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
Last of the archives for now. A set of reels from the Last Nights Fun album. I did pipes, whistle and guitar on the last tune in the set. There's a live version of this up here too. This is the studio cut
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

Kirk,
This is Greg Zenitsky. You likely won't remember me but I was a student at UMKC in the early 80's and I made a couple of recordings of Scartaglen as part of a project in Tom Mardie's audio recording classes. I believe one of the tunes was Metal Man. Is this cut from that tape by chance? I misplaced my tape copies years ago before having the opportunity to make digital copies. Regardless, I hope this message finds you well. Always enjoyed your music!

I hesitate to upload this, but there are a couple folks around who like this sort of thing. This is an edited down version of a jam I had with myself back at the end of 2007. Live to 2 tracks with the aid of the Jamman. I think it was the first…

More from the way back machine. A set of polkas from the 1992 Scartaglen album "Last Nights Fun". Former band mate Mike Dugger wrote the first 2 tunes and I can't remember where we got the last tune. There is a live version of this up here. This…

Solo acoustic finger picking thing I've been working on for a while. Sometime around 1968 I started studying with Mr. George Bennett who taught me the rudiments of finger picking. Later when we played some gigs together he also taught me the rudiments…

This is a bonus track of sorts for the mock EP It takes a village. I had the verse chord chages around for many years but just until last week the song and lyrics came together really quickly. I thought I heard a band arrangement originally but…
Thinking about and inspired a lot by trees lately. That, and the excellent film Rivers and Tides.
Arboreal
Drink in the sun
Until the day is done
Dance with the wind
Circle of life has no end
Roots into the ground

Originally by Freddie King, I did the John Mayall (Eric Clapton) version since the March 2014 issue of Guitar World mag has a good transcription of it. Looking back now I wish my lead tone wouldn't have been quite so harsh in places.
Just an instrumental I came up with on the 7-string. Wanted to try a few harmonized licks. Guitars and bass are me but the drums aren't (as with all my stuff).
MrMudd&MrGold is a duo project with my friend from Brooklyn, Jim Goodin. Inspired by our common interest for acoustic improv and love for the music of Townes VanZandt and Steve Earle.
This is an improv composition by Jim, who plays 12 string…
Decided to upload a work in progress from a heavy side project called : Lab Survivor.
I have a few things in the works coming up, hopefully including an all acoustic RPM. Finally have the studio up and running with some new upgrades :) Wahoo…
Anyone who knows me realizes I dig electronic music....yet have no idea what I am doing when it comes to creating it! This is just some groovy randomness messing around with new studio equipment.
Didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped (my left forearm was burning like hell after each take). After the acoustic version, there's a distorted version, but the tapped harmonics at the beginning sound pretty crappy with distortion. I also added…
Got the basic idea for this from Keith Wyatt's Guitar World column (Talkin' Blues, Feb 2014) in which he discusses some of guitarist Grady Martin's work.
An ambient soundscape with fragments of percussion sprinkled throughout. Most of the percussion fragments are from the Live Packs '1konkret' and 'Operator 53' from Detunized.com.
Part of a collaborative effort done here. My friend sent me these guitar parts which I arranged, twisted and morphed to create this. I added the percussion and other non musical elements thanks to my kids playing while I was experimenting with…
Baby can you here the thunder tonite?
Baby can you here the rain coming down, down?

I was reading about Tosin Abasi and listening to a lot of his music around the time I recorded this, even though it doesn't sound very much like his stuff.
Comments on kirklynch's stuff
Wow. Beautiful guitar work. Reminds me of early genesis steve hacket stuff.
Perfect for St Patty's! enjoyed! :)
Groovy. I love this one.
How lovely to have these tracks from what is now a fairly distant past. Great musicianship.
