Paul has sound-designed, composed, and performed music for the theatre productions of Uma Productions [why they invented dancing, NYC International Fringe Festival, Aug. 2003], and Naked Eyed Theatre Company [Nickel and Dimed, Steppenwolf Theatre, Fall 2003]. In the summer of 2004, Paul scored part of the film Brush Fires for the Chicago film company Split Pillow, which was an official selection at film festivals in Seattle, Phoenix, and Philadelphia.

As a producer and arts organizer, Paul is a co-founder and director of the Elastic Arts Foundation (EAF), a non-profit arts organization that operates the experimental music and arts venue Elastic (formerly 3030). Paul collaborates with artists and musicians from Chicago and beyond to present creative and independent performances. In Fall, 2003, Paul began booking and producing ELASTRO, a monthly electro-acoustic music series showcasing local, national, and international improvisers. As an administrator and organizational developer, he is involved in every aspect of the organization, including managing web communications and grant writing.

He has twice been funded by the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs for recording new work, and has performed at the 2004 WNUR Chicago Sounds Jazzfest. He has toured throughout the Mid-West and Northeast US; Sao Paolo, Brazil; as well as throughout Switzerland.
