A not very cheerful Christmas song I wrote for the RPM Holiday Challenge. Based on the classic Arthur C. Clarke science fiction story "The Star". http://faculty.winthrop.edu/kosterj/engl510/star.htm

This has several riffs that remind me of one of my favorite guitarists: Robin Trower. I have several of his CD's from the 70's, and you play as well as he did.

An experiment I recorded yesterday with a rig I put together for more or less ambient sounds using two loopers and nearly every effects unit I own. I have no idea who Clark was but he owned the '58 Harmony Stratotone that I used on this cut. His…
My 5-year-old daughter has asked me to make music for her to have playing in her room as she falls asleep. So, I'm working on a new album of ambient and downtempo electronica called "Sleep." Here's a work-in-progress mix of the first track.
A drone + some angry drunken guitar playing.

You have just had a fight/argument with a lover but you're drunk and your feelings are lost in a swimming haze.

An unusual traditional tune from the first Scartaglen album way back in 1984. Going through stuff the other day and ran across the LP and couldn't even remember the tune or having recorded it. I played guitar on this track
For the daughters of two of my favorite people.
Bonfire Lullaby
Dannah studies my hands while I play
With heavy eyes at the end of a runaround day
Fading fast ‘neath a summer night’s sky
No need to wonder why

A steel string guitar improvisation I did last night before bed called “A Nagging Thought“. The piece prominently features a V+ to i (augmented dominant to minor tonic) movement. I usually don’t care for the sound of an augmented tried but in…

A homage to Steve Hackett (who wrote this piece)

This is played using John O'Sullivan's Blue JI tuning. Pianoteq and Kontakt didn't play nice together so I had add 4.81 cents to all of the flute notes.

Done for the Songcrafters.org fest Live in the Living Room, I made this recording in one take. Which isn't how I usually work. My guitar was put through fuzz and distortion…
Comments on kavin.'s stuff
Wonderful journey! And I love the reversed part - lends such a great touch.
Ahhhhhh yeah.....beauty song
Nicely done Kavin. Brilliant.
Nice tune. He was and still is one of my favorite authors.
Oh this is nice! Love that twang!!
Listening to this again and i think Norm describes it well. its awesome
Awesome track!
Oooh, perfect sound, wonderful.
this is beautiful - I love the slide. Gosh I sound so amateurish compared to you guys (and Kirk, and Bethan, and Tess, and ..... I'm just wow'd .
Very nice playing and singing!
I like your interpretation of this song. Found myself singing along. Well done. ER

Like this very much. The lyrics are very good, as are the vocals. Nice guitar work, too. ER
Now this iss just beauty. Really great song. I realy like the vocals. Reso sounds like heaven. Top track guys.
I really like this one. ALt tuning always demands a second listen i think, particularly from a guitar standpoint. Really rich a 2:30
I love it too - fabulous performances from everyone!
Sweet song! I can see why it's a favorite of yours
Good one.
like it!
It makes me feel like I'm in the desert.. making my way Home...

Love the acoustic interplay on this!
Dig the minimalism here!
Yeah Kirk, definitely check out DM. One of the best modern westerns I think, and I usually don't like westerns. NY's soundtrack is perfect for it too.
Lucky lucky. Great sweeping tone on this. Got a pick of the entire guitar?
Like the Hendrixian guitar that comes in at 4 min...is that Ken playing?
Woaw yeah, great low end! The ominous intro might induce nightmares tho..
Your mood really comes thru in the music. Hope it all works out.
Inventive and free. Is the cat like a tree falling in a forest?
The Dark Riders are near. Wish this were 10 times longer!
Simply lovely. Will have to search for more Scartaglen.
Great work yawl. Even rivals the great Vincent Price's recitation.
Ha!
I must echo everyone else. Beautiful songwriting.
Fantastic, inventive stuff.
This just seems to float in the air and tickle the ears. Nice epi.

Hackett and this one are a big fave of mine, nice take on a beautiful melody.
Whoosh! Yeah!
Doing some different things with the owl here. Liking the vocal/bass harmony groove.
Yes, it happens.
