More Info:

Suspended, broken, distorted, dismantled and reassembled on wavering, shifting timelines, the techniques used in Proximate Forms act as an audio exemplar of Merzbau and Decalcomania without a preconceived object. The music seeps through intermittent gaps, hinting at other voices, other structures, other phrases that appear and mutate as they become a part of the whole-or just fall apart. Instruments and tracks are subsumed, manipulated, re-sampled and remade in unbalanced and deep atmospheres in proximities near / far; placements up / down; tones pitched / atonal; paces slow / fast; changes familiar / unpredictable; events percussive / droning; voices dominant / receding-yet still assembling coherent yet transitory states.In "Ceaseless," voices never truly align, but rattle and pulse against each other, only finding congruence amid uneven measures. "Rift" dismantles a single guitar stroke and compounds it's timbres into a complete ensemble of frozen and repeating and random pulses. "Birdsong" becomes completely weightless, stammering through a choking haze of decaying trills. At the end, "Chimera" catalogs a condensed representation of the entire set.Across the ten tracks of Proximate Forms, K. Leimer guides and edits and processes and restates his work to invent a music which has never existed in any single genre. And he arrives again and again at a reliance on and an embrace of the absolute primacy of sound. K. Leimer's Forms project is comprised of three collections emphasizing the free association of voices, pitches, effects, structure, and processing: Proximate, Resting and Muted Forms are scheduled to be issued throughout 2025.
