'Suspended, broken, distorted, dismantled and reassembled on wavering, shifting timelines, the techniques used in Proximate Forms act as an audio exemplar of Merzbau and Decalcoman ia without a preconceived object. The music seeps through intermittent gaps, hinting at other voices, other structures, other phrases that appear and mutate as they become a part of the whole-or just fall apart. Instruments and tracks are subsumed, manipulated, re-sampled and remade in unbalanced and deep atmospheres in proximities near / far; placements up / down; tones pitched / atonal; paces slow / fast; changes familiar / unpredictable; events percussive / droning; voices dominant / receding-yet still assembling coherent yet transitory states. In 'Ceaseless,' voices never truly align, but rattle and pulse against each other, only finding congruence amid uneven measures. 'Rift' dismantles a single guitar stroke and compounds its timbres into a complete ensemble of frozen and repeating and random pulses. 'Birdsong' becomes completely weightless, stammering through a choking haze of decaying trills. At the end, 'Chimera' catalogs a condensed representation of the entire set. Across the ten tracks of Proximate Forms, K. 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.
