About peejmudd

In the vast, quiet landscapes of Northern California, where the ancient redwoods meet the rugged coastline, Philip Patton creates music as peejmudd. It’s a sound that feels born of its surroundings: expansive, textured, and deeply cinematic. More than just songs, these are soundscapes for the soul, instrumental journeys that map the internal worlds of anxiety, hope, and healing.

A classically trained pianist who later found his voice in the layered melodies of guitar textures and strings, Patton has been crafting his unique blend of Cinematic Post-Rock, Neo-Classical, and Ambient since 2010. His work is a study in patience and beauty, allowing melodies to unfold slowly and build into powerful emotional crescendos. Without a single word, peejmudd’s music tells complex stories, inviting listeners to find their own meaning in the evocative swells of synthesizers and reverb-drenched guitar.

This music is a direct reflection of Patton’s own life. For him, the act of creating is a necessary outlet, a way to process and navigate the world. This is perhaps most evident in his latest album, fight to keep from sinking, a raw and honest narrative of his personal struggles with long-term mental and physical health issues. It’s a project that finds strength in vulnerability, offering a sense of solidarity to anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed.

As peejmudd, Philip Patton offers more than just an escape. He offers a space for reflection. It’s the kind of music that accompanies you through the fog, a reminder that even in the quietest moments, you are not alone.
