I'm calling this my Halloween track, but really it's just one of my more noisy experiments that I never intended to release! I actually can't remember now how I got part of these sounds, but it's all the Taylor and a floor full of toys, and a…
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

Haunted clockwork! Sounds like at least some of these elements are being played backwards. I love it - especially the sprinklings of electric guitar from the first minute onwards. Very creative - very cool.
I swore that I would NEVER upload this. Was having a bad day trying to loop "nice" acoustic guitar sounds and got frustrated so grabbed my Taylor and plugged it into a cheesy Effects box and straight into the looper. Started twiddling knobs and…
Another one from back when I was tracking to actual tape. Was going to do a new version at some point, but decided I had lost interest. Sometimes there's no sense in recreating the past! Recorded probably the beginning of 2007

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
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…
Another cut from the 1988 cassette tape of a live performance by Scartaglen on the NPR show Mountain stage. This time some tunes from County Kerry.
Kirk Lynch- Uilleann pipes and whistle. Becky Pringle- Fiddle. Mike Dugger- Fiddle and guitar…
Another Live performance with former band mates in Scartaglen back in 1988 on the NPR show Mountain Stage. This time a piece of Gaelic mouth music followed by 3 reels. Maybe the most complex arrangement of a set of tunes that we ever did.
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.

One from a year ago or so. Never was happy with the recording quality, but never got around to re recording it. My attempt at a kind of late 70's Phil Keaggy thing
I enjoyed the recording on it. Gives it an old school feeling. Reminds me of recording quick tunes through the old cheap computer mics back in the day. Faved it.

I found a cassette tape the other day from 1991 which turned out to be live to 2 track demos that Scartaglen did in the studio in preparation for our 3rd and (as it turned out) final album. This tune didn't make the cut for the record but I always…

All right, so one of those silly songs needed to find its way onto the album. In an effort to teach the students on my middle school team about rhythm in poetry, I wrote this little bit of foolishness about a fictional character (so yes, you…
A silly song questioning the value of using songs to get a message across. Just say 'sorry' - don't write me an opera about it.
Incidentally the note choices in this song really did hurt me.

At the lake we were crawling around
til our knees left bloodstains on the ground
licked our wounds and the pain went away
fell asleep at the end of a day
we dug holes and carved signs into trees

The cover I did off Uglifruit's 2010 RPM submission. The drums are a pair of hotrod sticks, that I made, hitting my keyboard table. The "kick drum is the stick hitting the pop screen while the mic was on.
I still need to fade...
Recorded in Hawaii, acoustic guitar and early morning trades through the trees. Keyboards and Bass track added by my brother Greg in Durango Colorado. Took Tess's (Sister Savages) advice and removed the percussion!
A blues number made using magix easy listening loops with Ardour software on Linux. This needs a lyric in the middle, but has instead been peppered here with almost random acoustic guitar jazz riffs. Had to use Audacity to take a chunk of the…

I frequently go on training skates on a beach front trail. The parking lot is just off of a major highway bridge (the Burlington Skyway for those that know it). It's always an interesting sound there...

Great sound mate very cool.

I don't know - boys and their toys. Still, I hear you have put them to good use. I like the Israeli feeling tempo. B
Haunted clockwork! Sounds like at least some of these elements are being played backwards. I love it - especially the sprinklings of electric guitar from the first minute onwards. Very creative - very cool.

Now that's something different for you!Kind of like the circus of the damned just arrived in town! I like it!
I'm amazed at what you are able to put together with noise. Loving the rhythm that emerges at 6 minutes or so. Great stuff man!
Gorgeous melody man!
