Patrick Farmer is an artist working with composition. He was born
in Beckenham, Kent in 1983, and has moved allover the country
since then. His mother bought him his first drum kit when he was
twelve and eight years later he spent six months in India studying
Hindustani Tabla with Pandit Nayan Ghosh. Still most often
referred to as a percussionist, though he hasn’t performed on a
drum kit for nearly four years, Farmer will commonly enlist the
help of a drum or turntable to act as a resonator for natural
materials or filtering field recordings.Lately he has been using
the motors of a reel to reel player in preparation for his tour
with Stephen Cornford.</p>
He is a founding member of the Set Ensemble, a group based in the UK
dedicated to the performance of experimentalmusic, especially that
of the Wandelweiser group, and co-founded the online record label,
Compost and Height, and Wolf Notes journal, with Sarah Hughes in
2008. As of October 2012 patrick began studying towards his Ph.D at
Oxford Brookes.
