Question: Which French composer and musician wrote the film score "L'Absente", an album of great variety, and Amélie, the soundtrack to the 2001 French film "Amélie", a story about a girl that had been home-schooled since childhood?

Amélie (also known as Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain; ] ; English: "The Fabulous Destiny of Amélie Poulain" ) is a 2001 French romantic comedy film directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet.  Written by Jeunet with Guillaume Laurant, the film is a whimsical depiction of contemporary Parisian life, set in Montmartre.  It tells the story of a shy waitress, played by Audrey Tautou, who decides to change the lives of those around her for the better, while struggling with her own isolation.  The film was a co-production between companies in France and Germany.  Taking in over $33 million in a limited theatrical release, it is to date the highest-grossing French-language film released in the United States, and one of the biggest international successes for a French movie. <SEP> L'Absente is the fourth studio album by French composer and musician Yann Tiersen.  The album was released on 5 June 2001 through EMI France, and was preceded by two promotional singles for "À quai" and "Bagatelle".  When French film director Jean-Pierre Jeunet asked Tiersen if he was interested in writing the film score for "Amélie", Tiersen was already working on "L'Absente".  "L'Absente" is an album of great variety with Tiersen playing many instruments including an old-fashioned typewriter and a pot, and it is characterized by several guests contributions provided by the 35-member Ensemble Orchestral Synaxis conducted by Guillaume Bourgogne, French folk rock group Têtes Raides, singers Dominique A, Lisa Germano, Neil Hannon, and Belgian actress Natacha Régnier, ondes Martenot player Christine Ott, Christian Quermalet, guitarist Marc Sens, viola player Bertrand Lambert, violinists Yann Bisquay and Sophie Naboulay, saxophonist Grégoire Simon, and drummer Sacha Toorop.  "L'Absente" peaked at number 41 on the French Albums Chart. <SEP> Rue des cascades (English: "Cascade Street") is the second studio album by the musician and composer Yann Tiersen.  It was released through Sine Terra Firma in 1996, and subsequently reissued in 1998, 2001, and 2009 through Ici, d'ailleurs... and Virgin Records in CD and double LP formats.  The album, with the exclusion of two pieces, "Naomi" and "La Vie quotidienne", is a collection of short pieces recorded with toy piano, harpsichord, violin, accordion, mandolin, and other conventional and unconventional musical instruments such as an old typewriter in "Pas si simple".  The title track, which was used about one year later for the film score of the Palme d'Or nominated French drama film "The Dreamlife of Angels", was sung by French soloist singer Claire Pichet, who also provided vocals on the track "Naomi", a song that features words from Allen Ginsberg's poem "Kaddish".  François-Xavier Schweyer played the cello on "C'était ici" and "La Fenêtre".  Three tracks, "J'y suis jamais allé", "Pas si simple", and "Soir de fête", will find a wider audience five years later when they were featured on the soundtrack to Jean-Pierre Jeunet's acclaimed film "Amélie". <SEP> Amélie is the soundtrack to the 2001 French film "Amélie", a motion picture set in Paris, France, about a young woman endeavouring to help and improve the lives of those around her.  Having been home-schooled since childhood, Amélie finally leaves her lifelong home and begins to discover her true vocation in life: awarding her neighbours and colleagues love and happiness.  But when Amélie chances upon her own romance, her adventure truly begins—ever captured by the music of Yann Tiersen.
