This is probably the last of this stuff from the archives that I'll upload. Rescued from a cassette tape of a live performance with former band mates in Scartaglen. These tunes are popular down in the Southwest of Ireland. Michael(Fiddle) and…
These are such fun tracks. Sheer listening pleasure.
When I was a senior at school, I used to hold a country dance class for the younger ones in the gym at lunchtimes. They used to display on Sports Day. Your music really has my feet tapping.
Another one from back when I was tracking to actual tape. Was going to do a new version at some point, but decided I had lost interest. Sometimes there's no sense in recreating the past! Recorded probably the beginning of 2007
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…
Hi Kirk, typically it is easiest to start talking about notes as numbers in the tuning. So say for instance a a fifth would be from note 1 (or 0) to note 12 (11). This page may help http://xenharmonic.wikispaces.com/19edo

I stopped back for a second listen. It's even better this time.
You have a lot going on in the song, and it's all going in the same direction.
You really know how to build a song!
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 hesitate to upload this, but there are a couple folks around who like this sort of thing. This is an edited down version of a jam I had with myself back at the end of 2007. Live to 2 tracks with the aid of the Jamman. I think it was the first…
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…

Several years ago I had a short lived duo with an oboe and English horn player named Nat. This is a demo from that period. It's an old old chord progression of mine that never really had a melody and Nat improvised this melody in the studio to…
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…

Written and Recorded April 10/11, 2010
Inspired a bit by a painting I saw today: http://gowalla.com/checkins/6575047
Details: Epiphone Les Paul (EBEGAD/BBEGAD, Capo II), Seymour Duncan Pickups, POD XT, Boss RC-20 Looper, Audacity.
Today, I did a live improv basically because I had to.
For some history, back when I was doing song-a-day in August, I was generally doing my daily song as the last thing of the day. It worked well. It gave me a nearly a full day to come up with…
Part of a series of songs based on stories written as random memories of a character born around 1870 and his escape from poverty and hardship. This song has no words, but consider the uncertain guitar solo as a reflection of his struggle in…
Part 3 - Appeal and Backstory (reprise)
Appeal.
In which Johnny puts his side of the story.
Backstory (reprise)
In which Julia re-appears and more evidence is revealed.

That keeps me overflowing…
I'm not sure if I'm happy with how the mastering came out but I figured it's time to let this one fly and get some feedback on it. I recorded the 'robot' voice using Audio Hijack Pro to record my Apple's system voice and then added some effects…
Its my first attempt at writing a piece for piano. I think this would probably best be played by two players..
if I ever write out the piece on paper, it might have to be so.
I would value any of your comments greatly, as I greatly want to improve…

Actual tape has a certain timbre I have always liked. This forward leaning lead is most angular and sweet. Faved.
