Collection: Paul Rudy

Paul Rudy is a composer, sound artist, sound healing practitioner, land artist and steward, photographer, and researcher. A profound and shaking experience at age eight taught him the power of sound, and a focused study and curiosity has led to a Curators’ Distinguished Professorship at the UMKC Conservatory and International awards as a composer, where he currently serves as the Coordinator of Integrated Arts Initiative. He is a Rome Prize (2010), Guggenheim (2008), Fulbright (1997), and Wurlitzer Foundation (2007 and 2009) Fellow. Recent endeavors include a sound healing practice, composing personal sound meditations for clients, and NIH supported research studying sound in the operating room to improve patient safety with Surgilab at the UMKC Medical School.
