“Part of the early independent music movement that started in the late 1970s, K. Leimer and his label Palace Of Lights occupies a special and respected niche among electronic, experimental and ambient genres. His work is included in the Cherry Red Noise Floor compilation series and his early cassette work is featured in the critically acclaimed VOD box set American Cassette Culture.
"I've always wanted to produce an album centered on the muted depth of sadness the piano offers, and this is almost that."
In nearly all his music, Leimer has relied on the density and layering of multiple timbres and voices to shape his compositions. With very few exceptions all the voicing on Atrophies for Piano originates from piano. Composed and recorded over a two-year period, the atrophies occupy sparse, gap-filled stillness, disassembled melody and patterns, and fluctuating, uncertain drones. Aided occasionally by treated strings, each piece seeks out edges of imminent collapse and harmonic decay. Six dark New Classical settings populate an atrophied sonic landscape possessed by an energetic melancholy.”
