BIOGRAPHY
If you took a DNA sample of Beck, David Byrne, and Cole Porter and genetically engineered
a single human being, then locked that person into a room with a sampler and a couple
of synthesizers, you might end up with someone like Pauly J. But if you ever asked
Pauly if that sounded like an accurate description of what he did he would deny
every bit of it.
Instead he would compare himself to a cross between Bartok going jiggy, Thelonious
Monk on sedatives, and Cat Stevens teaming up with the Neptunes. This too would
be less than accurate, but yet somehow more appropriate.
The Projects
BASS ELEFANT - The band that layed down the instrumental
for The Herd's "77%". The Elefants lie deep in the developmental jungle,
but they are only sleeping... tracks are coming soon.

UPSHOT - Keyboardist, and co-producer with sydney
seven piece hip hop and breaks band. Collaborations included emcee's Sleeping Monk,
Quro, Brass, 13th Son of December, Urthboy and Sereck. Releases were a self titled
EP (Obese Records, 2003) and an album, 'Make It Happen' (Creative Vibes, 2004) and
were co produced with Martin Johannessen and Michael Iveson, and feature the cuts
of DJ Leeroy Brown. Other collaborations saw the backline playing for a theatre
performance at Sydney Festival 2005, as a musical backing for performance poetry
reading, with grooves devised courtesy of yours truly.
AEROSOL - 10 minute short film - Original music
written and produced for a 10 minute futuristic fantasy fight between a factory
worker and an ant. This little wonder showed at fifteen international film festivals
in 2005 and I got to mix in surround sound in a really big studio... wicked... Rumour
has it the director Wojciech is sitting on something big as you read this...

URTHBOY - I produced two tracks on this little beauty,
"Distant Sense of Random Menace" (Elefant Traks 2004). In trying to be
normal I seem to become even stranger...but apparently "Electric Shox"
gets the house jumping...
