Lee Patterson & Pak Yan Lau
In May of 2023, Pak Yan Lau and Lee Patterson met and played for the first time together in Manchester. This meeting brought out their similar interest of listening and sound treatments, but different approaches to execution and projection. Pak Yan felt a direct kinship to the way Lee was processing his ‘invisible’ sounds, like the chemical reaction of chalk in water or the footsteps of an ant. Pak Yan and Lee aim to meet in a sound space and trace common and uncommon grounds, categorizing each sound into an eclectic system.
