Patrick Hartono

Dr. Patrick Hartono's creative process integrates technology and computational methodologies to explore disciplines such as electroacoustic music, generative visuals, NIME, and creative machine learning

His works fuse traditional Indonesian instruments, computer-generated sounds, visuals, and field recordings, crafted through mathematical principles, real-time interactions, and controlled randomness, resulting in immersive sonic and audiovisual experiences. In his audiovisual practice, he explores what he calls audiovisual synthesis — integrating visual synthesis, generative processes, and visual manipulation akin to acousmatic music with video materials, aiming to explore the notion of added value, where the coexistence of sonic and visual elements generates perceptual value for each other.

Beyond his artistic practices, Patrick contributes to the field of computer music, serving as a board member for the International Computer Music Association (ICMA) and the Australasia Computer Music Association.

His works have been featured at international festivals and conferences worldwide, including ICMC, YCMF, WOCMAT, Sound Bridge Festival, ZKM, IRCAM, NYCEMF, Sound Image, ACL, Gaudeamus, Sonorities Festival (SARC), ACMC, BEAST, CCRMA (Stanford), KEAMSAC, NIME, iiicon (Harvard), Ars Electronica, and many more.
