Two performances in the School of Music, Clothworkers Centenary Concert Hall.

Lee Patterson: Terrain: for amplified objects and devices

Terrain: for amplified objects and devices makes use of the table as an impromptu stage where Patterson will open up and play the often inaudible sound world emitted by otherwise mute devices and objects.

Terrain may or may not feature the amplification and activation of materials ranging from rock chalk to burning nuts and seeds; old cd players and their motors; effervescent salts to amplified springs and vibrating metal to buzzing ampoules.

By approaching sound recording as a form of ear training and research, Lee Patterson (b.1971) has Collaborated with some of today’s most respected experimental musicians and filmmakers. His works have featured on UK TV, BBC Radios 3, 4 and 6, Resonance FM and other radio stations worldwide.
