When Paul is not working as a music or post production engineer

(and when he's not being Dad) 

He may be
writing stories, making books or short videos. Below are some examples of such works in production. 

They are a labour of love and many are still in production many years after their inception.

This hour long extravaganza is packed full ofwonderful songs and rich dynamic music and sfx. It is as much fun as it is introspective and thoughtful. This is where the heart of the Ridderbint experience lies.

Stage Show

The final resting place for this adventure is on the stage. Using the characters in the story as part of the musical performance, this show will sound and look like no other. It is a long way off from that at the moment. But no doubt it will happen some day in the future.

Tús

 

This is a piece of music Paul wrote and recorded in his studio in Wicklow. As soon as it was articulated Paul took to the hills to shoot the video for it. It is about the space before the inception of an idea. The space before birth. Colm O Snodaigh ok Kila was kind enough to sing some words in Irish over the music.
