Patrick Drake

Patrick Drake, known artistically as time8machine, fuses hip hop, physics, and philosophy into a sound that’s as intellectually charged as it is emotionally raw. A physics student at ASU Online with a background in philosophy, Patrick’s music is deeply influenced by his research into consciousness, neural networks, and cosmological mysteries like dark matter and dark energy. He explores how unseen forces—whether in the brain or the universe—shape our reality, turning complex theories into lyrical landscapes.

After surviving two open-heart surgeries and experiencing what he describes as a transcendent encounter with an “angel,” Patrick’s sense of purpose took a powerful turn. That moment now pulses through every verse: a quiet intensity, a call to explore the hidden structures of mind and matter.

Through time8machine, he doesn’t just make music—he builds sonic worlds. Each track is a bridge between the scientific and the spiritual, the personal and the universal. His beats carry questions, his rhymes reflect inner dimensions, and his sound dares listeners to go deeper. This is more than music—it’s a vessel for truth, healing, and discovery.
