings that have been linked to will let the listener experiencethe natural sounds of the island.

 

The inspiration for Eusa reportedly came from an unnerving experience Tiersen had while cycling on holiday, which led him to wantto discover more about his own place in the world, and in the process, to find out more about who he is.
