Patrick Richardson spent birth through high-school in Tulsa OK, from which he moved east seeking taller buildings and wider mind-openings. After studying psychobiology and running live sound concerts in the bubble of a music-conservatory college, he moved (further east) to Philadelphia, taking up graduate studies in signal-processing, interaction, and informatics for music. The outreach initiatives between music and STEM curriculum brought him to teach collegiate media arts and design, with a focus on applied physics, electronics, software scripting, and physical computing.

In his free(r) time, Patrick plays acoustic- and electronic drums (for anyone), grows food (for himself), repairs electronic music hardware (for himself and others) and develops music software (for others)
