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.

Mark R. Heath & Signal Box Mallet Meditations & Translucent Touch - Two-track single Release date - August 1, 2020 Cover art - polymer clay and Photoshop by chichi

guitar - Signal Box (aka Robin Anthony Coe) toy piano on Translucent Touch - chichi all additional instruments, production, and mixing - Mark R. Heath

Mallet Meditations and Translucent Touch are twin tracks, both based on a guitar track by Signal Box but taken in kindred directions by two different artists.

Mallet Meditations

The guitar by Signal Box is a steady river that grows and widens, the melody by Heath carving out the landscape through which the river passes. Some parts of the melody float on top while others are more submerged. Chimes hover, dart, and play, and elements mix and sometimes reverse, creating a feeling of stasis and flow in both directions of time. 

Translucent Touch

The guitar by Signal Box evokes summer and the mayfly, a little creature with no functional mouthpart which usually dies very soon after its mating flight. Just like the mayfly, this track’s melody (created on a toy piano by chichi) is ephemeral, delicate and beautiful. This piece has plenty of surprises as it slowly builds to a cinematic close. Keep listening!

Here’s your Good Morning/Happy Saturday loop courtesy of my homemade instruments and effects. I may need to add another contact mic inside the big box because some of the elements aren’t getting picked up as much as I’d like. With that said, I still think there’s a lot of potential here. I haven’t even scratched the surface yet.

“Keyboard!” Every time I read this in my head I hear it in @beyonce’s voice like she said “surfboard” in that one song. This was a fun project. I was gifted a tiny piano by @lisareeve (similar to the one in the last picture) and it had a small amount of damage that revealed it was particleboard. I decided to use that as an opportunity to create a new wood cabinet and use the innards of the old one. I’m really happy with this little guy. The f holes, the hand painted illustrations and the brown minor keys, love this chunky monkey. Come to @antlerpdx last Thursday for the opening or drop in and see it through May. #vibrationexploration #handpaintedillustrations #toypiano https://www.instagram.com/p/BwS0eoEhrMl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19xetlz18zj02

《天津第一場，小劇場獨奏會》🎹 今天下午來到河西區文化館的200人小劇場演出，這場是不售票的「公益演出」，全是附近居民前來聆賞，感覺有點像是我們社教館的免費音樂會呢！ 劇場雖小但舞台燈光俱全，而且非常難得的是，裡面是台純白鋼琴呢！不過我從來沒有聽過這個品牌的琴：Verdi!! 😝 其實覺得這台琴不是很好發揮音色，不過我賣力演出，而且：難得一個半小時的獨奏會還中場不休息的耶！（劇場說休息會冷場，呵呵）又是另一次給自己的挑戰⋯💪 這裡的聽眾們比較年長，而且似乎不是時常聽古典音樂，但我很驚喜他們喜歡並且告訴我，想買票明天再聽一次呢！🙏 明天晚上就是重頭戲，津灣大劇院的售票演出了！感覺今天的小劇場是為了明天的預演... 我在心中回顧著，幾個樂段可以處理更好的，希望明天在史坦威鋼琴上，能完全發揮出來... 謝謝Verdi鋼琴給我不一樣的經驗，呵呵🤭 每一次演出，都是珍貴的學習，我繼續往前行囉⋯⋯（影片晚一點放上囉！😝） 🎹主辦人叫做楊穎是不是Angelababy啊😋 #pianorecital #VeronicaYen #tianjin #toypiano 🌷影音：www.youtube.com/veronicayen（訂閱請要打開小🔔才會收到影片喔） 🌷IG: https://instagram.com/pianistveronica/ 🌷官網：www.veronicayen.com 🌷部落格：http://blog.veronicayen.com/（在 Tianjin, China） https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv6fRSnnujv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ijsjyuy6r0dw
