Paul Schütze is an Australian musician in the ambient music genre. He was born in 1958 in Melbourne, where he lived intermittently until relocating to the UK in 1992. His style is sprawling, icy, often difficult ambient and electro-acoustic music, paying much attention to rhythm but without relying on the techno mode. He cites his influences as the German group Can, late 60's and early 70's Jazz and 20th century French piano music and has stated that dealing with music business is a "huge pain in the ass".[1]
