Electroacoustic Composer, Audiovisual Artist, Researcher in Interactive Music and Performance
Patrick's creative process integrates technology and scientific methodologies, exploring disciplines like 3-D sound spatialization, analog/digital synthesis, psychoacoustics, creative machine learning, and visual music. His compositions fuse traditional Indonesian instruments, computer-generated sounds, visuals, and field recordings, crafted through mathematical principles, real-time interactions, and controlled randomness, resulting in immersive sonic experiences.
Beyond his artistic practices, Patrick contributes to the field of computer music, serving as a board member for the International Computer Music Association (ICMA) and the Australasia Computer Music Association.
His works have been featured at international festivals and conferences worldwide, including ICMC, YCMF, WOCMAT, Sound Bridge Festival, ZKM, IRCAM, NYCEMF, Sound Image, ACL, Gaudeamus, Sonorities Festival (SARC), ACMC, BEAST, CCRMA (Stanford), KEAMSAC, NIME, iiicon (Harvard), Ars Electronica, and many more.
