On Monday November 21, 2011, Trick Dog Recording was proud to host Jake Singer. In an afternoon Jake made a demo recording of sixteen trditional Native American and original songs. Jake sang with rattle accompaniment and he overdubbed a traditional water drum, which was fascinating to watch him assemble. The songs were recorded as a continuous piece approximately 25 minutes in length. The recording was done using the Blumlein stereo technique. Trick Dog Recording sincerely hopes to see Jake back here soon to record a full-length CD which will be commercially available.

The debut album from Trio Tritticali has been released and is available from CD Baby. Excerpts from "Issue No. 1" are available here. A full version of "Who Knows Yet" can be found at my Music tab.  The album was recorded, edited and mixed by Paul E. Mitchell at Trick Dog Recording and mastered by Grammy-award-winning mastering engineer Silas Brown at Legacy Sound. The album features music based on many diverse styles and traditions. The sound is full, present, nuanced and very big; a musical and sonic treat! Kudos to the Trio and all involved from Trick Dog Recording.

On May 15, 2011 vocalist and songwriter Celeste returned to Trick Dog Recording to record six original songs. She was joined by frequent session player Randy Fischer on drums and percussionist Obi Kaye as well as Paul E. Mitchell on guitars, keyboards and bass. Overdub sessions have continued through the summer with an expected release date this fall.
