A bit of improv done yesterday with my newly refurbished fretless guitar. Finally got the midi pickup to track almost right! Part of the sounds were gotten by rubbing a teaspoon on the strings.

Well, I like it. Almost a kichey throwback to hearts of space type cascading ambient, which no one really does anymore. Has a kind of slightly on edge shrill I find interesting.

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.

Several years ago I had a short lived duo with an oboe and English horn player named Nat. This is a demo from that period. It's an old old chord progression of mine that never really had a melody and Nat improvised this melody in the studio to…

Maybe I missed a career scoring for no budget spaghetti westerns, because this is what this reminds me of. Done live a couple weeks ago with the Taylor and a floor full of toys and loopers.
Maybe a career, or a time...

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…

I really like this -- especially the vocal-like sounds, were they synth or sampled? Did you do it all with your MIDI guitar controller?

Most excellent. Thats an improv.
Fantastic playing! You've captured the feel of winter day really well on this.
Ethereal sounds-cape!! Fine piece of music!
I like the synths. Really starts it out with a certain tone.
a lot of yearning in that melody, incredible stuff!
still love this, so cool!
Brillant work Kirk. Glad to see some new ones from you! :)
really nice,, a very full/orchestral sound,, lots of nice space within these notes, the stretched quality of the fretless is really nice
Kirk, first of all, thank you for your kind words. They mean the world to us. As for this track, it is astoundingly beautiful!!! w;-)
this is mysteriously beautiful Kirk!
Dreamy. Orchestral, and foreboding. More of that Kirk!
VERY cool.
Inventive and magnificently chilling!
Menacing!
pretty cool :)
Very innovative young fella. Interesting item, that midi guitar pickup.

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
Wow- This is a refreshing change of pace for you- Lovely stuff!!
Nice moody piece!
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!
Great stuff - love the beginning
Nice one man!
Rant on Yelyah- just keep making tracks like this- great!
What a great rhythmic groove!
Wild stuff- I like it!
