Biography words |
Paul loves to be inspired by
non-western music schools,
i.e.: Music and the Art of
Seduction, Amsterdam School
of Cultural Analysis, Bake
Society for Ethnomusicology,
International Chime meeting;
Increasingly Paul is intrigued to
work with different disciplines
and to incorporate those in the
composing process.
Paul is also inspired by early music, especially when vocal. However, the current composer generation, striving after a serene
simplicity full of eloquence is also a huge source of inspiration for him. Yet he is not afraid to express himself in a lyrical way in his
work as well. ‘A musician should also be able to feel his instrument fully, an interesting story is not enough', as Paul often says.
His work often has a poetic character.
His oeuvre comprises over forty musical pieces, for solo instruments, chamber ensembles and orchestras.
