French composer (Amelie, Good Bye Lenin!) and pop experimentalist Yann Tiersen discusses his kooky clips, the tiny island where he records, and more.
To many, Tiersen is best known for his contributions to the smash hit film Amelie, but to others who have followed a career of joyous experimentation, his music is so much more.
We chat to him about his numerous collaborations (everyone from Shannon Wright to Neil Hannon of The Divine Comedy), his artful video clips, his island studio, his classical training, and more.
