"Gre∆tness"

"Greatness is not a function of circumstance. It is largely a matter of choice and discipline." 

Looking up at the sky all I see is triangles.

All the stars live in the cities, no light in the sky, just reflections of what we've been taught.  

Huge inaccuracies in our education mean that we tell a tainted story of love. 

Dominion belongs to the people and power is not a struggle. 

Perseverance and consistency, a lifestyle of success and a journey of truth that can only be told by the great. 

be distinguished, be eminent

-Live Enigmanic

Non omnes qui habemt citharam sunt citharoedi

music makes the world go round, listen to the sound.

a wave, pitch perfect, audible for your ears to see your eyes to hear.. your body to feel the vibration,

what frequency are you on?

seeing sounds is as real as hearing visions so lets do away with these senses and touch what doesn't belong to us, everything.

i am one and we are all.. 

aliens don't exist but the truth is not the answer, for it is the beginning of where the story began.. not his story or her story but my story,

the story of music, the one that makes the wheels on the bus go round and round, listen to the sound!

The PSM on Countdown and Facebook

Apart from making the odd appearance on afternoon television ;-)

After three years of deliberation I made the valiant decision of joining Facebook. I guess its been a long time coming, and after watching The Social Network Movie I didn't really have a choice in the matter. Although I must say, I am going to miss people looking at me like i'm an alien when I tell them i'm not on Bookface, lol.

If you're on Facebook and we've met before, search my name: Pauli.... and whilst you're at it, be sure to hit me up on my music page by searching The PSM.

Happy social networking.. see you online, PSM x

Celebrating the Past

“It's always good to remember where you come from and celebrate it. To remember where you come from is part of where you're going.” - Anthony Burgess

With this in mind, I present to you where I was 5 years ago, in 2005 as the UK's Young Drummer of the Year. The below video shows me on one of my first solo TV performances at 16 years old. It was the first time that I really felt anyone was making a fuss over me as I remember Peter Werth and a bunch of other designers asking me to wear their clothes and stick their logo's on my bass drum as this was a great advertising opportunity for them.

I remember composing the track in my bedroom the night before the show and going into the BBC studios clutching this CD with one track that I had never actually ever played along to. Later that day discovering that there were no foldback monitors available until 5 mins before the live broadcast, meaning I wasn't going to be able to work out a routine or even test sound levels.

Following the success of this performance I was then invited to come back and play live on BBC Xchange, CBBC Level Up, News Round and BBC Radio 6. I formed a good relationship Richard Marson, who at that time was the Executive Producer and Editor in Chief of Blue Peter, he saw potential in me as a broadcaster and allowed me to come back to do work experience on a number of different shows.

In reflection, these experiences were the starting points of my interest in the fusion of music and multimedia through broadcast; Without them, I would not be The PSM, I am today and The PSM that I will be in the future.. I am The PSM.

Thanks for reading.
