Mining the archives a bit. This is an alternate take of my "Jimi Jam" from a couple of years ago. Live to 2 tracks with the Jamman. Really only sounds OK when cranked up loud enough that your eardrums threaten to meet in the middle. LOL!!
Kinda rough. I'm uploading this mainly to share a guitar technique I've been working on. I'm wearing a slide on my picking hand and using it to alter pitches in single line phrases. There's a lot more can be done with this technique that I've…
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.
This track is from the 1986 Scartaglen album "The Middle Path". The first tune "Jezaig" was composed by Breton musician Gilles Le Bigot. The second tune is one of the "Cantigas de Santa Maria" and is attributed to King Alfonso X of Spain

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…

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.
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…

This is one of those tracks that if you drift off to sleep while listening to it, you're almost guaranteed to have pleasant dreams. The fidelity of the recording is fantastic.
An experiment I recorded yesterday with a rig I put together for more or less ambient sounds using two loopers and nearly every effects unit I own. I have no idea who Clark was but he owned the '58 Harmony Stratotone that I used on this cut. His…

Fiddling around with an open G tuning and I found the chord that 'Prodigal Son' is based on (a Robert Wilkins tune from the 30s made famous by the Stones) so I had a play around with it, stopped for dinner and came back and wrote the lyrics…
Kinda cornball but what the hell. I gotta do one for the wifey every now and then.
I think my drumming hiccuped somewhere around 2:40.
Lyrics:
just a day
or maybe for a life time

This is my latest work, and first upload here! This piece was inspired after seeing The Juan Maclean. While John Maclean was setting up, I asked him if he'd DJ here (Portland, OR) someday, and I thought to myself the lines "If you spin it, they…
This piece I started work on a couple months ago. It's still in it's early stages, and needs some tweaking here and there, but I like where it's going. I wrote it while heavily into Lindstrom and Prins Thomas (and still am!). Enjoy.
Seems to be that one song everyone likes.

Stary night, the highway fades
a hundred miles and I'm on my way
I got up late
Lazy days and even crazier nights
there she was, on her way
she stuck her thumb out for me to see…
Goth/folk...Vocals and lyrics by Laura Aalto
This is a companion piece to "Vision in Silver"
From the 2009 Alchemist Corpse Rite entry in the RPM Challenge: "A True and Faithful Relation"
this is a speeded up remix of this tune i made a while ago (which is actually a remix of a remix and is now remixed.......mad eh?) improved kik performance with some new crash samples and a bit of 303... have fun num
This is a remixed version of the title track from my 2008 RPM album, to be included on an as-yet unnamed compilation album I'll be releasing later this year.

this song made me pick up my guitar . thanks for inspiring.
This is sooooooo good. Quick thanks to Kavin for bringing my attention back to this Kirk Lynch masterpiece.
This is very cool. I forgot I had listened to this. There's this warm familiarity. Your Palette is very broad.
Agree - it's a score tune - and not just spaghetti westerns (whatever the heck that is). Luv the backwards delay.
cool! I enjoyed this live performance very much.
Every time I hear that guitar first come in, it's so sweet. Kudos, friend.
I have no idea how this is done,its great
The panning on this song sent a chill down my spine - nice work here!

Too cool- Love it! When's the fish fry?
This should get you out of a whole bunch of projects around the house! Lovely work on the acoustic guitar!
Wow- great guitar sounds and love the chord progression
Hilarious! I had to wipe the tea off of my computer screen
Can't help but move to this one. Has funk and a great swagger as well!
very Nice! Love that synth loop that runs through it
How did I miss this one? Lovely! Great playing
We don't hear enough of this sort of stuff around here. Very refreshing!
Dig it! Nice cruisin' tune
Lovely darkness!
This would be a great one to crank up on a road trip!
Enjoying all your new tracks. Nice way to start the day!
Love it when the vocals come in and also that bass part at about 2 minutes- great stuff
Wow- What a great track!- all 10 minutes of it
Some very cool effects going on. Great fun!
Every time I think I have figured out what you do you do something different-Cool What's next , an opera maybe?
Really nice. Love the slow build and those synth parts that come in at about 4 minutes
Love that bass groove and all the interlocking parts. Very cool!!
Instant favorite- right up my alley!!
