patten are an experimental electronic duo signed to Warp Records. It's members are only known as "D" and "A". They have released three albums and five Eps over the course of eleven years:

Albums:

* GLAQJO XAACSSO (pronounced "glack-geut zack-so") (2011)
* ESTOILE NAIANT (2014)
* Ψ (pronounced "Psi") (2016)

Eps:

* Lacuna (2006)
* There Were Horizons (2007)
* EOLIAN INSTATE (2013)
* June 30th (with Hisham Baroocha) (2015)
* Requiem (2017)

Originally, patten was a singular project, with D at the helm. However, after meeting A(who participated in the music video for "Winter strobing") in 2014, patten became a duo, and first performed as a duo at the [=Warp25=] concert, alongside Warp veterans Autechre.

Tropes:
* AnimatedMusicVideo : The music video for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAfetPwWxuE "Epsilon"]], directed by Werkflow.
* IAmTheBand : Before A joined, patten was just D.
* IndecipherableLyrics : On patten's earlier albums, D's voice is either too submerged or pitched down in the mix to be understood.
* MinimalisticCoverArt : The cover of the EOLIAN INSTATE ep is simply a white background with small text at the top.
* MinisculeRocking : "Crown 8vo" from GLAQJO XAACSSO is just over a minute long.
* OdeToYouth : What "Epsilon" seems to/could be about.
* RearrangetheSong : Their remix of Bjork's [[https://soundcloud.com/bjork/stonemilker-patten-rework-1 "Stonemilker"]].
* PhraseSaladLyrics : More noticable in Ψ: ''Folded firmly, ink is a lock, drive shrouded, how'd you see now? ~ Locq''

* {{Sampling}} : Used liberally by D. patten have sampled many things, including:

* SurrealMusicVideo : All of them. Then again unsuprising since they were directed by Jane Easlight. The most notable ones are [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXJp3bVIoP4 "Sonne"]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqt21LtJx6o "Drift"]]
* SpokenWordInMusic : Both D and A have performed in spoken word.
* TextlessAlbumCover : GLAQJO XAACSSO, ESTOILE NAIANT and Ψ.
* VocalTagTeam : On "Yyang", where both A and D..."sing".

* WordSaladTitle: ''Sweet jesus there is alot of it.'' For example, from GLAQJO XAACSSO: "Words Collided", "Blush Mosaic" and "Ndi Bem". See also: "Spaghetti Tree Harvest", "LL2" and "Yyang".

** In the past, D has sung on his previous albums-they're just buried in the mix and are also sometimes pitched down to incomprehensible levels.
