Paul Stillwell
Paul Stillwell has had a number of careers. He has been a composer, computer professional, software developer and the proprietor of several small businesses, in fields ranging from furniture refinishing to the distribution of objets d'art.
As a composer, he favours an accessible style, often tonal and melodic. Most of his music is electronic, often for computer-controlled MIDI synthesizers. Many of his pieces have been distributed internationally by software publishers as outstanding examples of the capabilities of their music software.
Mr. Stillwell is one of a growing network of on-line composers in many countries. This has allowed him to collaborate on compositions with composers whom he has never met and may well never meet but with whom he shares a musical aesthetic. Paul is a founding member of the SoundCanvas User's Group. A group on the Internet which is dedicated not only to publishing quarterly archives of original music (MIDI files), but also to helping other composers get the most out of their SoundCanvas.
