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.
On 5 March 2010, Ortiz's project Chimp Spanner signed a deal with Basick Records[1] for the album At the Dream's Edge, which was officially released 10 April 2010.
The live Chimp Spanner line-up consists of himself, guitarist Jim Hughes, bassist Adam Swan (also of Monuments) and drummer Boris Le Gal.
Ortiz enlisted Anup Sastry (Intervals, Skyharbor) and Gregory Macklin (Ordinance) to handle drum and guitar duties respectively, since he could not bring his regular live band to the US with him.
ZETA is an 80's progressive synth pop band, consisting of Paul Ortiz, Daniel Tompkins (Tesseract, White Moth Black Butterfly, formerly Skyharbor) and Katie Jackson.
