Patrick Flannery’s (they/them) music explores extremes without hesitation. Their patterned and inquisitive soundscapes are unafraid, diving deep into the darkest trenches of sound, or soaring above in the most incandescent of atmospheres, always harnessing each performer’s most transcendent features. Fascinated with unique modes of expression and storytelling, their music embraces community and continually expresses queerness.
