Artist Paul Rudy | Once Upon a Time, There Was a Fun-Gi Hardcover Journal

$19.95
Everyone has a story — and everyone has the capacity for fun. Much like happiness, fun is a choice. On the cloudy days when things don't feel fun anymore, take a breath, take a time out, and remember all the people, places, and experiences that lit you up. How did you contribute to that joy? Get Paul's Once Upon a Time, There Was a Fun-Gi Hardcover Journal and start writing your story — before long, you'll discover just how much fun you have to offer the world.

Paul Rudy is a composer, sound artist, and educator whose work explores sound as a medium for presence, perception, and deep human connection. Based in the Kansas City region, Paul creates performances, installations, sound-based rituals, and participatory listening environments that invite people to slow down, sense more fully, and engage with the living world around them. His practice spans composed music, sound healing, land-based work, and collaborative projects that weave together ecology, community, and care.

Central to Paul's work is what he calls harmonic intelligence — an embodied capacity to sense coherence, navigate complexity, and remain present within a shared, living system. He treats sound not as a fixed object, but as a living field that connects body, place, memory, and imagination. Whether working in concert halls, galleries, care centers, or open outdoor spaces, Paul invites listeners to become co-creators, allowing meaning to emerge through attention rather than prescription.

Paul is one of five Kate Shu Collective STAR Resident Artists and a treasured member of the Monarch Shoppe family. His journals are an invitation — to listen more deeply, to notice more fully, and to write the story that only you can tell.

"The journey is not my design, but your desire."
