The story of the soundtrack to Amelie

Welcome to the "Soundtrack" column, in which we'll look at iconic soundtracks. Opening this column will be the charming and whimsical soundtrack to the 2001 French film "Amelie," written by Jan Thiersen.

The music for "Amelie" was written and performed by Jan Thiersen, a French musician and composer known for his experimental and minimalist style. Thiersen used a mixture of acoustic and electronic instruments to create a distinctive and playful sound to the soundtrack. The music is a mixture of French folk, classical and contemporary styles, with influences from Eric Satie to rock music.

One of the most striking instruments used in the soundtrack is the accordion, a traditional French instrument that gives the music a distinctive Parisian flavor. Thiersen also used a toy piano, a small and unconventional instrument that gives the music a childlike and whimsical atmosphere.

Another notable instrument used in the soundtrack is the mandolin, a stringed instrument that gives the music a rustic and folk character. Thiersen used the mandolin in the composition "La Valse d'Amélie," which is one of the most memorable compositions of the soundtrack.

In addition to the accordion, toy piano, and mandolin, Jan Thiersen used many other instruments to create the distinctive sound of the soundtrack for the film Amélie. One of the most notable instruments used in the soundtrack is the piano, which is heard in several compositions, including "Comptine d'un autre été: l'après-midi" and "La Valse d'Amélie." Thiersen used a Steinway & Sons Model O grand piano to record the soundtrack.

Another notable instrument used in the soundtrack is the harpsichord, a keyboard instrument with a distinctive plucked sound. For the track "Les Jours Tristes," Thiersen used a French harpsichord made by Pleyel.

In addition to these acoustic instruments, Thiersen also used several electronic instruments to create the unique sound of the soundtrack. Among them were a synthesizer, a sampler and a drum machine" Tiersen used a Roland Juno-60 synthesizer, which features a haunting and melancholic synth melody.

Overall, the combination of acoustic and electronic instruments used in the "Amelie" soundtrack creates a unique and playful sound that perfectly matches the tone of the film. The "Amelie" soundtrack is a masterful piece of musical storytelling that perfectly captures the quirky and charming nature of the film. Thiersen's use of unconventional instruments and techniques creates a sense of playfulness and wonder that perfectly matches the whimsical tone of the film.

One of the most memorable compositions on the soundtrack is "Comptine d'un autre été: l'après-midi," which features a simple and melancholy piano melody that perfectly captures the bittersweet nature of the film. Another notable track is "La Dispute," which features a driving and playful accordion melody that sets the tone for the entire film.

Interesting fact: Jan Thiersen wrote and recorded the entire soundtrack in less than a year, using only a few instruments and a simple recording machine. The soundtrack has become one of the most successful and beloved movie soundtracks of all time.

All in all, the soundtrack to the film Amelie is a delightful and quirky work of art that has captured the hearts of listeners all over the world. If you're a fan of French music, classical music or just good movie soundtracks, this album is a must listen.

There’s something about contemporary French female pop musicians, they’re in a ‘fuck you’ class of their own, creating intelligent, innovative and often physically visceral music. Following in Camille’s footsteps, there’s Héloïse Létissier, performing as Christine and the Queens, and Jehnny Beth, previously the lead singer for Savages, who released her solo debut earlier this year. And my current new fave, Marie Davidson, who is Canadian, but French-Canadian at least. There ends my TED talk on French female musicians. Let’s focus on this 2008 album from Camille. Its title, Music Hole, refers to her mouth and presumably other parts of her body with which she uses to make music. She is a remarkable vocalist, with a wide range, and innovative use of a capella, beat-boxing and a whole zoo’s worth of animal noises. That might sound too self-consciously ‘alternative’ and unlistenable, but what makes this album so good, are her lyrics and innate sense of fun. She clearly doesn’t take herself too seriously and most tracks are upbeat with surprising twists and turns – such as her piss-take on Mariah Carey on the Money Note, or the song Cats and Dogs which is literally about cats and dogs. Almost all the songs are sung in English, compared to her first two solo albums in French. And whereas Camille doesn’t have the profile of an artist like Björk, whose a capella album Medúlla this has been likened to, Music Hole was her breakout release outside France. She’s a very different artist to Björk though and her singing and the arrangements are much more organic, earthy somehow, it relates very acutely to her performances. An experience I’d liken to Pina Bausch’s choreography to The Rite of Spring. As with the Bausch at Sadlers Wells, I was fortunate to see Camille give an amazing performance at the Barbican in 2012 after the release of her subsequent album Ilo Veyou. #camille #musichole #homeiswhereithurts #gospelwithnolord #acapella #frenchmusician #femalesingers #nowlistening #recordcollection #randomrecordreview https://www.instagram.com/p/CF9kmbHJA0_/?igshid=12p7hfr2ny2q3

I have always enjoyed Erik Satie’s «Gnossiennes»-- in fact, I think I like them more than his «Gmnopédies».
