MRG Live Presents: Yann Tiersen – Live A/N Tour 2022

Doors 7:00 Show 8:00 PM 

Yann Tiersen today announces details of a new album, 11 5 18 2 5 18, set for release June 10 via Mute on CD and digital platforms. A limited edition clear double vinyl format is scheduled for September 30. 

This new, unexpected release from 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.

To launch the new album, Tiersen has shared two tracks: “16 15 21 12 12.  2 15 10 5 18,” where treated piano samples bend and drift through hypnotizing, pulsing electronics and “11 5 18 2 5 18,” which begins with sparse, textured electronics propelling the track forward as elements from the original start to gradually open out and spiraling piano patterns give way to pulsating beats.

Listen to “16 15 21 12 12.  2 15 10 5 18” here.

Pre-order 11 5 18 2 5 18 here. The CD format is packaged in a card pack with spot gloss varnish while the limited edition double clear vinyl features an etching on one side.

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. Planned dates include stops across The United States, Mexico, Canada, and Europe throughout the year. Full dates below. Purchase tickets here.
