studies on the emotional impact of music mainly concerned with the principled relationship between form and function in evolved animal signals. The songs and improvisational pieces rely on the perceptual effects of controlled tones to re- calibrate the listener’s relationship to natural sound.
Tintin Patrone is a German-Filipino sound and performance artist whose work explores the intersections of music, art, sound, and experimental forms. Her focus is often on the visual aspects of music and how it fosters connections both personally and socially.
Her minimal sound works and long-duration performances are shaped by studies in microtonality and influences from animals that make music, such as the chanting huskies from Canada's Yukon Territory. Her compositions often explore tuning, intonation, and harmonic modulation, moving gradually through sustained tones produced by trombone and various modulation devices.
Collaboration is another key element of Patrone's artistic process. She frequently works with other artists and collectives, fostering an environment of mutual exploration and shared creative inquiry.
Having performed at festivals like Skaņu Mežs (LV), Intonal (SE), Meakusma (BE), Unsafe&Sound (AT), and Lacking Sound Fest (TW), Patrone has become a notable presence within the experimental music scene.
“Intriguing and richly layered, Patrone’s work both live and installed also has a playfulness and transparency that’s utterly compelling. Though complex, her pieces never get consumed by theoretical or academic posturing. It’s disarmingly moving, often raucous, occasionally hilarious in the serendipitous sonic events that occur.”
