Yann Tiersen reveals new track "Porz Goret" from new project Eusa

Eusa is not an album in the traditional sense however - it's a book of sheet music for piano, with each piece related to "a specific location on the island of Ushant off the coast of Brittany".

Tiersen says of the project: “Ushant is more than just a home - it’s a part of me. The idea was to make a map of the island and, by extension, a map of who I am. To begin with I chose ten locations on the island and made a series of field recordings at each of them. The pieces of piano music I then went on to write are named after these locations, and the sheet music for each piece is accompanied by a GPS coordinate and a photograph of the site taken by Emilie Quinquis.”

There is also an accompanying website showing the photographs alongside field recordings from each location.

Tiersen is performing a series of solo shows in May 2016, which will give fans the chance to hear the artist's interpretation of his Eusa project for the first time.
