His choral music has been performed widely and his electronic music and multi-media work has been featured at over fifty concerts and festivals over the last few years. Paul’s works often include hand built instruments that bring kinetic motion into his electronic works through sensors. This concert will feature three pieces performed by Paul. Circumferences for bicycle wheels and Shakuhachi flute features a homemade instrument that uses magnetic sensors to trigger musical sounds from bicycle wheels. The second piece, Pink, is purely electronic and is performed on software written by Paul.
