Since 1999, Paul has composed 30+ original scores for award-winning productions.
In 2025, his discography (from 1999 to present day—more than 600 tracks across 60+ releases) was made a permanent part of the British Library’s prestigious Sound & Moving Image collection.
Paul’s 30+ original scores include: the award-winning DAVE STEVENS: DRAWN TO PERFECTION (the film about The Rocketeer creator/artist); the 13-time award-winning SIDNEY & FRIENDS (which Paul also executive produced); Best Original Score award-nominated thriller HIDDEN VALLEY PLACE (music mixed by multiple Grammy winner Sam Okell); and Raindance Film Festival Award-nominated drama EMILY (co-composed with James Bellamy), starring two-time Oscar nominee Felicity Jones and BAFTA nominee Christopher Eccleston, and written & directed by BAFTA nominee Caroline Harvey.
He has composed everything from traditional and neo-classical orchestral scores through to synthwave, metal, rock, pop, and beyond.
Under the alias of Cellarscape his albums include Exo Echo. This features “Failsafe”—the theme song to NBCUniversal’s docu-series BEHIND THE PANEL. The Independent Music Award-nominated Cellarscape album The Act Of Letting Go contains “The Same Place”, a duet with Anneke van Giersbergen, and “Epinephrine”—its music video (written/directed by Paul) was officially selected for SXSW.
His instrumental project is Aptøsrs (pronounced “apatosaurus”). The critically acclaimed debut album Elders is out now, mixed by Adam Noble (Biffy Clyro, Paul McCartney), and mastered by Grammy Award nominee Robin Schmidt (Royal Blood, Wolf Alice).
Other musical collaborations include Love Amongst Ruin (the band of former Placebo drummer Steve Hewitt), as the featured artist on their song “Detonation Days”.
