NYC Native Paul Brill first began writing songs in northern Vermont,
wood-shedding and 4-tracking while holed-up in a bleak, rustic cabin.
After a few light-deprived winters, Paul sold his belongings and fled for
sunny western shores, dabbling in brief stints as an herbal smokes
salesman, street performer, valet, corporate errand boy,
and marine biology instructor. From his western base, Paul performed
extensively across the U.S. and Canada and was soon lured
home to NYC, his compositions similarly taking striking new turns.
In addition to several CDs of his adventurous songwriting,
Paul has also composed music for several films, the theme for a
NPR program, TV programs, and various network TV commercials. Paul’s
original score for the award-winning HBO feature documentary,
The Trials of Darryl Hunt, was hailed by Variety as
“memorably chilling, sounding notes of purest dread.”
New films scored by Paul Brill include: “The Devil Came on
Horseback,” "Full Battle Rattle," "Do No Harm,"
“Pindemonium,” “2K3,” and “Kaleidoscope.” He also
recently completed work on the National Geographic
original film, "The Science of Evil." This fall, Young American Recordings
released his acclaimed soundtrack to “The Trials of Darryl Hunt.”
Further recognition for Paul’s work includes First Place for
in the 2004 International Songwriting Competition.
