Film and TV composer Kerim König brings together the worlds of acoustic and electronic in this subtle, multilayered album. The warm harmonies are beautifully restrained, the musical forces are small and intimate. The expansive Quartessence plays out like a movie soundtrack, its pulsating electronic beats gradually giving way to a solitary violin, while the exquisitely scored, modal String Quintet emerges from distorted beginnings like a butterfly from a chrysalis. König’s most affecting track is In a Major Key—a beautiful homage to the emotional ambiguity of simple tonality.
