Why is Paul Blogging?

Well, good, I'm glad you asked. The short answer is: I have stuff in my head. It wants to get out.

The long answer is that, having stepped out of a job that previously took all of my time, I now find myself with enough time to actually think. And what I've mainly been thinking about is Art. Improvisation in Art to be exact. I have been getting back in touch with all the things that I missed for so long while we were just trying to avoid financial ruin in the Bay Area. I've been painting, taking pictures, doing some sound art, going to improv comedy classes, dance classes, audio documentary classes. Basically filling the tank again after running on empty for so long. And now, for better or for worse, I'm going to write about it. Oh, and a bunch of other random stuff will appear here as well. Cheers.

Click here to hear some sound art. This piece is called "Internal Combustion" and is made up entirely of the sounds of tractor engines. Enjoy.

Click here to listen to my first shot at an audio documentary. the piece is called "Naked Barbies and Deflated Basketballs" and is about collectors.
