Breton ? Français ? Européen ? Comment vivre sereinement sa " bretonnitude " à l'heure de l'Union européenne ?
Dans ce livre écrit d'une plume pleine de verve et d'humour, l'auteur affirme son identité bretonne et explique pourquoi il se regarde d'abord comme un Breton avant d'être un Français et un Européen. C'est un rapport intime, personnel – mais aussi éclairé – à la Bretagne qui est exposé ici. L'auteur interroge sa " palpitation qui n'est pas française " et revisite la matière bretonne dans une démonstration passionnante : son histoire, ses langues, son rapport à l'autre. …

Après avoir retracé l'histoire générale du livre, l'auteur analyse sa production, sa circulation et ses usages, depuis l'invention de l'imprimerie jusqu'à l'ère du numérique.

Yann Tiersen has announced details of a new album and shared a taste of what to expect with the first track, ‘Ker al Loch’. The new album, Kerber, is set for release on Mute on 27 August 2021. The first single sets the scene for the album – ‘Ker al Loch’ builds up from Tiersen’s gently played piano keys to a full on sensory assault as pulsating electronics cloak the song.

L'auteur expose les principes de la bioénergie avant d'aborder les phénomènes géobiologiques (vortex, cheminées cosmotelluriques de l'intraterre, etc.), la géobiologie de la nature et de l'habitat, ainsi que les moyens de protéger Gaïa et de maîtriser les circuits énergétiques. …

Fabuleux Destin d'Amelie Poulen (known to Western audiences simply as "Amelie") was a magic realist romantic comedy by French auteur Jean Pierre-Jeunet which introduced French composer Yann Tiersen to listeners worldwide. Tiersen's whimsical, deceptively simple instrumental music was equally influenced by composers like Chopin and Satie, as well as contemporaries such as Michael Nyman and Philip Glass, and emerged as an enjoyable blend of European classical music and French folk. Playing a variety of instruments from piano and violin to accordion and xylophone, Tiersen composed a number of delicate, charming pieces which suited the somewhat magical mood of the film very well and deservedly made him a star in his own right.

With his whimsical, melancholy music, Yann Tiersen has become a sought-after composer, not only for his soundtrack work, but in his own right. Borrowing from French folk music, chanson, musette waltz, and street music, as well as rock, avant-garde, and classical and minimalist influences, Tiersen's deceptively simple style has been likened to Chopin, Erik Satie, Philip Glass, and Michael Nyman.

Les Retrouvailles is the fifth studio album by French musician Yann Tiersen. Released in 2005 through Ici, d'ailleurs… record label, it features a number of high-profile guest vocalists, both French and Anglophone alike: Christophe Miossec, Dominique A, Elizabeth Fraser (of the Cocteau Twins), Jane Birkin, and Stuart Staples (of the Tindersticks). As is customary with his albums, Tiersen showcases his multi-instrumental skills, which on the album encompasses the accordion, piano, mandolin, and harpsichord, among others.
