About Me

Paul Mayden here. Chief Entertainment Officer of the band Civita, of which my principle duties include writing music, playing guitar and playing bass. I also used to hold a similar position as Chief Science Officer for Abney Park aboard the good ship Ophelia. My duties aboard ship included conversion of "appropriated" vessels, weapons design, various inventions that incorporate lots of gears and pipes and cool shiny things, and the laying down of the groovy bass lines. Check out both of my endeavors and stay tuned for all of my adventures!See: http://www.civitaband.com http://www.abneypark.com
