Another cut from the 1988 cassette tape of a live performance by Scartaglen on the NPR show Mountain stage. This time some tunes from County Kerry.

Oh I love these trad, timeless sounds! What phenomenal musicianship! Crazy energy - fantastic spirit! The atmosphere really comes across in this recording - and the applause at the end? That's me!!
Fabulous sounds, Sir FS!
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…

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

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

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…
I'll thank and type Paul MacDonald one more time. Maybe he'll google his name and have a bit better chance of landing here for his R&C's. I like this a lot, Kirk.

Hey, I even clapped at the end. Just couldn't help myself. Wonderful suite. The minor keyed opening had me smiling with a tear in my eye. Hugely enjoyed this. Glad you scrounged it up. Sounds good and feels good.
Welcome to your first lesson in post-apocalyptic ballroom dancing for Martians and Manhunters alike. The track is not really cha-cha, but more like futurejazz, or 1960s mood music done by robots and mutants. 1-2-cha cha cha!
First draft in 2006…
So I just figured out that the EXS24 sampler instrument in Logic Pro (the DAW I use) can also import SoundFont2 files, which I happened to have a bunch of from a previous life as a Cakewalk user. All the tracks in this tune were played using old…
Dedicated to my friend Paul Lennon.
Once You asked me
If I could see the end
It's okay to tell the truth
I don't want you to pretend
And I said I would not lie
But I don't believe it ends
It goes on And on Forever Forever
It goes on…
“my jetpack” a floaty, atmospheric type piece.
Notes:
I’m not thrilled with the strings (the part that only shows up once in the piece). I need to blend them more. They’re too abrupt.
I think the “percussion” may get too loud towards the end…
I came up with the main bass riff on my electric bass, but after recording it I was unhappy with the tone, so I used a sampled upright bass. On top of that is a layer of doodling "lead guitar" (played on my bass), a dreamy semi-harsh organ sound…
This is a bonus track as it didn't make the album
For those of you who know my stuff - does this sound like it works? or is it too much like filler - the vocals are effected, there's a drum loop - the guitar is just chopped out of a jam - i…
lullaby featuring piano (but of course!)
Notes:
Today I learned how to add an insert effect to the master channel. The song was way quiet so it got boosted via a limiter. Hurray.
Right then, for the last few days I have been playing with a new program. ableton live 8. very different from what I have been using and am still trying to get it all sorted. This is my first effort with it and also my first ever go using vst…

Great playing, the different instruments blend together wonderfully. Wish I could say I had played on NPR!
Boy ... This is GOOD!
Kirk, this is super. Lowland pipes go staight to my soul.
...wow...love it
Love it ... shared it on Facebook as I'm sure some of my friends would like it too ...
What Sister said and double it! :) Mighty fine fiddling, pipes and whistle!
These live performances are just outstanding. Please, please, please keep digging them up and sharing them with us!

beautiful playing and overall sound, incredible arrangement!
such rich sounds. a pleasure to hear this.
Really liked that, I've had you on for the last hour or so, very pleasant
Some nice spacey fx on this, reverb and echo delicately used.
Wow, great, I've heard stuff like this before but it's usually by Irish folk, and it's really cool, love it.
very well done kirk
Man this hits home. I love this. So awesome! Thanks for posting this!

What a great way to start catching up on my listening backlog! Really enjoyed listening to this.

Spacey and spacious. You worked that delay to near exhaustion. Good for you. Much Enjoyed.
