Patrice Scanlon is an electronic musician, dancer, and clarinetist working in the San Francisco Bay Area. As an undergraduate student, Patrice studied clarinet, composition and digital arts at Stetson University in Deland, Florida. She later earned an MFA in Electronic Music from Mills College in Oakland, CA where she focused her musical experiments with dancers, choreographers, and other musicians.

Scanlon often works collaboratively, recently composing music with Fred Frith (on The Happy End Problem and Imitations) for Amanda Miller’s The Pretty Ugly Dance Company in Freiburg, Germany. When beginning a new work, Patrice uses field recordings, studio recordings and synthesizers, which are transformed through time stretching, modulation and distortion until the ultimate timbre is achieved. As a dancer, Patrice is always searching to create musical rhythms that teeter between the familiar and the unfamiliar.

Patrice teaches in Digital Audio Workstations and Audio Post Production at Ex’pression, and is also the Technical Director of the Intermedia Arts Program at Mills College.
