Resting Forms is the second set of collected tracks in K. Leimer's Forms series. While adhering to the same process used for Proximate Forms, these pieces tend to settle into slightly calmer, more meditative states. Bathed in lush timbres, smooth harmonic distortion set in wavering, modulated soundstages, the music is at once evolving and still.Pare closes the album as the clearest example of the guiding principle of Resting Forms: to reduce every aspect of the audio to some granular minimum. As the title implies, Periphery keeps it's distance, refusing to coalesce or adhere to a center. Limn properly provides the barest outlines of a construct while Littoral evokes a more fluid state, perhaps referencing the watery calms of a Neu! Track. All the while the instruments shift their character, moving in and out of their original state reaching for the remote and the recognizable, for distortions and deformations.Leimer sought to explore and manipulate sampled acoustic instruments in ways that find a balance between the original source and it's reinvented self. The Resting Forms began by using a more traditional compositional approach - shared meter; chromatic settings; melodic gestures. All were present at the outset, then dismantled, reimagined, reevaluated, and reassembled. Across the nine tracks of Resting Forms 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.
