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?

Mellow morning mist fall
Melting into day
This summer said son, you are lazy
Don’t follow any example, break every rule
After awhile you’ll find it’s so easy to do
Just stay within the limits of your love
Soon the air will turn colder…
Lots of stuff going on here. Homegrown Piano loop, 12 string and 6 string acoustic loops. Some fuzzed up guitars, bass, and a sprinkle of harmonica.
Oh yeah, and Zippo slide....
Jamming with a couple buddies. I screwed the lyrics up but it was fun to do. Who doesn't want to at least try an AC/DC tune?
A live recording:
Me: Vox, Bass
Joel: Guitar, Backing Vox
Chris: Drums, Backing Vox
For 2011 RPM Challenge album John the Resonator
A Sword and Sorcery parody. With Elvis.
Daughter Brit sang the vocal in the middle part.
Elvis was the mountain king
Who ruled the land of El-Karyaang
His wife Priscilla lady fair
Was taken…
I'm sill looking for better lyrics for this but i like listening to it. EDIT i found them - see v2
It's been up at the Challenge site for a few days so i thought it ought to be up here too
This song was inspired by a melody my then 2 year old daughter was playing on the harmonica one day back in 2004. I picked up my guitar and strummed along....I kept playing around with it and "Caught in the Rain" was born.
A live studio take,made in San Francisco's "Different Fur Studio"deep in the heart of the "mission district"..a live audience made it a lot of fun!2010
Got bumps on my body
One under my eye
Been there since birth
I don't know why
Have one on my leg and one on my back
I guess it's better than having a heart attack
Someone said "Know thyself" he was pretty wise
I thought I knew me pretty…
This is the instrumental version of A Cast of Billions. I have a hard time judging my own voice (thus a true singer I am not) and it seems this vocal was rougher than most of mine. So, lets try over again with this mix.

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!

dynamite! making that guitar really talk.

Very nice guitar work here , this one sure takes on a real cool trip into the sounds my Friend, "G"
Hell yeah!
In-cre-di-ble!!
Outstanding Kirk! Beautiful work.
Piece, full of fading lights. Is an ambient blues.

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.
