Fueled by 150 bananas, Paul Cheese has cycled across the UK in search of as many sounds as he can find. The result? A soundtrack that embodies the diversity of the British Isles. Featuring crop sprinklers, basketballs, power stations and an ice cream van, this is the story of how over 11,000 sounds became 1 incredible song. Paul Cheese is a musician, music producer and sound artist based in Lamberhurst, Kent.He can be found in front of his mixing desk working with top recording artists at the studio, on stage performing solo or with his band. Or on a bicycle carrying 45kg of recording equipment on the hunt for inspirational places to write and record music. He has written and recorded in locations around the world, from the tops of mountains, to deep underground, the Grand Canyon, to the Australian bush, ice caves to pill-boxes, old places, new places and even underwater.When not at his studio or on stage, Paul works with individuals who have an acquired brain injury, implementing creative approaches aimed at fostering positivity and on developing cognitive function and creative music experiences.
