Rue des cascades

Yann Tiersen

Intimate piano cycles and clattering toy instruments. A rainy afternoon in Paris captured through minimalist accordion waltzes and bittersweet violin melodies.

April 1, 1996 · Ici D'Ailleurs

A delicate balance of whimsical playfulness and a deep, urban loneliness that feels both intimate and cinematic.
