Auteur
‘Auteur’ is the pseudonym of Midlands (UK) based Producer/Musician Paul Mansell.
Paul’s journey in music began at an early age where he would often try and craft his own instruments out of mostly cardboard and the occasional elastic band, whilst himself and a childhood friend would often record themselves onto cassette tapes doing anything from banging on household items to presenting pretend radio shows for their own amusement. He continued to experiment with making music with random objects and computer programs Ejay and Music until he finally convinced his parents to buy him a guitar at the age of 15.
But despite playing in various pipe dream bands throughout his teen years, it wasn’t until he went to study Music Technology at Stafford College and was introduced to the music of Bibio, Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin, Explosions in the Sky, My Bloody Valentine etc. that Paul’s love for music began to shine through and he began to write music for himself. Now 20 years old Paul has continued studying, writing and producing music with one simple goal in mind; to take the listener somewhere else and hopefully give them the same amazing experiences he has had through music.
