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

there is a great melodic feel to this study
super clean guitar sounds, too
you're a 'fera' of the fretboard, as the brazilians would say.
(fera= 'wild animal' - which somehow gets used colloquially as "musical genius")
thanks for your kind words re: Wanna go home.
The chords are taken from a bossa nova tune - Quando Chegares - by Carlos Lyra - a great bossa songwriter.

Thank you for listening to my track and for the nice comments.
I really love the rich sounds that you have in this track. It's very soothing to listen to...a really nice composition.

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

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

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.

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!

Just wanted to express my thanks to everyone for all the kind comments. Thanks folks
oh, and did I forgot to say how lovely this song is? Really nice work.
I knew this was recorded in the shop because I can feel the spirit of craft in the melody, if that makes any sense. You must make real magic there.
!!!
Nice track, great guitar sound!
Oh so beautiful Kirk! You get me everytime!
very, very good! (great, really).
Lovely sound, kirk.

Oh my, how absolutely lovely. mmmm
This is lovely fingerstyle. These pieces of yours may push me back to playing more acoustic.
Thanks for the encouraging comments; I'm digging your stuff as well -a lot of subtlety here. Thanks for the sounds!
Sweet sound.
