Interview with Patrick Blake
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Advertisement, digital and broadcast graphics, 3D visuals, illustration and energetic animations.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Self-learning.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: High-spec desktop computer, three screens because I'm cool, laptop for spill over render work, studio speakers for pumping out the jams and a load of house plants.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Tame Impala, Run the Jewels, Meshuggah
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Low-fi, alt-rock, trip-hop, RnB
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Energising the artist's music further by boosting the key emotions of the track.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Classical Art training background that now underpins much more clean/modern stylised design and character work.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Typically more time in the planning stage than the execution, though both are vital. Then when production's underway I always work listening to the artist's tracks.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: Politics degree -> Musician -> Fine Artist -> Music Video Director -> Motion Designer/Artist. Never believed that life should be a straight line. I've been at this for 8 years.
