Where this album fits

Career context
By the time '∞' was released in 2014, Yann Tiersen had already established himself as a prominent figure in contemporary music following the success of his film score for 'Amélie' in 2001. This album marked a return to his roots in instrumental music, showcasing a more experimental side after his previous work, 'Skyline', which leaned towards a more rock-oriented sound. '∞' reflects Tiersen's evolution as he explores new textures and dynamic compositions.
