Paul experimented with creating music from different sounds, producing a rendition of O Canada using only Canadian animal sounds during the Vancouver 2010 Olympics. In 2014, he created an innovative musical Junk! The Musical, Paul composing music performed by his 10-person orchestra with instruments he invented from recycled junk. The remounting of this show in 2015 was called The Music of Junk which toured large theatres in British Columbia between 2015 and 2018.
The multi-media musical theatre show Orchestra of Sound is Paul’s latest project, composing music using hundreds of sounds. This one-man show premiered at the Vancouver Fringe Festival in 2023 and premiered internationally at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2024.
