In this week's print edition, Doug Davis gets to thinking about Yann Tiersen, the man behind the Amelie soundtrack and, in turn, maybe the whole baroque twee movement of the mid-'00s. Writes Davis:
A classically trained musician, Tiersen's a multi-instrumentalist who
rarely tours and, when he does, he's as likely to be seen in a setting
such as the Meyerson as he is at the Granada Theater, where this show will be housed. When not playing with
orchestral backing, though, he's typically accompanied by a rhythm
section, a backing vocalist and a guitarist. Tiersen, meanwhile, is a
virtuoso who will switch between keyboards, violin, guitar and
found-object instruments, weaving organic and somewhat abstract
compositions. Continue reading...
Accordion players have all the luck, I guess.
Maybe you do, too?
The Granada's been kind enough to pass along three pairs of tickets to its affair with Tiersen this evening. Scoring a pair is easy enough as well--just be among the first three to email me right now with the words "Yann not Yawn" in the subject line and you're in. Good luck!Update: Contest is over. Congrats to our winners.
