Paul Carroll - The Albums

History Of Album Making

Paul first starting writing and recording music way back in 1987. Back in those days layering technology was basic. It involved recording a part while playing it live on the keyboard, then playing it back and playing another part live to accompany it onto a second recording machine. and so forth. This process could only be repeated upto 4 layers before the sound would start to degenerate. Albums were slow and laborious with lots of messed up takes.

Then in 1995 digital technology took over, still basic but editable. Whole parts could be recorded, edited, tidyed up, and tweaked but the digital instruments were still fairly basic. Now, all these years later, on his fifth generation of software and hardware, and with almost 50 Albums under his belt, Paul uses state of the art Professional Musical Software to make his music with thousands of instruments and settings. The end product is completely realistic.

Fairly Recent Albums .........

COMMUNICATION - Released June 2020

A complete remake of Paul's first progressive album in 1990.

It was an complete experiment in sound in its first format, and largely made in one weekend in May 1989.

Even so some memorable tunes were included in the album.

Paul's 30 years of experience since he first wrote the album, along with the incredible technology abailable at his finger tips, expands this remake into a whole new entity of layers and sounds with developed musical progression of the original ideas.

It results in a stunning new progressive album, not quite like anything else that Paul has produced.

REAL VIRTUALITY - 20th Year Anniversary Sequel To The Original 1998 Album "Virtual Reality". All of the original interpretations are reinvented here, in new forms, with the added bonus of all of the original tracks remixed and enhanced to improve their production. Its now a complete round trip to enjoy in full, well at least until it returns with part 3, "Virtually Real Virtuality" due in 2028.

Kaleidoscope - Released August 2021

Paul takes us in an entirely different direction with his first full Album of Progressive Rock.

This album has an early 70's rock band feel and features an array of tunes and arrangements featuring how we perceive the world through light. The second half of the album takes us on a quest into an unknown world of adventure.

ORGANIC - Released April 2021

Paul produces his fourth chill Album. This time featuring all things Organic.

The album takes you on a journey of peaceful oneness with nature, and highlights what is precious within the natural world. The album climaxes in a track called Avian which features a mass migration of birds.

The production values of this album are truly stunning and should be enjoyed with headphones.

This time its a journey through the moods and emotions stirred by the weather.

This relaxing and immersive experience will take you to a plateu of calm and stimulous balanced in a way that somehow the real weather never quite acheives. Perfect for relaxing in a reclined position with headphones.

Some More Fairly Recent Albums ........

Oceanic - 2018

Paul Carroll's most sophisticated album to date. A chill out journey through the depths of the sea portrayed in beautifully synthesised music. Along the way you encounter life from just below the waves to the luminous creatures of the deep. You visit the Mariana trench (the deepest part of the ocean) and encounter pods of whales, sharks and dolphins.

This 70 minutes voyage should be listened to with headphones or only the very best sound system, to allow you to fully immerse yourself into the experience.
