We are delighted to be back in the saddle to share Paul (the jawshops) Cliffords most recent creation Reel to Real.
This video showcases Paul’s unique musical recording skills and the new exciting sounds but veers back into the harsh reality that looms over and all around of us.
Please feel free to enjoy the video, however if you are sensitive to rodents you may want to give it a pass.
Ride along with Paul Clifford’s Jawshop Adventure Recordings. In this episode he revisits his local cell tower and implements his magic to extract his unique and amazing audio recordings.
If you are curious about what a bow pulled across a spring attached to a cell tower sounds like or are just interested in how the art of field recording and how sounds are captured then we invite you to visit the Jawshop and check out the audio treats.

Cocky chick,
Cocky chick,
Itching for a fight,
Until it gets too real,
Then he opts for flight.
This little animation was inspired in part by an encounter I had with a young grouse chick who was attempting to intimidate me with his incredible moves. Rather than flee in terror I watched the display and was impressed with this brave little chick. But also when Paul Clifford sent me his musical number Woke Dreams that my imagination was inspired and soon after this little Grouse and his moves became a video. Why? Simply for my own amusement I guess, there is no deep thought or meaning in this number, nor does it reflect actual Grouse reality or culture in anyway but is meant as a portrayal of human culture. Be aware that I did create it with a younger audience in mind, with the intent of bringing a smile to a child’s face so maybe this video is not so shallow or meaningless after all.
Several species of Grouse are common in Coastal Salish territories, they are numerous and are a food source for both people and other wildlife. Personally I love to hear the sound of their drumming coming from the edges of the forest, it is both a magical and haunting sound from a beautiful and brave little bird.
Like what you hear, Woke Dream the music from this video along with other amazing audio loops created by Paul Clifford’s Jawshop Adventure Recording Studios will soon be available at our coming soon new loop shop SpiceRack.
I am delighted to be sharing more of Bob Hamm and Paul Clifford with you all. These two seasoned professionals and University or East Hastings Alumni have teamed up again to bring us another brilliant tune and music video. This tune is titled Working Man and was written in their honour so we invite all you working men and the people who love them to give it a listen, unlike most things these days it won’t cost a dime.
