Release Notes:
______________________________________________________________________________
Clem Leek is a UK based composer and multi-instrumentalist (piano, violin,
guitar, and various other instruments). He studied at Bath Spa University and
earned a Creative Arts degree; following it up with a Masters in Music
Composition. He finds inspiration among his neo-classical contemporaries such as
Max Richter, Keith Kenniff, Nils Frahm, Peter Broderick and Dustin OÆHalloran as
well as minimalist pioneers Steve Reich and Philip Glass.
HeÆs released music on various labels including his own label Schedios (ôThrough
The Annularö), Experimedia (ôSnow Talesö), Hibernate (ôHolly Laneö, ôA Letterö)
and Brian Records (ôThe Planö). He also appears on the compilation ôFor Nihonö
on Keith Kenniff Æs Unseen Music imprint. ClemÆs latest output, full length
album ôLifenotesö, will be released on Drifting Falling.
ôLifenotes is a combination of old and new pieces, each one is very close to my
heart. I wanted to keep the album very basic and raw. In my previous cdÆs (Holly
Lane especially) my emphasis was on creating rich and dense soundworlds. For
this cd it was all about getting back to basics and recording pieces that were
simple, which happens to be my best way of writing.ö
ClemÆs writing process varies. When asked about it he said, ôI am not one for
sticking to structures so I tend to write quite freely. Sometimes I write it
down and sometimes not. For piano material I tend to sit down and just
improvise, but for more complex soundscaping or for pieces that require more
attention to the production side I use Logic & Ableton live, plugins and
effects.ö
