Her music is reflective of her elusive alias, transcendental in every way, opening portals of ancient wisdoms which she channeled through a Prophet 10, Yamaha DX7, E-mu Emulator and Yamaha CS-80, bringing never-before sounds to life in the company of her beloved pet iguanas Little Soulstice and Ms Huff. She released seven albums – mostly limited cassette tape release – which remain however nearly impossible to find. In 2017 RVNG Intl’ released a compilation featuring tracks from 6 out of 7 of her albums - Trans-Millenia Music - which received a 2020 re-issue. After a 30- year break from music producing, after having sold her gear because of financial difficulties, Angel Tears in Sunlight is a new album to be released on RVNG Intl in early February, available for pre-order on bandcamp. Part of the proceeds of the sales will go the Iguana foundation. Safe travels, Paula, you are dearly missed and your legacy will never die. Z.Z.
