The story behind the sound
Originally from South Africa, Paul Ressel has established himself as an award-winning composer, mixer, and producer in London. Paul studied Music Theory and Piano, but his musical path towards being a professional was kickstarted by Aphex Twin’s “Windowlicker” because it displayed how effective a computer can be in creating music. As a producer, Paul has worked with renowned artists such as Lana Del Rey, Scratch (The Roots), and Maxi Jazz (Faithless) as well as his own band Vuvuvultures. As a composer, Paul has collaborated with global brands including MTV, National Geographic, Discovery Channel and Ford producing bespoke compositions for films, documentaries, and advertisements. In his spare time, he creates samples as a sound designer and builds instruments.
