Well, I may be a little slow with keeping up with what is hip, but I have finally entered into the world of blogging. So welcome to my very first blog. This will officially be replacing the Latest happenings page and will hopefully allow me to really keep people up with the "Latest Happenings". Much has been happening in the studio and I will give details in the upcoming blogs. Until then, take care -- Rick

It's been a year since the completition of our new studio and it has been working out great. Some new equipment upgrads have happened which is keeping things even more in the digital domain than before. We also had to get a new Master Keyboard controller. After 20 years of service the old Kurzweil K-1000 finally bit the dust and was replaced by the Kurzweil PC1x. If you want to see what the studio looks like you can check out the Quick Time movie of the pictures taken during the various phases of construction. Studio Construction Quick Time Movie -- Rick

Barclasion Music was selected to complete the arrangement process of New Jersey artsist Drew Pizzulo's latest album, "Undiscovered Talent". We arranged six of the tracks on Drew's latest endeavor. And just this past week finished arranging a Christmas song for him called "Music is Chirstmas". You can listen to tracks on CD BABY

Early in 2007 we worked on yet another CD series for MVP Consulting. They are bascially a motivational business that deals with real estate. They travel throughout the country giving seminars to various companies helping to increase sales through various techniques and ideas. More info on their company can be found at: www.mvpconsulting.net

Through careful consideration, the decision has been made to sell or license the tracks to other Music Library companies who excell in the areas of marketing and for Barclasion Music to concentrate on the production of these types of tracks for various music libraies. The webiste will remain operational until sometime early next year. You can go to RCB Music Library to check out music there. http://www.rcbmusiclibrary.com/

The jazz quartet called "Two Plus Two" for which Rick Barclay is the drummer, has been very busy this year as well. The Christmas season is a busy time for the band and they are booked solid till the end of the year. You can check out info on the band at: www.twoplustwo.info

Production is just about complete on Paul Needles comedy album. The best way to describe it is a modern day Smothers Brothers routine. There is no foul language on the album, but Paul does have a twisted sense of humor and is quite funny. We will post links and snippets once the album is available. -- Rick
