Jean Patier (Arborescence)

My name is Jean Patier. I am Franco-American, 30 years old. I am a musician, a pianist and a music producer. I got a BA in philosophy and then an MA at the California Institute of Integral Studies in Philosophy and Comparative Religion. I am steeped in the tradition of deep listening (Oliveros), soundscape (Schaffer) and the music of Robert Rich and Brian Eno. I now live in rural France where I make music and take care of my homestead where I live with my wife and son.


I am interested in the meeting points of music and sound, which is the seat of the imagination as it seeks to bring sounds into an intelligible unity. My submission album explores that musical ambiguity, seeking to stimulate the listener’s imagination so that the sounds may well up into consciousness as an intimate reality

The Sea Refuses No River: Reflections on Jean Patier’s Visitation

By | Banner, Features, Music Acousmatic, Music Acousmatic music and sonic philosophy, Ambient electroacoustic music, Experimental soundscape composition

In Visitation, Jean Patier leads listeners through sonic ruins where memory, time, and imagination intertwine. Each piece unfolds like a meditative walk through forgotten sanctuaries, where sound becomes scripture and silence breathes. Patier’s lush electro-acoustic textures blur the boundaries between the seen and the heard, the past and the becoming. This is music as contemplation—an aural pilgrimage toward the sea of eternity.
