Browse piano sheets by Yann Tiersen on Zen Virtual Piano. Yann Tiersen's work moves between piano, acoustic instruments and electronic music. He began studying piano at four and formed his first band at thirteen. In the punk scene he played guitar and synthesizer; after four years in a band, he started working alone with a synth, sampler and drum machine. Sampling opened another route into sound. Toy instruments and acoustic instruments became part of his music, alongside the small, rhythmically driven pieces described in his official biography as acoustic miniatures. His third album, Le Phare, appeared in 1998. It became a breakthrough and earned him his first gold record. A performance at Rennes's Rencontres Trans Musicales that year helped set an extensive touring life in motion. Tiersen composed and played piano on Comptine D'un Autre Été, L'après-midi. His later album Rathlin from a Distance | The Liquid Hour pairs eight introspective piano pieces with electronic and psychedelic music. The piano half draws on places from his 2023 sailing journey and moments of meditation.
