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...

Written, recorded, and mixed in 24 hours. August 01-02, 2009, from 6am to 6am.
Instrumentation: Two acoustic guitars, electric guitar (picked and bowed), fretless bass, about 7 different flutes, two tabla drums, rattles, tambourine, didgeridoo…
I came up with the initial rhythmic riff on my bass, then looped it to create the basis for this track. Then, I layered another "lead" bass track on top of that, added some percussion, and finally topped it off with an electric piano-ish sound…

This tune was written on the day I bought my vintage Yamaha CP-25 electric piano and returned to hear that Dennis Hopper had passed away. I fired up the gear and cranked this out. The sound of the piano made me feel like Ray Manzarek...thus the…

This one took me a while [years!] to complete - how did it come out?
Freesound samples used…
In one part I harmonized the E Phrygian intro with G Mixolydian, thought that was kinda neat. In the original tune I like the lyrics: "I am not a sailor, I am a captain, I am a captain." Electric guitar kicks in around the half way point.
*Pilón* reveals a Cuban pattern, traditionally played on Timbales, but in this case on Jr. Congas & Congas (with gated reverberation and flanger effect). The rhythm of Pilón is based on the motions of pounding sugar cane.

Memories long in music sleeping,
No more sleeping,
No more dumb:
Delicate phantoms softly creeping
Softly back from the old-world come.
Faintest odours around them straying,
Suddenly straying
In chambers dim;
Whispering silks in order…

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.

Damn- I had forgotten how brilliant this was! I hope you're still out there making music man!
Lovely stuff! Missed this one
Well damn. Just when I was going to check out the other half of the album I can't get it to play
Great songwriting!
Sweet! Like the contrast in the middle section
I love it when I find something in favorites I haven't heard in ages and it's even better than I remember. Super track!
Been too long since I've heard this old favorite. Nice!
Nice! Missed this one of yours
A certain Mr. Gibbons just got his ass kicked!
Like being pursued by out of control machines bent on destruction! UH- Can we trade hands? Mine don't work like this
Wow! Thanks to Tess for pointing this one out. Great piece of work! Mix sounds really good in cans
Neat! Fun jam!
Quite beautiful!
Interesting stuff! I have enough trouble with 12 notes. What do you call all the extra ones!
Gorgeous!
Super nice groove man!
Excellent!
How Beautiful!
HA! Great version!
Just checked out the vid. Very cool!
