Equally spellbinding and joyful, Yann Tiersen’s compositions on the soundtrack for the 2001 French hit “Amelie” not only solidified the film as the decade’s most whimsical but also garnered Tiersen impressive comparisons to Chopin and Philip Glass. Leaning on the accordion-based waltz to infuse the pieces with Parisian charm, Tiersen’s other instrumental selections compose a sort of toy-shop orchestra—xylophone, toy piano, harpsichord, typewriter and the theremin-like ondes martenot, which sprinkle idyllic innocence on top of Tiersen’s mostly mature and substantial compositional style. Lately though, Tiersen’s busted out the electric guitar, either to submerge alt-rock undertones underneath some pop-influenced string pieces or to lead a soaring, progressive noise-rock combo into a surprisingly blistering live set. For a guy with so much classical prowess, Tiersen can put on a sweltering, sweaty rock show with the best of them. This tour will feature Tiersen back on the electric, furthering his transformation from respected composer to mysterious frontman. Expect to see some toy pianos destroyed and/or set on fire.

April 21 at Logan Square Auditorium, 2539 N. Kedzie, (773)509-5019, at 9pm. $15.
