A French carol I recorded a few years ago with a Celtic touch.

One of my "Celtic" tracks - "Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day" is an old English carol and I think the melody is beautiful in its elegance and simplicity. I recorded this in the basement in 2005 or 2006. Penny whistle, bells, guitars and strings…

From 2005 - Another one of my early pieces written on Fruity Loops, I believe written along side Morning at the Quay. As much as I detest re-recording things, I could probably do it justice now (for what it is, but I cringe at the step programming…

From 2005 - One of the first pieces I wrote and the first one I licensed. Written on an old version of Fruity Loops (pre FLStudio). Probably should have added this to my "For the Sake of Posterity" playlist...

Traditional Irish - Arranged by Doug Sparling The last of my traditional Irish tunes for now...I learned both these tunes on my Kirk Lynch uilleann pipes when I had them - now I just play them on guitar best I can. Buachaill On Eirne is…

Traditional Irish - Arranged by Doug Sparling Based on a recording by Na Casaidigh. Played late at night, as a lullaby of sorts. Now go to sleep, little child... Guitar players - check out my GuitarNoise.com lesson for this tune: http://www…

A song written for my dear old friend, Kirk Lynch, who I've known for almost 20 years. For those who don't know, Kirk and I live less than an hour apart, but I swear it's been five years since we've seen each other in person, which just ain't…

A couple of Irish jigs I wrote and recorded on piano (using either Reason or Cubase and EWQLSO, I really don't remember) a few years ago. The arrangement is incomplete and one I meant to add a little icing to. I may have to dig up the Reason file…

Simple theme from the audio sketch book. I used to try and write a melody or two a day, most of the time I just put them on paper...this one I happened to record.

Guitar loop from 2008. First loop where I bounced between different tracks instead of building part upon part. Flawed, but for better or worse, I rarely record something twice (why I left in the pop in the initial bed loop, I have no idea - well…

Written and recorded in 2006 (I think). Another I hesitated to upload since it's so sloppy, but I am filing it under For the Sake of Posterity...Don't remember much, but I think I was using an Ibanez Artist semi-hollow body guitar, PodXT, '70s…

From 2006 or 2007. One of the first (and one of just a few) pieces I wrote using Reason. I was definitely listening to Patrick O'Hearne at the time...might have to buy some real piano samples.

Another guitar loop from 2008. Proof I can write "happy" music :)

Another "jazzy" little number from the basement archives. Someone call the smooth jazz police before I ever do this again...

From the basement, one of the first things I ever recorded at home. My attempt to be a bit jazzy...

Early guitar loop, 2008.
