Scott
Paulson is an award-winning soundscape artist who has been heard on
radio, television and film. His own performance ensemble, The
Teeny-Tiny Pit Orchestra, provides live music and sounds for silent
film screenings, ballet productions, radio dramas, operas, and
theatrical productions.
At many of his live shows, Paulson asks the
audience to assist: Strike a thundersheet! Play on exotic wooden birdcalls! Roll out an elegant harp glissando! Play on a real
Theremin, if you dare!
In addition to his slapstick and
experimental music activities, Paulson is an orchestral oboist, and also is the University Carillonneur
at UC San Diego, performing live on Geisel Library's rooftop chimes (yes, he
takes song requests!)
Scott serves as the Outreach
Coordinator for the UCSD Arts Library for which he founded and directs
various festivals: The Short Attention Span Chamber Music Series, the
annual Toy Piano Festival, The Not-So-Silent Film Festival, and a Paper
Theatre Festival. Look for Scott this holiday season at the Old Town
Theatre when he reprises his award-winning on-stage role as Sam the
sound effects man at Cygnet Theatre’s radio drama re-enactment of It’s
A Wonderful Life.
"...an avant-garde vaudevillian. Think Samuel Beckett meets John Cage." More
