An early member of George Maciunas\' art group Fluxus. Patterson was one of the members with prior musical training, his instrument being the double bass, and probably the only black member of Fluxus. He was an important performer in early Fluxus concerts, and has written many performance and musical pieces. However, it was not until the 21st century when recordings of his music have slowly started to appear.
