Oh I love these trad, timeless sounds! What phenomenal musicianship! Crazy energy - fantastic spirit! The atmosphere really comes across in this recording - and the applause at the end? That's me!!
Fabulous sounds, Sir FS!
This is a live cut from an NPR radio broadcast back in 1988 while my Irish Trad group Scartaglen was on one of its first east coast tours. Found recently on a cassette tape. Musically this was one of my favorite periods in the history of the band…

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

Started out be an innocent little jazzy study in quartal harmony, but the DL4 was still in my signal path and things went downhill from there! Another done with my beloved '58 Stratotone

I found a cassette tape the other day from 1991 which turned out to be live to 2 track demos that Scartaglen did in the studio in preparation for our 3rd and (as it turned out) final album. This tune didn't make the cut for the record but I always…
I'll thank and type Paul MacDonald one more time. Maybe he'll google his name and have a bit better chance of landing here for his R&C's. I like this a lot, Kirk.

Hey, I even clapped at the end. Just couldn't help myself. Wonderful suite. The minor keyed opening had me smiling with a tear in my eye. Hugely enjoyed this. Glad you scrounged it up. Sounds good and feels good.
This is probably the last of this stuff from the archives that I'll upload. Rescued from a cassette tape of a live performance with former band mates in Scartaglen. These tunes are popular down in the Southwest of Ireland. Michael(Fiddle) and…
These are such fun tracks. Sheer listening pleasure.
When I was a senior at school, I used to hold a country dance class for the younger ones in the gym at lunchtimes. They used to display on Sports Day. Your music really has my feet tapping.
A 3/4 excursion into the melodic and thematic. Don't let the title throw you off; its usage implies escape from the oppressors, not aeronautical pursuits.
For this I wanted to create some longing sounding atmosphere. To create the (somewhat annoying) guitar part in the second half I used an ebow.

when i was 18 i took in a runaway

Honestly I have no idea where this came from or how.
I was messing with Omnisphere patches and came across a lovely, flutey, breathy sound that put me in mind of the scenes inside the monolith at the end of 2001. I setup a Rytme pattern to…

more morning underwear recording/remixing sessions.. this one a bit depressing maybe? I recorded a noisy thunderstorm in the morning last week and yesterday recorded guitar played by violin bow. The result is this messy and hopefully evocative…
Sudara recorded some hang drum and glu chopped it up. This is from this morning's remix in underwear session. Cello notes are from the free philharmonic orchestra pack online.
This is pretty experimental for me, and even I feel it is way out there. This is a chronicle of a man descending into madness after discovering the truth in the words he has said and deeds he has committed.
Really to me it sounds like cheesy…
A coop between me and another alonetoner and a Chill productions member, Captain Kirk. Original melodic idea and lyrics by me, guitar, piano, final mix, final composition and mastering by Kirk and the beautiful singing is done by his wife…

beautiful playing and overall sound, incredible arrangement!
such rich sounds. a pleasure to hear this.
Really liked that, I've had you on for the last hour or so, very pleasant
Some nice spacey fx on this, reverb and echo delicately used.
Wow, great, I've heard stuff like this before but it's usually by Irish folk, and it's really cool, love it.
very well done kirk
Man this hits home. I love this. So awesome! Thanks for posting this!

Spacey and spacious. You worked that delay to near exhaustion. Good for you. Much Enjoyed.
