Yan Tiersen: Comptine D'été no 2 and Comptine D'un Autre Été

These pieces were used as the background music for a "Found Footage" project that my son Alex put together for a film class at RIT where he is a Motion Picture Science Major. The film can be found at: http://vimeo.com/4681652

At 11 years old, he was deeply affected by 9/11 when the office where I worked was destroyed. I had the fortune not to be there that day and even more so that everyone except one person that I worked with made it out safely that day.

Not a day goes by that I don't think of this event and the days and years that have followed: The effect it has had on my family and work life.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share this with you and your listeners.
