Forced to relax

This track is inspired by a dream I had where I died in a plane crash. "Odyssey" comes from the travels of Ulysse - his fear of never coming back home & never reaching his ambitions. It's a track about deception and the fear of death, the fear of never accomplishing your goals.

Odyssey

Yann Tiersen will curate a very special Halloween event in Paris this year, celebrating the centenary of the Fantômas series, directed by Louis Feuillade.

Tiersen has selected and is working with Tim Hecker, James Blackshaw, Loney Dear, Amiina and his own band to provide a live score for each of the five films from the restored Fantômas series, which will run for six hours in the beautiful surroundings of the Théâtre de Châtelet, Paris. 

Currently in the studio working on the follow up to 2011's Skyline, this new track is entitled Janet and comes from a soundtrack Tiersen is  working on.

Yann Tiersen - Janet

This week, LA-based three-piece American Royalty make the slumber session their own. Mixing field recordings with cuts from the 1920s, 30s and 40s, this one's old school, waaay old school. Press play.

"We are big fans of music from the 20s, 30s, and 40s. The simple song structures, the beautiful melodies and harmonies. With our slumber mix, we've taken a bit of the past and placed it within this sort of half-awake landscape of delays and sub frequency bass notes. We think of it as a sun-bleached-Palm-Springs-midday-nap. There are a couple of contemporary guys we've thrown in there as well because they just seemed to fit. No strict rules here. Anyway, here's our best attempt at helping you get unstuck in time and back to the dream state. Float float float away." - @americanroyalty

Saturn Boy

This was my first solo piano tune -- thanks for all the love!

I re-recorded this on my first solo EP "And Begin..."
Available on Bandcamp, Spotify, iTunes and all stores.

Please support me by sharing my music on social media.

Song for my forefathers (original version)

Samuel Barber's Adagio For Strings. This is from 1936, earlier than the 60's but so much more modern, isn't it? The ultimate ambient trance-ish piece... Tried to make it sound like metallic yet organic strings, mixing Clavia's string orchestra samples with synthesizers.

If this is too ambient for you (sometimes it is for me), Tiësto used the first notes ad nauseam in an upbeat trance track.
