This exploration of the micro and the macro has permeated through much of Tiersen’s career, as an artist capable of vast expansiveness as often as he is intricate detail. However, Tiersen is not one to stick to a formula. For him, context is everything and the context keeps changing. Kerber is very much a new chapter in Tiersen’s career. One that begins with his most overtly electronic material to date. However, true to Tiersen’s nuanced and subtle approach, this isn’t a U-turn-like thumping piece of dance music but instead a beautifully textured, highly immersive and thoughtfully constructed electronic world to step inside of. It is both an evolution of what has come before, as well as a new space to explore. On the new album, electronics are the environment that sound exists within.
