  1. I have written a little arrangement of "Comptine d'un autre été: L'Après-midi" (aka "the Amelie song" by Yann Tiersen), for a mixed ensemble (flute, piano, violin and cello), in the rare case someone needs one tomorrow (I actually needed it):

  2. This evening's viewing, a revisit to Amelie. I revisited Jeunet's earlier works, Delicatessen and City of Lost Children, last year, but haven't revisited this for years. Such a gorgeous film. Not to mention Audrey Tautou (swoon)

  3. As randomly chosen by survey* on Mastodon, our next spotlight is on number 866 on The List, submitted by leonardo.

    I assumed I knew nothing of this musician and composer, as the name, face, and sound didn’t ring any bells whatsoever. But then Wikipedia told me that Tiersen did the score/soundtrack for the French film Amélie! Mon dieu, I love Amélie!

    While only one or maybe two tracks on this album remind me of Amélie, it does makes me think it could be a soundtrack to an as-yet unseen film. It’s positively full of absolute gems and a whole swirl of moods, and it also features a nice handful of collaborators including Elizabeth Fraser of Cocteau Twins, Stuart A. Staples of the Tindersticks, and the legendary Jane Birkin.

    Given that Tiersen’s work apparently is often compared with that of Philip Glass and Michael Nyman, it’s safe to say that his work is right up my alley. I plan on checking it all out, tout de suite, starting with his most recent work up on Bandcamp. In fact, as I am writing, I randomly clicked on the cover I liked best in his BandcampPortrait (2019) – and the very first song features not only Stephen O’Malley of Sunn O))), but also harpischord. I’m in love.

    *The survey choices that led to this spotlight were “D”, “A”, and “Y”, following the earlier surveys with “B”, “L”, “U”, “E” and “M”, “O”, “N”. The third letter was the winning selection, so the survey result was translated as picking the third album in The List by an artist whose name starts with the letter “Y”.

    Today, in our latest addition to my “Memories from a New Century” series, a short postcard from Amélie with a mysterious woman called Fabienne as a picture. (details after the pictures)

    Dear Mr. Adrien,
    See how I think of you and how pretty my card is. I will answer you […]
