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.
Something completely different- Uilleann pipes(Irish bagpipes) and synth. I wrote this tune over 20 years ago in the style of traditional Irish slow airs. It was recorded way back in 1991 for an album that's been out of print for over 15 years…
A moody solo acoustic thing that I came up with playing in a long forgotten tuning. Just got a new Zoom H4N, so this was recorded in my shop sitting at my reedmaking bench may 12 2009

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…
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…

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…

These Bordello tunes are nice and relaxing.
I was ready for that 2nd chord in my song too. I didn't realize how uncomfortable my hand would get holding the same chord for a few minutes.

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…

Just one of those passing moods. Just finished today - august 2 2009. I resisted the temptation to try to develop it any further and just let it be what it is

After writing this song about our newly adopted dog, I asked Kavin if he like to play some slide guitar, knowing that he would come up with something terrific... I just had no idea how terrific.

I had a bit of a dry spell with writing new music but today I have decided to break it.
This is loosely based on another song of mine, titled Swell.
I hope you enjoy this.
Not terribly odd except for how I did it with Fretless gutiar.
I recently bought a used Fender Squier for $60, pulled the frets with pliers, filled the cuts with plastic wood, sanded, and jammed. Took about 2 hours to make the guitar fretless…
Another oldie but goodie (again, apologies for the few seconds of silence it takes to get to the intro). This song is the first that I really tried to record properly, written around Christmastime four or five years ago with my seventh grade…

A tune composed late in 2009, i've released it as well as other two tracks and some photos from a friend of mine as a micro-ep recently for free! Enjoy!
This is using a tuning I borrowed from The Smashing Pumpkins, which goes E-A-D-G#-B-E. Not…
The first recorded version of this song, this little folk song was originally written fifteen or so years ago with just the four chord rhythm guitar and single vocal. The song became what it is today when I needed to write additional verses for…
My submission for the Woody Project.
I started this jam in A minor then found out it was in C. So I figure I got as close as a guess can get.
I left it as is because it's a jam, and this tune should be jammed 300 million ways.
Enjoy Woody…

The Good Lifeless has Become Boundless

I've been noodling about with these chords for what feels like an eternity. They just are telling me what they want to be when they grow up... so I thought it's just time to record them and maybe solicit some kind of feedback.

Comments on kirklynch's stuff
Nice to hear vocals. Gaelic? My that's a mouthful. Just love these live performances and such superb music.
Hi, Kirk. Iam here for the pipes. I am a fan. Say hello to Aly Bain. Check out Lisa D, on alone tone
This just sparkles!!! William Eaton will be eating his art out!!
wow, the melodies in this are just incredible...
Def can see this for T.V. or film
Fantastic. Could listen to this all day.
Very tight! Great style and very authentic!
Nice sounds on this Kirk! Love the traditional Celtic sounds mixed with the modern ambiance. Keep me posted on your music! Thanks, Best Regards ,Rich
Hey Kirk, thanks for listening. As always, I appreciate your comments. I'd love to hear an acoustic & pipe RPM from you.... any plans??
Thanks for synth advice.
I need to buy a keyboard. Any suggestions for a decent fairly cheap keyboard. I would use it mainly for ambience and filling out the sound.
These Bordello tunes are nice and relaxing. I was ready for that 2nd chord in my song too. I didn't realize how uncomfortable my hand would get holding the same chord for a few minutes.
I'm ready for a bit of blended Irish whiskey added directly to my coffee. Let's party!
Very cool Kirk!
That is some very smooth playing Kirk.
Supergreat. That's one tight band.
A marvelous piece, Kirk...
