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.

While #outforastroll in #oldtown #takomapark yesterday, I had the pleasure of meeting #theremin designer and #thereminist Arthur Harrison. The Theremin is a completely #touchless #musicalinstrument invented by #leontheremin in 1928. This #electronicinstrument contains sensors which detect the motion of the hands and amplify them through a speaker. Check out Arthur’s website www.Harrisoninstruments.com to learn more about the theremin and Arthur’s design contributions to this expressively vocal instrument. 3 videos: 1) Arthur Harrison performs #oneenchantedevening from #southpacific by #rogersandhammerstein ~swipe left~ 2) Arthur was kind enough to give me a short lesson in which he demonstrates an excerpt from #inthehallofthemountainking from #peergynt by #edvardgrieg ~swipe left~ 3) My first notes on the Theremin! Left hand controls volume and right hand controls pitch. Arthur makes it look easy but this is clearly an instrument which requires a lot of practice to play well! #electronicmusic #electricmusic #oddmusic #unusualinstruments #handsfree #takomaparkmd #thereminplayer #buskinglife #streetmusician #outdoormusic @takomaparkmd @mainstreettakoma (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRO1Ecfgg8z/?utm_medium=tumblr
