Rathlin From a Distance | The Liquid Hour

Yann Tiersen

Piano melodies submerged in maritime field recordings and modular synthesis. A sprawling, oceanic meditation on the islands and waterways of the North Atlantic.

A vast, oceanic solitude that feels both physically cold and emotionally warm.

Moments Worth Listening For
the ten-minute immersion of Dolores where the piano melody eventually dissolves into a wash of granular electronic textures
the transition from the rhythmic pulse of Fastnet into the hauntingly distant piano of the title track
the way the Caledonian Canal interlude provides a brief, shimmering moment of clarity amidst the denser, longer compositions
