Solo acoustic finger picking thing I've been working on for a while. Sometime around 1968 I started studying with Mr. George Bennett who taught me the rudiments of finger picking. Later when we played some gigs together he also taught me the rudiments…
Thanks, Bethan, kirk. it was quite a different writing process for me, and you're right, kirk, a change of pace as well. Perhaps I was just enjoying the last of the hurricane blowing out!
The song was constructed around a field recording of Lacandon men paddling across the lake in Métzabok, Chiapas (Southern Mexico). The Lacandon speak "Hach T'an," which is a Mayan dialect-- this is the language you hear in the track. Unfortunately…

After digging this tune up really I really wanted to try it again on acoustic (which I don't play much). This is a second take recorded in…
This song was made by two different piano samples (both
from Sudara):
1. One was recorded by Sudara (and gang?) axing away at a hapless old piano in New Mexico.
2. today, I convinced Sudara to noodle on the piano and send it over to me…

Late night improvisation in remembrance of my father.
Originally this piece was written for a guitar. But I love my R3 so much! I'm playing with it. So this piece is just an electronic version. As always, all sound patches were programmed by me.
This is the first song I ever wrote that I was proud of. and I haven't matched it since. I had the first line in my head for like a year, then I switched it round and had the second line. With that, I sat down at my guitar and played the first…
This song is about someone giving you a lift, and while they drive you there you fall in love with them by watching their eyes in the rear view mirror. It had like five verses but I cUt it down to two with one repeated. In cutting those verses…
I won't claim to know anything about expiring free trials. :)
You might give Reaper a try. I haven't used it, but I've heard good things over the years. And it's the "full, uncrippled, unexpiring evaluation version".

"blah blah blah"
Proof that some of the things that the composer finds mundane, fascinates the rest of us.
Where's my "how to glu" distance learning course?
It's the "do no harm" mix.
Because, theoretically you won't hear any difference between this and "technique 43".
Which is sad really, given how many hours I spent on it. Hours spent on the oh-so-exciting put-everything-in-Logic step…
Another one from back when I was tracking to actual tape. Was going to do a new version at some point, but decided I had lost interest. Sometimes there's no sense in recreating the past! Recorded probably the beginning of 2007

you've certainly put the hours in, kirk. Sounds georgeous!!

a force to be reckoned with
Your creativity is overwhelming. I need more birds.
amazing guitar sounds....
Smooooooth guitar sounds. I'm favoring this one. Maybe it's those duncans. Makes me want to sing up toward the skies.
I wish you and Kirk lived right next door.
Very effective use of the reverb...very interesting work overall.
Kirk Lynch does indeed humble us all. But you're also not giving yourself enough credit. :)
short but beautiful!
Wow. Just so lovely and... drift-y.
now this is a novel idea!!!!
I love this one on so many different levels!
Oh, lovely. I'm a sucker for this kind of thing.
"and I haven't matched it since" I've had that feeling before. And there's only one fix for it. Write more material. So keep going. :)
