Films I have scored include Replacing Delphine, Ballet Mecanique, Emak Bakia, Menilmontant, Day Trip, The Cabinet of Madam Blavatsky, L'Etoile De Mer, Erotikon, Judgement, Rapture, Moth to Light, The Other Half, Falling Pink, Episodes In the Life of a Gin Bottle, Defiled, Wheels, The Hands of Orlac and Psychopathia Sexualis...

"Then Jill Tracy gave the stage to visiting violinist Paul Mercer, who flew in the day before from New Orleans; the three had had just one short “rehearsal.” Paul hooked his violin to a DigiTech electronics processor unit on the floor. He announced the theme of the music would be about a 130-year-old violin named Daphne and proceeded to give an amazing, full-range orchestral concert with just one violin - reminded me of the famous H.P. Lovecraft story, “The Music of Eric Zann.” This was a real eye (and ear) opener: how a four-string violin with a bow can summon up a sky full of thunderous war currents and swooping sounds, dying down to melancholy faraway strains and the rising and falling wail of an ambulance siren. Hypnotic, athletic, EPIC, really - and all done by one soloist with a violin." - V. Vale, RE/search Publications
