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 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.

Started out be an innocent little jazzy study in quartal harmony, but the DL4 was still in my signal path and things went downhill from there! Another done with my beloved '58 Stratotone

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…

Some friends throw other friends going away parties.
Songwriting friends say "hey, what a great idea for a song."
Tech notes:
I've been losing my voice today and ended up having to go back and do retakes to try to get as close to on-pitch as…
Some experimentation that started with sandbags saying that he was looking for a wood sound. I responded with marimba plus monster reverb... and I quickly noodled together an ambient thing.
I wondered aloud whether I was done or should continue…
Slack key guitar and baritone ukulele.
Hula version.
Pauoa Liko Ka Lehua is about the beautiful flowers (Lehua) of Pauoa. The double entendre (kaona or hidden meaning) involves a girl with swaying hips.:)
This is great. It's like it can't decide if it's Jazz or 20th century classical. Reminds me a bit of the first Mahavishnu record without the frantic aspect. That's it- I'm swiping some chord voicings from you for new inspiration
Originally this piece was written for a guitar. But I love my R3 so much! I'm playing with it. So this piece is just an electronic version. As always, all sound patches were programmed by me.
Alright, so it turns out that I lied.
THIS song is actually #60 of 2009. I forgot about how I turned the instrumental "lucid traum" into the spoken word 'drama' "wake me up" for a class project.

The Polka is thought to have originated in eastern europe by the Czechs. The people of west kerry in Ireland took the polka into their heart and are renowned for their own polkas. The two polkas in this recording are known to me as "John Ryans…
Yeah, so I finally consolidated my music collection over from my other mac and found my grand total for 2009.
This is my 60th track of 2009.
I wrote my first track for a MIDI class in the fall of 1999 (did I mention I'm a 10th year sophomore…
Yeah- what Yelyah said- doesn't sound like a demo to me. I especially like those little crunchy sounding percussion parts buried back there. Nice stuff!! Wish I had your engineering chops :)
New stuff has been slow in coming for me lately, but I found this lurking on my hard drive from a while back. Frankly don't remember how I did it except that it was all live to 2 tracks and at one point one of my synth patches glitched out on…
Made this over the last couple of days. all original no samples. Done with GR20 guitar synth, GT10 pedal board and Korg emx synth.
feedback welcomed thanks
Started off with me just goofing around with Battery and a couple of other NI things (which are new to me) and grew into this...
It may still have places to go.
