Drift Flaw Biography
Patrick Cheatham began Drift Flaw solely composing at the computer and allowing the computer to do all the performing and combination. Patrick is a Master of Science of Aeronautical Engineering, is a former Strike Eagle fighter pilot, and is a self-taught Software Engineer, who gravitates toward the synthesizers, samplers, and audio processing. Patrick's music often defies genre - sounding like fusions of Techno, Metalcore, Dance, Symphonic, and New Age. Drift Flaw album themes often respect such issues as natural processes, wellness & wholeness, and vitality & personal liberty. Flaw? Flaws from impossible perfection abound, and lend character to everything. Our flaws and the flaws in things are what we are made of - making us human. Deviation from perfect standardization provides uniqueness to all, and allows us to deviate from the rut. There are exceptions to every rule, and every rule is an exception to every other rule. Yielding, flexibility, elasticity, fluidity, and forgiveness are imbued in physics and the nature of our personal flaw.
