Paul Beauchamp began his musical career at the base of the Appalachian Mountains in the early 90s experimenting with tape loops, field recordings, found objects and improvised instruments. His interest in sonic manipulation and experimentation has taken Beauchamp from the aforementioned tape loops and field recordings into the world of synthesis and computer generated music as well as further research into acoustic sources such as musical saw and Appalachian Dulcimer, instruments he now uses in his performances as a solo artist in addition to several international theatrical and musical projects in addition to playing with the groups Almagest!, Blind Cave Salamander, Coypu groups that have formed as a consequence of his relocation to Turin, Italy.

During the course of these events Beauchamp has had the opportunity to collaborate with a myriad of influential musicians in the studio, live and improvised composition including Johann Johannsson, Colin Potter, Steve Stapleton, Jochen Arbeit, Fabrizio Modonese Palumbo and Julia Kent. In 2015 Beauchamp’s first full length solo album, Pondfire, was released jointly by Boring Machines, Old Bicycle Records and Neon Produzioni and has received very positive reviews.
