In the early 1990s, Saul played as a civilian member of the Grade One Victoria Police Pipe Band. In 1993, he left the band to pursue other creative interests, including forming the original band One with two people who shared his interest in combining traditional and modern music. In 1999, Saul formed the band Mumonkan with previous members of One and an additional rock Guitarist. Around this time, Saul also accepted an invitation to join pop electronic/dance act Sonic Animation as a 'live' guest and touring member, contributing his knowledge of music performance and production to the already internationally recognized act.
