Patrick Siech

Patrick Siech's process as an electronic music creator could be described as focus and release. Patrick has built an entire Eurorack modular system around the philosophy of letting go of the controls and let the randomness of his machines lead the way – to act more as a listener than a producer or a technician. Many DJs and artists swimming in the deep end of the house and techno pool are often said to be "taking the audience on a journey". Patrick Siech, however, lets his vast array of music equipment take HIM on a journey – as much machine soul as possible with just enough human interference. Instead of acting the part of the bold explorer, Patrick takes on the roll of creative travel reporter, carefully listening, selecting and editing the exceedingly long live takes this approach yields. The result is a musical body full of life, quirks and unpredictability cleverly organized in such a way as to function as a hypnotic and mind-altering force on any dance foor. He begun spinning records in Sweden in the late '90s. Almost 20 years later, this connection and respect for the dance foor is still at the core of Patrick's enterprise.
