This track was made for collaborative purposes. Looking for a slow build of layers. If you hear anything that you would like to add...feel free to do so, and send it back to me...or post it and let me know that you did. TANKS!
Okay...so Godzilla comes to YOUR town and wants to get funky. What does it sound like?
When I first came to Japan, there was a time when I spent three months homeless and living out of a coin-locker at Shibuya station. Eventually, I got out of…
This is an old jam I found laying around while organizing and packing for a big move. I think it was created around 2004 using my Korg drum-machine to make a program...dumped into Nuendo and then "razor-bladed" to death. If anyone want to co-lab…
This cut was made right after operation Shock and Awe started. I wanted to try and capture the feel of being an innocent civilian caught in the middle of it with helicopters flying around...gun-fire swirling around, etc. It's particularly a tribute…
An experiment in minimalism ala 2004 inspired by the likes of Muslim Gauze. Dumped a Korg ES-1 drum track into Nuendo...cut it up...then added a sample of an ancient Greek song of Mourning...cut that sucker up too...and this is the result. I did…
Drum-n-bass composition I did back in 2004 via digital-razor-blade technique with an additional fat synth line. That's it. Hear something you want to add? Go for it!

Okay...it's still a sloppy mess...but that's what you get when you have earthquakes, a new-born baby, a nuclear disaster, broken bones in your hand and a whole-lotta "uuuuuuuuuuurgh!" to get out of your system. Somedays, you just gotta play in…

Inspired by the french movie titled "The Element Of Crime." This is basically a night in the studio for some musical therapy via studio jam with myself.

This track is from the 1986 Scartaglen album "The Middle Path". The first tune "Jezaig" was composed by Breton musician Gilles Le Bigot. The second tune is one of the "Cantigas de Santa Maria" and is attributed to King Alfonso X of Spain

Another collaboration between me and guitarist Kerry Hoke. Kerry provided me with four guitar loops. I arranged the loops, added some effects, played a sampled upright bass, programmed some drums, and blended it all together.
This track is almost 14 years old, but is the result of me getting an hour or so alone in the KIIS FM studios thanks to my old college buddy Mike Madrigal who was doing production imaging for the station at the time. I did the drum loops (sampled…
Here's proof. Proof that things are a bit mysterious in my studio.
Late last night my Bass Cajon all of a sudden decided to start accompanying me on its own - without me touching it. At first I thought that some apparitional bass player had…
Tight Groove! Hate it when your instruments decide to steal your beer...but hey...it's a small price to pay for having them play along for free on a track, right? btw...can't believe you used to listen to KY102 back in the day! Where you from originally?
What happened after too much time on youtube watching live vids of "voodoo chile" Noisy obnoxious and very cathartic for me! Live to 2tracks with the Jamman
why is it I always forget to log-in when I comment on your stuff? So...I'll say it again..."Nice to see this side of your music, and hear you just RIP up, Kirk! Kick out the jams! "
Ilesa is a city located in the south west of Nigeria. This is a traditional rhythm pattern of the same name - but I'm not sure of the significance of the name.
I played on 3 congas, accented with bell clave, block and cowbell, of course…
Blue Bird Sax what can I say. A fantastic off the cuff blues jam recorded Mother's Day weekend 2011. Please let us know your thoughts.

The Band..........
Aside from the drum machine, this is a fully vintage analog take on what the young whipper snappers these days are calling "dub-step." The distorted guitar sound is actually fret-less bass (as is the case with all my tracks because I only own…
Stepping outside of my normal "dub" vibe...this track was an experiment that started out as some support tracks for a live performance at a club for a Japanese band I was producing about 11 or 12 years ago. I had used a bunch of drum tracks and…

Mud is fun. This isn't mud. But it's still fun. Always love your raunchy synthy skillz!
Love the track! I'm surprised you got anything recorded with all that going on man!! Although it seems to make for some sweet music!

double "G" double "O" vy. Nice.
glorious as usual, Kirk. Glorious. Your stuff always hits a soft spot in my soul.
like what you did at about 2:20...fun harmonies and that g-narly, fuzzy guit is right where it's at.
Wow! Fun track! Amazing tones and arpeggio like melody!
That image works for me! Thanks for dropping by, Derek!

Crunchy, tough, nasty, shredding goodness.

Nice head-bobbin' drum-talk. Well produced!
STILL diggin' on this one. One of my faves. Very chill.
dark...spooky...groovy...with top notch twists. Nice ear candy!
There's a slammin, heavy, fly-wheel-groove in there somewhere!
...and sleeps it's own android dream of sheep.
One of the more visual pieces I've heard as of late. Paints it's own movie. Writes it's own script.
"She can dance on air...she can make you swear." Got a little girl on the way...I can see that all comin'. :)
Nice jam!
EggZAKtly what Dave said.
Back to my Dub routine.
Very cool! Diggin' on the harmonica! Makes me feel like a cyber-electronic-cowboy.
Patience...let it build...and wait for the hit at about 3:19...then just hang out and enjoy the ride.
