"...As a rigorous listener, Gallagher has observed a multitude of sonic vocabularies in a relatively rearview acknowledgement of contemporary sound production and distilled them succinctly in his latest offering for Enmossed, titled “e.78”. Gallagher showcases his attention to detail and devotion to the craft of synthesis over two side long sections on the LP. It is clear that Gallagher is aware of how to situate his listening and furthering of the conversation around computer music in a post Peter Rehberg world by balancing sonic tropes from a golden era output of labels like Editions Mego, Entr’acte, Presto!?, or IDEAL. Tactfully, he showcases his ability to parcel distinct moments of clarity and sonic obfuscation. His abstractions are intentional, his ambience exacting, and his chaos undeterred..."

Patrick Gallagher is a sound artist currently based in Philadelphia, PA (US). With a formal education in mathematics, Gallagher employs generative/algorithmic processes, guided improvisation, and intuitive sound collage in an effort to weave evocative and evolving sonic narratives. Exploring the various developments of 20th century composition and contemporary computer music, he seeks to fuse that technicality with the cathartic and rapturous nature of the DIY noise underground.

Previous works employed a wide range of sound sources - synthesizers, field recordings, tabletop guitar, etc. - however, Gallagher currently focuses almost entirely on digital synthesis, particularly additive and granular techniques.

Gallagher has released albums on cassette and vinyl through ENXPL (enmossed x Psychic Liberation), Hot Releases, Refulgent Sepulchre, Tone Log, and other independent labels.
