music that reconjures how stories are told through live, experiential, and digital performance.
Defined by the collision of the ancient and the modern and underpinned by a passion for collaboration, Paul’s music has been seen across North America, Africa, Europe, East Asia, and Australia.
Among his works are the award-winning musical The Fountain with Namoo Chae Lee; Repast, a series of interactive musical installations about the interconnectedness of nature and memory; and The Percipients, a mixed reality exploration of the Bigfoot phenomenon with Sibyl Kempson.
