Yann Tiersen

Yann Tiersen returns with the premiere of his new album Rathlin from a Distance | The Liquid Hour - a solo piano + electronics performance.

In an era of climate urgency, Yann Tiersen is redefining touring and challenging capitalist norms. From solitary tours in his van, to voyages on his sailboat, he has brought his music to extraordinary landscapes and intimate settings, rejecting the trappings of large-scale touring to forge genuine local connections.

Rathlin from a Distance | The Liquid Hour is an album divided into two distinct, interconnected parts, each with its own unique sonic characteristics. From introspective instrumental piano meditating on identity, to an expansive, genre-defying blend of electronic synthesis and dynamic rhythms to fuel an uprising against the systems that bind us, this performance will mark the premiere of a powerful new album. 

The album is out on Mute, April 2025
