Paul Mercer Profile: Paul Mercer is an Atlanta-based violinist and composer who has been playing for 25 years. As a member of the critically acclaimed neoclassical quintet, The Changelings , he has performed extensively around the country. He grew up playing for coins on the streets and later studied Hindustani music with Afghani Rebab maestro Rafi Akbar Zada. Originally known for his groundbreaking work with baroque pop quintet The Changelings, he has gone on to perform or record with DP3, The Ghosts Project, Moe Tucker (of the Velvet Underground), Zoe Keating, Faith And The Muse, Jill Tracy, Brass Knuckle Surfer and many others. In recent years he has scored a dozen films, including the internationally released Psychopathia Sexualis. His recent minimalist compositional work focuses on texture in sound, a sort of sonic surrealism inspired by the strikingly original voices of particular violins and violas.He has also finished recording an album of avant-garde compositions for small string ensembles called Ghosts. Performs at Anne Rice's annual party "The Queen of the Damned Ball".
