Paul Ortiz is an English multi-instrumentalist, best known for his work under the pseudonym, or solo project, of Chimp Spanner. He recorded, produced, mixed and mastered in his home studio, both the 2005 album Imperium Vorago and 2009's At The Dream's Edge. Ortiz has also composed for computer games, advertising, television and radio — and for clients ranging from Red Bull to Dolby Laboratories — and mixed and mastered albums for other musicians. At The Dream's Edge is Chimp Spanner's second album, independently released in December 2009. It was re-released by Basick Records in 2010 after Chimp Spanner signed to them. This is the first Chimp Spanner album to feature an 8 string guitar, which was used on the songs "At The Dream's Edge", "Bad Code", "Far From Home" and "Under One Sky". Coming in at almost an hour and one minute, this is Chimp Spanner's longest album to date.
