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?

Reg has had a tough week and decided to get himself wiped clean so he has took to the drink. I had some help Vocally and with the music i must thank the Red wine....Thank you
This solo studio dub jam was created and recorded in about 8 hours of play time one day. As usual, it starts with a simple drum machine track, then fretless bass, then keys, guitar, then a Balinese kecak drum and a tbilat drum and finally melodica…
Draft (in kitchen sink mode, still) of a track from "Figgle Your Winger" eta 2012... a sprawling tone-art-poem sometimes in 5/8 meter. Some synth parts created on iPhone with Synthpond.
This dark reggae tune has been hanging around in my "works in progress" folder for a while, but I was finally inspired to complete it when I borrowed a guitar from my friend Joe. Thanks, Joe!
Another experiment with MetaSynth this time taking a single bowed waterphone sample and running it through the Spectrum Synth. I then experimented with the tempo (spectral timestretching), interpolation settings, and applying formant filters to…

the sheriff's back in town
that o' hired hand of dread
cleanin' up the channels
knockin' down the webs
his lights, they are a flashin'
stopped me in my tracks alone

he said it…

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.
