Yann Tiersen & QUINQUIS aboard ‘Ninnog’ credit: Maite Fernandez Alonso The completion of the tour coincides with the release of YANN TIERSEN’s Kerber Complete, a box set that collates four very different versions of his 2021 album, Kerber, out now on CD and digitally via Mute.
Kerber Complete collates
Kerber, Yann Tiersen’s 2021 album built on modular synthesis and sampling,
11 5 18 2 5 18, the modular recomposition of
Kerber, a brand new solo piano recording of
Kerber and an album of remixes and reworkings from the likes of
Terence Fixmer,
Beatrice Dillon and L
aurel Halo, as well as remixes by Tiersen of
NEU!,
Keeley Forsyth,
Michael Price and
Simon Fisher Turner &
Edmund de Waal.
While 2021’s Kerber saw Tiersen incorporating modular synthesis and sampling into the recording process, his follow up album, 11 5 18 2 5 18, was born from further experimentation in the studio as the artist prepared for a performance at Berlin’s modular and synthesizer festival, Superbooth. Using samples as his source, Tiersen resampled, reprogrammed and recomposed existing audio to create entirely new tracks unrecognizable and decontextualized from their original versions. Kerber Complete brings the story full circle as he compliments the two albums with remixes from across Kerber and an album of newly recorded piano versions of the tracks, piano being the original source of the samples for Kerber.

Yann Tiersen has been involved in music for most of his life, pushing boundaries with varied instrumentation - vintage synthesizers, modular synthesis, piano, violin, Ondes Martenot - while exploring our connection with nature, place and his love of Celtic languages, including his native Breton.
Émilie Tiersen released SEIM, her debut album as QUINQUIS on Mute in spring 2022 after a series of releases as Tiny Feet. The album, described by Uncut as “… ethereal, sometimes casually ominous songs… amid flickering synth flourishes” was followed a few months later by a new collection of compositions, the AER EP. QUINQUIS’ work is rooted in both historical and modern stories, connecting worlds with electronics and Émilie’s tender yet quietly soaring vocals, all sung in Breton.
