EUSA is the ninth studio album from legendary French musician and composer, Yann Tiersen.
EUSA is Tiersen’s first ever release of solo piano music, and was recorded at Abbey Road Studios.
EUSA is the Breton name for the island of Ushant. Located 30 kilometres off the west coast of Brittany in the Celtic Sea, the island is where Tiersen lives and, with EUSA, he has created an album of sparse beauty. Living on the island Tiersen is immersed in remote, rugged natural surroundings every day and his objective with EUSA was to make a musical map, a tool for the listener to navigate and experience his surroundings. Tiersen doesn’t want to tell the listener what to think or feel, rather EUSA is intended as a guide for the listener.
New album EUSA moves into more minimalist contemporary sounds, showing the continuation of Tiersen’s diversity
