Gentle beings, we are entering the world of the ambient, atmospheric, downtempo, and sublime. Transcend at your leisure. [cover Rachika Nayar]

Third State

'Found Objects' is the umpteenth album from the prolific composer, assembled after almost a year of experimentation with studio serendipity. Built around glitchy recordings of piano, synthesizer and strings, it's a cloudy collection of whimsical ambience that reminds of Taylor Deupree or Machinefabirek, but retains a particularly individual sense of purpose. When skeletal drums appear on 'Opulent Lyricism' there's a breath of The Remote Viewer's City Center Offices material and that's no bad thing at all. Lovely. -- BOOMKAT

Boomkat Product Review:
Ambient pioneer K. Leimer dissolves stripped down solo piano in studio illusions on his most vulnerable and personal side in memory. Like a still life painted in sound, warmly recommended fans of Brian Eno, The Boats, Stephen Mathieu
