This is a live cut from an NPR radio broadcast back in 1988 while my Irish Trad group Scartaglen was on one of its first east coast tours. Found recently on a cassette tape. Musically this was one of my favorite periods in the history of the band…
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.

Nice! In terms of textures and space, it's a little like some of Bill Frisell's work. The foreground guitar has a nice, natural, non-piezo-acoustic-electric sound that is appealing.

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

I'm digging this. Reminds me a bit of the Valley Of the Giants album "Westworld".
The backwards guitar is awesome. Was that done in post or was it all live with a pedal? If it's the latter which pedal did you use?

This is a Scottish Traditional song sung by Amber accompanied by the Utah Symphony Orchestra on the 'Celtic Shores 2' album.
In the 18th century, many of the Clan Chiefs got a taste of the rich life of the lowlands of Scotland. The lairds…
I always liked this traditional song based on the old folk tune, 'Rueben's Train'. so I decided to give a go. It was recorded a couple of years ago As usual more time spent mixing than recording.
At the time I was suffering from some sort of bug…
"As we grow up, we always carry our inner child with us. Wonder and curiosity... there are so many things the child sees. However, this is a view from above. We are now adults with good and bad experiences of life, looking inward. It is time…
This's my longest piece ever at 3:09! I think it kinda fits the mood that I'm trying to learn to compose in... I'm just happy it uploaded this time.
It must be something with Chrome... I tried uploading this a few days ago, and it kept giving…
A song inspired by a dream, Unchained is about a woman who has been beaten and abused throughout her marriage until one day her husband dies of undetermined causes, yet she feels no guilt, only release...
Lyrics:
Calling me, she comes in the night
the summer breeze is feeling right for me
Whisper to the wind
the dark angel forges her lights my way
Whisper to the wind
This Vision has complicated everything
now is not my time
Dark angel calls…
Wasting away another weekend with some scales and mode practice on the synthesizers.
all the percussion is from the Juno drum patches and my fingers.
For you folks out there who enjoy the mode stuff this is Phrygian in A
A,Bb(A#),C,D,E,F,G,(A)
title just came up, cause i was thinking of that song 'if you leave me now, you take away the biggest part of me... oehwoehwooeehooe no baby please don't go...'
i tried spending some more time than usual detailing everything and finding a balance…

Great stuff! The screams are a very ominous way to keep the beat :)
Very nice. Great flow
Wow! I'm normally not into acapella, but that intro got me hooked until the instruments came in! Awesome piece!
Great tone, very full sounding! Did you mic an amp, or was this straight into a computer?
Spooky sounds and good playing!

Amazingly beautiful piece, Kirk..!!!
Instantly faved!
I'd have you score my crazy campy psychedelic westerns. Well, if I had any. Diggin the reverse guitars and overall atmosphere.
very esoteric!certainty feels like walking on a trail in solitude
Grand piece of Gaelic music. Great vocals. Great playing. I expect Fiona Ritchie to return after these messages.
Loving the vocals.
