Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode
Something completely different- Uilleann pipes(Irish bagpipes) and synth. I wrote this tune over 20 years ago in the style of traditional Irish slow airs. It was recorded way back in 1991 for an album that's been out of print for over 15 years…

This is gorgeous ... many, many take-your-breath-away moments. I didn't want it to end. And what a warm, shimmering tone you captured - great recording!
Kinda rough. I'm uploading this mainly to share a guitar technique I've been working on. I'm wearing a slide on my picking hand and using it to alter pitches in single line phrases. There's a lot more can be done with this technique that I've…
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

Straight ahead stone city electric blues for an old friend who used to spend hours spinning BB King and Mike Bloomfield records for me. Recorded back sometime at the end of 2006 on old analog equipment

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

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
the first multi track piece that I actually finished "in the box" in Cubase. An ambient kinda thing that grew out of playing around with the Line 6 DL4. Not sure I like the bow parts, but I may re do it later

so this one is in Portuguese. sorry for all u English speakers. but i hope u go ahead and listen to it anyway. i like it a little faster than this version. this is from a couple years ago.
A happy song about being left by your no-good spouse. There's a word for the attitude in this song but I can't think of it right now ...
this is now a tidied up version 18/3/09
Created back in 1999 with the help of alonetoner K.Scot. I had translated the english lyrics into portuguese - then just decided to record both languages at the same time.
I wrote this song after my brother passed away a couple years ago. His girlfriend of 4 years asked me to write the music to a poem she wrote. This is what it turned out to be.
Lyrics by Annie Buller.
This is part of a new body of work, centered more on guitar than synth, yet treating the guitar as I do the synth. This is still a work in progress, and I am open to input.
This is definitely an ambient piece, treating sound as a sculpture more…
Part of my song a week project.

It was later "upgraded" to include a spoken vocal and sound effects. Stay tuned for "wake me up" which is that version of the song.
I'm better at using my pots and pans for music than for food, so I post this tune in hunger. 3 pots, 1 pan, and a tabla.
"i'm just a gangsta in the jungle" recorded in the amazon. It's actually a part of a monologue that I will likely never post…
An experiment that became a meditation.
Two tracks. One guitar, one looper, one e-bow, two tracks and a touch of Live's Overdrive effect on the second e-bow track.
The starting premise was could I get the sound of many guitars by continually…
I wrote the music to this song while playing around on the piano, thought it sounded nice. But for a long time i left it like that cus I couldn't think of how to develop it.
Then one day i was playing it, and i stopped and saw my dad's old guitar…
I wrote this with two of my friends Diego (aka Mr. Napkinhead on alonetone) and Annie. an ode to pasta since my family is all about pasta. we had fun with the lyrics. wrote it in about 15 minutes, recorded it in an hour, and sang it that night…
If Berlioz would've heard this piece.. he probably would have said that it was too vulgar (lol) too much percussion... but oh well I got very excited when I made this one... the tempos are not very well because its very hard!!!

Wow! That's beautiful.
This is beautiful. It gets right into the center and tugs away.
Oh wow, this is fantastic ... heart-voice captured by music. Not many pieces bring a tear to my eye.

Great technique, love the feel of it.
always my fav!!!
excellent track!!!!!
thanks for your support; MASTER KIRK!!!!!
Did you ever listen to John Renborne?
Wow got a real Blue eyed American approach to it . organ back + bass is spot on . Loved the stumbling drum kit
Got a Classic feel! Counterpoint, with triplets is really cool.
glorious as usual, Kirk. Glorious. Your stuff always hits a soft spot in my soul.
I think i need to go analog if it would make me play like this.......
more delay... :) missed this one....really nice
...And back again to listen to this little piece of perfection. Just magnificently played.
Outstanding track!
Fantastic! Wow!
Totally pro. Dig it!
Oh and the bow works just fine, i really dig it.
Stunning man....missed this.
