Compositional Ambient
11 5 18 2 5 18, the unexpected new release from Yann Tiersen was born from experimentation in the studio ahead of a performance at Superbooth, Berlin’s modular and synthesizer festival. With more time than usual to prepare for his live set, Tiersen found himself in his Eskal Studio on the French island of Ushant completing the story he started with 2021’s Kerber – presenting a beautifully textured and highly immersive electronic world. Using samples as his source, Tiersen has resampled, reprogrammed, and recomposed the pieces, creating entirely new tracks unrecognizable from their original versions. Where Kerber took a more nuanced and subtle approach to the electronics, 11 5 18 2 5 18 brings the listener into new sonic spaces and – as recent live performances can attest – these spaces include the dance floor. Yann Tiersen will embark on an extensive, electronics-heavy tour this June in support of 11 5 18 2 5.
