Solo acoustic guitar recorded January 2nd 2009. Hope to do a longer more developed version at some point ,but for now just a short version to learn more about using new DAW software.

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

My first attempt at a Blumlein or Mid/Side recording. This one is actually a mid/side recording as I used a directional mic in combo with a figure 8 ribbon mic set at 90 degrees from the main mic. Thanks to Pat Broaders for the loan of the ribbon…

A moody solo acoustic thing that I came up with playing in a long forgotten tuning. Just got a new Zoom H4N, so this was recorded in my shop sitting at my reedmaking bench may 12 2009

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

this is classical music half the parts are played live in one go then copied for other instruments. the original takes are three and a half minutes long then copied to make this 6 minute piece all the parts were played on the laptop keyboard…
I am not BT, so no rain drops were quantized in this production.
Storm was recorded last night on my Tascam DR-07 (with wind filter and limiter).
Just a simple piano improv. That of course had to be tweaked far out of the improv stage.
Pain is inspired by my bout with severe nerve damage in my lower back. As anyone who has ever had a good hurt can tell you, it gives you an internal feeling of chaos that often comes and goes in waves and spikes. The music follows this pattern…
Just a quick conceptual sketch of a new piece we're brewing. 210 bpm, 5/4, with 6 bars per phrase. We'll probably take this down once we've got more there. Our poor pianist will probably get carpal-tunnel syndrome from this.
Instrumentation…
it is icy. it moves. it is glacially inevitable. the listener may percieve tension. a desire to break free. a wish to increase velocity. it is impossible. it will proceed at its own pace. relax.
White Light was written in June along with 10 other "Off the cuff" tunes. Just before the great flood in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Our house was flooded and slowly being rebuilt. This is 4th of the 10 to be recorded.
Recorded: August 8, 2009
Details: Epiphone Les Paul (DADGAD/DADGBE - capo III), Seymour Duncan Pickups, POD XT, Boss RC-20 Looper, Audacity, Sound Forge.
I'm convinced that composing/recording daily is the best way to really find out if a DAW fits your workflow. And I think Ableton Live nailed its final nail in the coffin for me tonight.
See, if I weren't writing so much, so quickly, I would be…

Hey, thank you so much for the warm comment! Great tune, very trippy.
Excellent mate very cool indeed.
@Goose: I know nothing about guitars but I think Kirk's Stratotone is named "Clark". And not red.
Great tone on the recording: I have much to learn about recording Acoustic guitar.
aaaah improv the freedom to be,, to play, to explore,,, this is a very beautiful journey/study into one of the many musical side streets,,, very fine
Never mind the jazzy quartal thingy, I want to see the guitar man. Is it red?
While I know nothing about harmony, I will say that I prefer an augmented fifth, but seem to always end up with a diminished fifth. Sweet piece Kirk!
Very pretty melody!
... I'm digging into this space you have carved in time...
i love playing with FXs that keep me in time.this is an interesting guitar sound and effect K. i can get lost in that signal. love it
Way to improv it my friend. Loved it.
Wow ... That is a full & beautiful sound.
Nice! Had to do some googling while listening to learn about quartal harmony.

Maybe I'm just in the mood for dark and slightly disturbing this morning, but I like this!
Lovely as always! That build up at about 4 minutes is just great

I needed a good butt kicking this morning- thanks!
The storm is the perfect backdrop for this- nice!
Oooh- that is some pain!. Love the storm sounds in the background
Very cool- had to come back and check it out again. Love it when the bass drops out and then re- appears
Not my usual cup of tea, but this is really well done. Great textures and that shift at about 3 minutes is just too cool!
Has attitude! I like it!!
Love the sinister chord progression!
Wackiness incarnate! Great fun. Can't wait to hear more
Oh Yeah- laid back nice stuff!!
A wonderful icy trip. Great sounds!
Great hook - really nice sounding production. Love the guitar tones!
