Paul McClelland-Nibiru (video-fall, 2011)

Paul McClelland-Collage (fall, 2011)

This collection of songs is the 1st full series of music completed using my 24 track digital recorder, which allows me to record 24 bit WAV. files, giving the music more headroom, more air, or in other words, more room to breathe. The tracks feel fuller, wider, and the use of 24 tracks gives me more room in the sound to create more expanded arrangements, something I was somewhat limited in doing with the previous 8-track. As is usually the case, all songs are written, performed, mixed and post production mastered by the Hermit of Rogers Ave. I took the above photograph at the Museum of Art in Denver CO when Susan and I were there in the summer of 2011.

Paul McClelland-On The Beach (Summer, 2011)

This is a collection celebrating the music of Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys. Not so much their hits, but some of the deeper album tracks that slowly worked their way into my brain and became some of my favorites. It's summer, which I think is the perfect time to compile a tribute to their fun, light, upbeat music, and I hope you will enjoy this set of tunes for many summers to come. All instruments, vocals, mixing and post-production mastering by Paul McClelland.

Paul McClelland & Friends-The Dream Pop Project (Spring, 2011)

Dream Pop. The essence of the music is a focus on ethereal textures and moods, rather than on propulsive rock riffs. Breathy, high-register female vocals or almost whispered male vocals are usually the means of lyrical delivery; lyrics are generally introspective and existential in nature. Cover art tends to consist of blurry pastel imagery and/or stark minimalist designs.

With that description in mind, I began "The Dream Pop Project", one of the final collections recorded and mixed on the Tascam 8-track workstation in my home studio.

Many of the songs are written and performed entirely by me, from the drums and bass, to the layered guitars, keyboards and vocals. I am also the sole mixer, and was responsible for all post-production.

The three collaborations at the end of the collection were made possible via internet file transfers, with friends from as far away as Germany and the U.K. able to download a section of music I was working on, add to it, and send it back to me. So musical colleagues from around the globe helped "An Everlasting Dream" become a bit of a sonic nightmare during the middle section, and soundfile exchanges also allowed "The Seven Stars" to become a celestial space jam.
