Music

Patten began as an electronic music project by a London based musician calling himself D. While running a record label called Kaleidoscope, he released music on on CD-Rs since 2006.[4][5]

The first official patten LP GLAQJO XAACSSO was released in September 2011 through UK label, No Pain in Pop.[3]

In November 2013 patten signed to Warp Records, releasing the EOLIAN INSTATE EP soon after in an edition of 500 12" picture discs, with artwork by frequent visual collaborator Jane Eastlight.[6][7]

February 2014 saw the release of the first LP for Warp, entitled ESTOILE NAIANT.[8][9] In addition to the LP, 2014 saw patten release a number of free remixes of music by other artists on his website, called RE-EDITS.[10][11][12]

In the summer of 2014, patten began to organise musical events at Power Lunches under the moniker 555-5555.[13][2] The lineups featured sets from artists such as Logos, Karen Gwyer, Slackk, SFV Acid, Darkstar, Visionist, Fotomachine and Max Tundra.[14][2]

In collaboration with Hisham Akira Bharoocha,[15] patten contributed to Doug Aitken's Station to Station project, recording an EP of new music created from found sound and improvised percussion onsite at the Barbican Centre.[16]

Furthermore, patten have created several remixes for artists like Giorgio Moroder[17] and Björk.[18]

In September 2016, their third album Ψ (Psi),[19][20] was released with the vocals of a member known as A featuring across the record.

In May 2017, patten released Requiem, a four track digital-only EP.[21]

In November, the 555-5555 agency created a commissioned line of apparel for Dummy magazine.[22]

In June 2018, patten created an online discussion forum.[23][24][25][26][27][28]

Patten has created several audiovisual installations. In January 2018 a patten installation titled ‘3049’ premiered at Tenderpixel gallery in London.[29]

The audiovisual installation ‘CB-MMXVIII (I’ve been thinking of giving sleeping lessons)’ was commissioned and exhibited in December 2018 by Somerset House in London for the Claire Catterall curated exhibition Good Grief, on the enduring influence of Charles Schulz and Peanuts.[30]

So the production of something doesn’t really end with the record, or with the video, or with whatever else it might be. It’s really once this thing finds its way out into the world, that’s when something really begins.’ The work that occurs is two-directional: patten invites the audience to co-create the project, and considers the reception and any thoughts or action that result from that reception an inherent part of it.
