K, Leimer is a American electronic composer and musician. He has been active since the mid-70s, and has released avantgarde and experimental music under his own name, as well as leading the group Savant, primarily on his own Palace of Lights imprint. Kerry Leimer was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and his family moved to Chicago in his childhood. In 1967 the family moved to Seattle, where he began making experimental music, using inexpensive instruments and magnetic tape manipulation. His more recent work is largely ambient, often tonal, textured and using prepared piano, guitars and synthesizers.
