Ambient pioneer K Leimer follows soundtracks for How To With John Wilson and a Netflix documentary with filigree interplay of live improv and generative inputs .
Since a revival in interest around his formative ambient recordings of the late ‘70s with Savant, as found on RVNG Intl’s ‘A Period of Review’ and V-O-D’s acclaimed boxset retrospective, K Leimer’s music has continued to flourish in the cracks between ambient, contemporary classical home-listening, and soundtrack forms. ‘LUYU’ or ‘Listen Until You Understand’ sees him ever-refining a systems-based approach of prepared piano, guitars and synthesisers with computer software to see where his imagination might take him.
If we weren’t already informed by the promo, we would have suggested that this music sounds ripe for Netflix, hitting a mark somewhere between custom library music and an AI-emulation generated from prescriptive keywords. The results feel as though they occupy an uncanny valley between human emotion and function, at times crossing across like Oren Ambarchi or The Necks on the post-rock jazz machines of ‘Insistence (The Missing Singer)’, or readied for a lingering shot on ‘Strewn’, while ‘Speech Pattern’ evokes images of machines achieving sentience and ‘Numbering of Laws’ is an off-the-shelf romance cue.
