Yann Tiersen-Monochrome[Dominique A]

Le Phare (The Lighthouse) is the third album by French composer Yann Tiersen. This was the artist's breakthrough album. He collaborated with distinguished French songwriter Dominique A (who wrote and provided vocals to both Monochrome and Les Bras de mer). Typical of Tiersen's work: violin, mandolin, accordion and piano feature heavily, as well as some more unusual instrumentation including a bicycle wheel, typewriters and saucepans. Three songs from this album, La Dispute, La Noyee and Sur le fil were used later for Tiersen's soundtrack for the film Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain. L'Homme aux bras ballants is also the soundtrack to a short film by the same name by Laurent GorgiardSur le fil has become a live favourite, normally only the violin section performed with great intensity, sometimes even breaking many hairs on the bow.
