Paul made 2 separate music/video pieces. The 1st, 'Absence' explored the feelings created by deserted children's play parks and their relation to the happiness/unhappiness as experienced by the artist as a child. Held in the small hand built children's theatre hidden away behind the chapel in the castle, and with an accompanying sound collage, all the elements combined to make a memorable, if unsettling experience.

Asylum Experimental Music Album
Paul has released his experimental music album 'Asylum' though his new label Loki Records. Available to download/stream and available on CD. When purchasing the CD through Bandcamp a free download is also included. Below are videos to accompany two tracks. Influenced by the ideology of near stasis used by Eno amongst others in his video paintings. Images shift with a very slow pace in keeping with the experimental and almost fixed tonality of the music. The effect is a creation of space without time.
