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 over 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.

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

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.
