Wonders is a musical journey to awe inspiring places on Planet Earth. Composed and performed by critically acclaimed musicians Paul Lawler from the UK and Paul Speer from the USA, they are joined on two tracks by French vocalist, Satine Orient. Captivating soundscapes with a truly international flavor is the result. The trio met on MySpace and became fans of each other's music but, ironically, have never met in person. All own private recording studios and exchange audio files via the internet. Lawler first suggested to Speer in the spring of 2008 that they collaborate on an album and several months later, with much of the album finished, Speer emailed some files to Satine Orient to see if she was inspired to compose and perform vocals. That led to vocal versions of two cuts on the previously all instrumental album. Paul Lawler Paul Lawler, from Manchester, United Kingdom, began his musical career as an award winning soloist and session brass player freelancing with the 'The Halle Orchestra' and 'BBC Radio.' In 1998, Paul made the transition into composition on a full time basis following a series of widely praised television commissions for the BBC. His music has since been heard on hundreds of television shows and commercials around the world, several major computer games, a selection of films, and a significant amount of production music for various international music libraries. As a recording artist, Paul has 16 albums in release that range in style from World, New Age, to Electronic. www.paullawler.org Paul Speer Paul Speer, currently residing in Memphis, Tennessee, has enjoyed a long and diverse career as both an artist and record producer which started with his first solo release in 1984 “Collection 983: Spectral Voyages." Since that time, he has produced more than 250 albums in a variety of genres and along with recording partner David Lanz, created three top selling albums for Narada/EMI Records. Paul's credits also include two collaborations with Queensryche drummer Scott Rockenfield; the Grammy nominated video album “TeleVoid” and the celebrated progressive rock opus “Hells Canyon.” Wonders is his 13th album. Satine Orient Satine Orient, a longtime resident of Paris, France, is a self taught musician, composer, and vocalist.
