peejmudd is the instrumental project of Philip Patton, blending cinematic post-rock, neo-classical, and ambient elements to craft evocative soundscapes. Based in Chico, California, Philip has been releasing music under the peejmudd name since 2010, drawing inspiration from artists like Ólafur Arnalds, Lights & Motion, Sigur Rós, and The Album Leaf.
With a focus on emotion-driven melodies and dynamic crescendos, peejmudd’s music invites listeners to reminisce, reflect, and immerse themselves in vivid, introspective worlds. Known for his rich textures and cohesive sound, Philip combines organic instrumentation—such as felt piano and strings—with modern production techniques, creating music that bridges genres.
Over the years, peejmudd has garnered recognition both within the post-rock community and beyond. Tracks like “i remember everything” and “Waking Up” have been shared on Spotify playlists curated by platforms like Ignitearts (UK), TheTroubleNotes (Germany), and Reza Safinia (US). His work has also been featured in online outlets, including “Flashback 2015: Post-Rock List” on ItDjents.com, and “Best of Post-Rock November 2013” on Droox Mixes YouTube Channel
Philip’s music has received honorable mentions in both the Unsigned Only Music Competition and the Indie International Songwriting Competition for tracks from his 2021 album, when you find my body, call me by my name.
In addition to his solo work, Philip has collaborated extensively, playing keyboards and programming for Eric Toledo’s projects, including The Black Penguins and the experimental electronic duo eroctech. These collaborations showcase Philip’s ability to push creative boundaries, blending elements of post-rock and electronic music.
The upcoming album, fight to keep from sinking (March 14, 2025), is an emotional exploration of mental health and resilience. Featuring Sasà De Seta on drums and They Danced Like Programmed Angels, it’s peejmudd’s most collaborative project yet. Tracks oscillate between rhythmic energy and beatless introspection, unified by recurring felt piano motifs, lush strings, and cinematic ambiance.
With a steadily growing discography and a reputation for delivering heartfelt, immersive music, peejmudd continues to resonate with fans around the globe.
