About Me

Following a degree in architecture and graduate studies in piano and composition, Paul's 3rd person bio continues internationally with Sydney funk band 'Skunkhour', through three albums for Acid Jazz, Sony and Universal. Along the way he does freelance architecture work and various music/film/theatre projects.He writes soundtracks for award-winning movies and TV shows, most recently scoring James Cameron's 'Last Mysteries of the Titanic'. He spent most of last year producing music for developing independent artists. He shoots his first short film on a phone, screening at the inaugural Newtown Flicks Film Festival where he is asked to speak on a panel of directors. He plays keyboards and sings with a number of prominent Australian artists, and is making a music documentary. While working on albums with Jeff Duff, K1Shah and Eon Beats, with several film scripts in development, and a liver cleanse looming, he becomes involved with a group of bikers in Verona, who despite the makeup and rampant insecurities, offer him him guns, drugs, and various sexual preferences across Europe. He must battle a sinister character arc through cities with short doorways before he emerges to find his true calling, his love of the bush and a snapshot 'moment of grace' flash introspection of boulders and hanging rocks in the national park looming through venetian blinds on the window to his right. He likes to cook seafood, and enjoys an occasional afternoon with Jane Austen.

My Backyard

Hey, for anyone who's interested, I'm at this moment rendering out my first film.It's called "My Backyard", and it's a very convoluted look at what it means to belong to a place, based around the bush...
