Born in 1970, Yann Tiersen has composed and performed music for recordings and movie soundtracks. His style is minimalist and avant-garde. In some of his live performances he is accompanied by an orchestra with guest collaborators. In others he is accompanied only by a drummer/bassist and a guitarist, while he plays piano, accordion, and violin (for his lighter pieces), and electric guitar (for his louder pieces).
Comptine d'été n° 1 (Summer Nursery Rhyme, number 1) and Rue des cascades (Cascade Street) are pieces from Tiersen's 1996 album Rue des cascades.
