Artist History Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Paul now lives in Middlesbrough, Cleveland, England. He has had classical and rock experience and now spends his time composing and creating new works. Late teens and early 20s found him composing pieces with friends, eventually joining a band, which led to concerts and albums. At this time the punk era was born, but the band remained rock-influenced, although borrowing some of the energy! From the early 70s to the mid 80s, two albums were made with the band - called Giantkiller - in Pasadena, USA, and one in Pity-Me, County Durham. For three months in 1995-a pivotal year, he wrote songs and instrumental works, his paths also crossing with a record producer/publisher and they agreed on an instrumental album. Over the next four years the album was finished. Relishing the studio environment, he found that new technology suited the present day composer down to the ground, especially with a Hi-tech home studio.

Albums Imagination

Press Reviews Crossrythms Magazine comments: 'this instrumental album reflects his skills as a keyboard player.Here we have original music, creativity, thought imagination and a pile of influences coming together to make something new. If you like to relax to instrumental music, this is perfect from the classical influences of the celebratory 'Christmas in Narnia' through the dramatic feel of 'Discovery' to the epic closing piece 'Creation' which is the best section of the recording.

Additional Info Quark II - Paul has used this pseudonym to write under at times for more contemporary material. It doesn't have any deep meaning, although his interest in sub-atomic particles may have influenced the name!?
