Originally coming from improvised music (drums), Leichtmann dedicated himself to electronic music from 1998 onwards. He has made a name for himself with various collaborations and projects in the realm of minimal and experimental music. Leichtmann’s modern version of minimal music has strong connections to dub, ambient and club music.
His solo project is called “Static” and he is a member of the bands “Groupshow” (with Jan Jelinek and Andrew Pekler) and “Denseland” (with David Moss and Hannes Strobl). Leichtmann has been working with sound archives since 2013. For his penultimate work "Nouvelles Aventures" he got a work and research scholarship of the city of Berlin in the field of new music/sound art.
