This is a Phil Keaggy tune. I swiped his original loop and then built my own thing on top of it. Might have been longer, but my volume swell effect keeps slipping out of sync with everything else. May work on it more at a later date

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…
Just an experiment from a while back using multiple delay units. I hated it initially, but after not hearing it for a few months I decided there were enough interesting moments to warrant sharing.

Quick recording of a new set of pipes I'm working on. Long winded explanation- prior to the late 19nth century most Irish pipes featured very small bores and finger holes and were pitched well below modern concert pitch. I've always loved them…

The coda of this was recorded on my mp3 player while waiting for a train. At some point I had this idea that there would be ambient noise recorded from train or bus stations every few songs so it'd sort of feel like you were listening to the whole…

So there I was, trying hard to complete a big production that I've been working on for ages, and I was getting nowhere. In frustration I started composing this little thing, and it quickly evolved into a nice piece of music all of its own. Funny…
I wrote this one a few year's back when my daughter was 6 years old. I finally recorded it and uploaded it to her MP3 player for her 12th birthday this year.
As chance had it, I found myself in an acoustically great room, full of cajons! Well, they were unfinished cabinets actually, but they had lovely tones. Since this is the stuff dreams are made of, I had no choice but to seize the opportunity and…
Seems a shame to finish those cabinets. Put doors on them and the wife will just fill them with dishes and useless stuff like food for the kids! They're such great instruments.

Old music library track. I recorded this with a cheap Yamaha keyboard my step-father gave me. Wish I would have add little more to the repeat of the melody, but I think I…

I believe this is a traditional tune, but I'm not sure. I learned it from uilleann piper Seamus Ennis or Liam O'Flynn (or both).

Another song from the archive... Written about a friend who somehow seemed to come out of her general sad manner... Thoughts go back to a lunar eclipse when the girl I was standing next to to watch it (way back in college) disappeared from sight…
The last track that I'm going to upload for a while. I will be re-recording a few songs to release a LP under my own name. Hopefully it'll be good :)
This one is another exploration using loops and delays. I hope you like it!

Way too many icicles this winter... but your track warms.
Beautiful work Kirk, as always!
Cool idea,
You keep doing shit like this you're going to get a reputation for being able to create cool shit. Careful. Next thing you know, you'll be getting paid to do. And then you'll *have* to do it...
Someone already used the word "dreamy," but I'll reiterate, anyway. Has a great mood to it.
The use of delay is phenomenal. Very peaceful... i'm fav. this.
This stopped me in my tracks . . . absolutely beautiful.
Incredible.stuff....intricate.
Just perfect.
I like the swirling nature of this. Glad you decided to put it out for us to hear.
Another fine piece of music! Volume pedal and e-bow? Not sure, doesn't matter anyway. Sounds so open and spacious. Love it...
Great sounds, great piece! Is that a volume pedal I hear? Excellent all around, Kirk! Cheers, Gary
I like the effective use of delay / effects, and the keys sound great.
most beautiful Mr. L. your play and recording are so wonderfully clear, the notes are bright and beautiful,, a happy beginning to this new year r
Excellent melody line never predictable yet so right
Sunrise Pickup, indeed:)
Nice and crispy clean. Sweet track man.
Beautiful progression, acoustic tone is amazing, love the volume swell melody.

Beautiful piece my friend. Always a pleasure listen to your stuff. Have a nice 2014!

Really lovely stuff Doug!
Quite a trip. Very Nice!
Damn! They did have lovely tones! I gotta download some of your stuff to jam to. Is that a bottle of Guinness on the shelf? Good man yourself!
Great rhythm and chord changes!
