Paul's music has also been featured in several movies including the Troma and Astron-6 collaboration Father's Day at the 2011 Toronto After Dark, The Editor at the 2014 Toronto Film Festival and Driven To Succeed, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival this year.

Paul has also composed and recorded music for a diverse array of companies including the National Aquarium in Baltimore, the Merriweather Post Pavilion, Animal Planet and Constellation Energy. He has also contributed close to 100 tracks of original compositions to Clean Cuts, a creative agency that provides music for commercial purposes.

Paul Joyce has been playing music since he was a teenager with a mullet. He has written for, recorded, and played live music in diverse musical projects including funk, rock, jazz, and hardcore punk bands for the past 20 years. Through his active participation in the New York and Baltimore music scenes he has forged working relationships with professional and classically trained musicians who contribute to his work. As a result, he has the ability to realize his musical ideas employing unique instrumentation. His DIY aesthetic employs both analog and digital technology to create what is most appropriate for the project at hand. He has expertise and experience making music from original ideas to editing pieces for specific scenes for a movie. A quick look at his portfolio will demonstrate his ability to create pieces evoking old school aesthetics (70’s and 80’s horror and suspense) to innovative scores and ambient background sound.
