…aka Paul Schütze. Born in 1958 in Melbourne - where he lived intermittently until relocating to the UK in 1992 - Schütze's earliest experience of making music was much like that of any kid growing up in the early 70s. As a mid-teenager, inspired by the music he was following avidly (Krautrock, Asian classical music, prog, early fusion…) he played in a high-school space rock covers band. A minor biographical footnote, perhaps, but Schütze's choice of instrument was telling, in that he didn't really opt for an "instrument" at all, but a primitive echo chamber. Two decades later, much of it spent playing both percussion and keyboards, Schütze remains embarrassed at the description "musician", feeling that it should be strictly reserved for players who've spent years of study honing their craft, and openly admits that his use of any musical instrument is entirely a means to a compositional end.

On leaving high school Schütze spent time playing percussion and electronics - again, truly his passion until this day - in all kinds, and any number, of live jazz, improv and experimental settings. But probably the biggest influence on his future work at this time was his decision in 1979 to go travelling, initially in Australia's near-East and then on through India, North Africa and the Mediterranean, eventually winding up in London, where he saw a host of his musical heroes perform live, often - despite their now legendary status - to tiny audiences.
