K. Leimer - Found Objects (2021)

Influential Seattle-based ambient visionary Kerry Leimer returns with a crackly set of homespun electronics and placid ambience.

'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.
