Tyrsen Jan (French Yann Tiersen), full name Guillaume Jan Thirsen, songwriter, performer, composer, multi-instrumentalist, was born in 1970 on June 23 in Brittany.
In his youth, Yang received a classical musical education, studying in several academies, later he was a member of rock bands in France. At the same time he records musical accompaniment for theatrical productions and short films.
In 1998, Tyrsen gained popularity in France with the release of the album "Le Phare", but is still little known outside the country. In 2001, after writing the music,
film "Amelie" The name of Jan Thirsen and his compositions are beginning to be recognized.
After the success of "Amelie", many of the works of Jan, directors begin to use in their films. Most of Thirsen's writings are instrumental plays. Vocal compositions are performed by the author or invited artists.
The live introductions of the musician are always a kind of show and are very different from each other, sometimes they are held with the participation of an orchestra. Some solo performances of Tirsen are accompanied only by percussion or bass guitar, the composer himself very subtly feels the verge of transition from light opuses with violin play to heavier ones with electric guitar. Piano composition “Yann Tiersen” “Mother’s journey” written by Jan Tyrsen, which intertwines the lyrical piano and the skill of the musician, fascinates with its sound.
Often Jan Thirsen collaborates with musician and composer Dominique Ane.
