Finally, I decided to record a full cover of the album "La Valse des Monstres" completely from beginning to end. It was quite a difficult but fun challenge! The idea to record this came to me a month ago, when I remembered that I had already perfectly recorded “Le Banquet” and a couple of other tracks. All tracks are learned by ear. Some of the tracks have never been covered on YouTube.

Mezeaudio: "Through the summer of 1993, Tiersen stayed in his apartment, recording music alone with guitar, violin and accordion, guided not by the classical canon, but by intuition and his vision of “a musical anarchy".
By the end of the summer of 1993, Tiersen had recorded over 40 tracks, which would form the bulk of his first two albums. 1995’s La Valse Des Monstres, inspired by Tod Browning’s Freaks and Yukio Mishima’s The Damask Drum, was followed six months later by Rue Des Cascades, a collection of short pieces recorded with toy piano, harpsichord, violin, accordion and mandolin."
