Musician Profile: Sounds Like PDM

Patrick Deese, Sounds Like PDM

Growing up overseas, shortwave radio broadcasts were a gateway to the world beyond, sparking a lifelong fascination with enigmatic sounds and coded messages.

 

SIGNAL INTERCEPTION, a six-year endeavor, draws inspiration from these Cold War-era transmissions, blending electronic compositions with authentic shortwave samples, flutters, and static bursts.

 

Utilizing a range of instruments—from the Moog Subphatty and Teenage Engineering OP-1 to the Korg SV-1 and a myriad of guitar pedals—the album crafts a soundscape reminiscent of artists like Pink Floyd, DJ Spooky, and Joy Division.

 

Designed as a cohesive listening experience, SIGNAL INTERCEPTION invites you to immerse yourself fully, echoing the albums that shaped my musical foundation.
