There is an immediacy with synths and guitars you just don't get with the PC I also have air conditioning installed, as I tend to get very warm on my medication, combined with all the electronic equipment.

Paul's synths, controllers and PC have all been arrayed within arms reach to make the music-making experience more comfortable: these include the Roland System-8, a beastly polysynth that packs sounds from the Juno-106, Jupiter-8, JX-3P and more into a strikingly backlit shell, and the Yamaha Genos, an instrument we singled out as the best arranger/performer keyboard on the market in our guide to the best electronic keyboards.
Paul is a media composer and former music teacher working from a home studio that's been designed to accommodate challenges presented by his disabilities.
