Each track of Weighted Room is shaped by multiple generations, arrangements, and voicing of the same starting material - drawing audio out of midi and flipping audio back into midi to be repeatedly rewritten, recast, retimed, and re-voiced. "Oddly enough by putting these tracks through dozens of iterations the music more or less determined it's own form. As a result there's way more variety here than is typical of any one collection of my work, but it still holds together as a singular statement" Leimer said. To complete the album Leimer edited, layered, and processed the seven pieces using different parts and passages from all their generations. Some versions contribute as little as a single sound, others form the overall structure, while still other generations play in the foreground, middle ground, or background. The track styles span ambient, dark ambient, new jazz, noise, and new classical with equal focus. As one example, the title track flips the relationship between a lead instrument and the ambient textures that were the original focal point of the music by obscuring it's evolving, granular atmosphere with a more melodic sensibility, asking the listener to give attention to buried aura - emphasizing the inversion of traditional instrumental roles which is the defining characteristic of Weighted Room.Mastered by Taylor Deupree with cover art by Simon Adjiashvili, Weighted Room adds a distinctly new setting to K. Leimer's catalog.
