k. leimer | the useless lesson
The Useless Lesson includes collaborations with Leo Abrahams, (solo artist and guitarist on Brian Eno's Another Day on Earth) Dwight Ashley (Nepenthe artist) and phonographer Anode. The CD is comprised of structured and unstructured pieces juxtaposed to emphasize the importance of recognizing sound as music. The structured pieces are mostly for string trio and are traditional and surface-oriented, placing their emphasis on the interaction of separate voices, set in contrast with collaborative, steady-state and hybrid pieces which are heuristic, synthetic and primarily timbral.
Bold, beautiful and bodacious, effortlessly synergizing such overly-abused categories as ambient, minimalism, pointillism and neo-classical to such a degree as to render those terms meaningless. If Leimer’s latest course of electronic ambrosia doesn't redress the artistic imbalance laid down by the universe, it's proof positive the gods above possess little in the way of taste.
