Paul Rudy is a composer, writer, teacher and life-long student and adventurer. His music has performed around the world and is made of sounds from the cactus of the desert, the kitchen, inside, outback and even occasionally from chamber and orchestral instruments.

In addition to being recognized by his close friends and family, Paul Rudy has received awards from the Fulbright and Wurlitzer Foundations, Bourges Electroacoustic Music Competition, EMS (Sweden), SEAMUS, Meet the Composer, the American Composer’s Forum, SCI, National Music Teacher’s Association and the Missouri Music Teacher’s Association. He has done a lot of work to promote the music of living composers including curating concerts throughout South American and Europe. Paul lectures widely on sound in film and timbral practice in music. He pays his bills by teaching at the University of Missouri at Kansas City and have an avid interest in bicycling, hiking, camping, and mountaineering. In 1994 Paul completed the Colorado Grand Slam after climbing all 54 of Colorado's 14,000 ft peaks, and this is the thing he is the most proud of. I still hopes some day to go above 20,000 ft.
