A Zelig?like figure in Manchester’s musical story, Paddy Steer is a multi?instrumental shape?shifter whose talents have touched bass, drums, Hawaiian guitar and more, often all at once. His long?running Homelife project produced six albums of intricate, wonder?filled music, brewed in his attic and brought to the stage as a small, ever?evolving orchestra.
Paddy is a quietly obsessive craft?maker, building instruments as much as he plays them. His recordings have a cartoon?like density, full of homemade textures, vivid colours and oddball inventions, like a cuckoo clock rebuilt from egg boxes and cosmic circuitry.
