Lee Patterson

Lee Patterson is a British sound artist and improviser based in Prestwich, Manchester. He uses amplified devices and chemical and mechanical processes to draw sound out of things normally heard as silent, from minerals and metal to plants, insects and aquatic life. Recording is central to how he trains his listening, and his work moves between live improvisation, environmental recording, film soundtracks and installation. Patterson has worked with Mika Vainio, Jennifer Walshe, David Toop, John Butcher, Keith Rowe and John Tilbury.
