Last of the archives for now. A set of reels from the Last Nights Fun album. I did pipes, whistle and guitar on the last tune in the set. There's a live version of this up here too. This is the studio cut

Also from the "Last Nights Fun" album. This tune was written by Mike Dugger who played mando and fiddle. I think we did a really nice job of arranging this tune in retrospect. Roger Landes on guitar in the first half. I think I did the bouzouki…
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

More from the archives. This was the opening cut on Scartaglen's 1986 album "The Middle Path". A double jig, a slip jig, and 2 reels. I played bouzouki and Uilleann pipes on this cut

Title track from the Scartaglen album of the same name. There is also a live version of this up here. Oddly enough the live version of the set actually has the tune called Last Nights Fun, but for some reason we couldn't get that to work in the…
More from the way back machine. A set of polkas from the 1992 Scartaglen album "Last Nights Fun". Former band mate Mike Dugger wrote the first 2 tunes and I can't remember where we got the last tune. There is a live version of this up here. This…

Something you don't often hear from me and that's
straight drummin'. On this track I left the
original L/R kit track because it just sounded
more raw and nasty. Listen close and you'll hear different levels on the high hat. Plus, you can…
This is inspired by Frippitronics. Frippontroncis is I call non-traditional mood music invented by Robert Fripp master guitarist for King Crimson. It involves loops of sustained guitars, in this case using an e-bow. I usually do one of these…
Hey Kids, Happy RPM. Surf's up! I played this one for my lady, she said she wants to move to California. I'm not sure if that's because I've been wired up in the Dog House for 9 days or if she wishes to try some surfing. Go figure....
Anyway…
Well I *had* intended to try doing something different this week.
So technically I succeeded.
It's solo piano again, but I had to teach my left hand how to play this somewhat syncopated bass line, before I could actually compose against it…
When I uploaded this last night I thought it was a failure, this morning I am not so sure. I've just listened to it again and, while it fails to live up to my expectations when I started, there's something about it that I like.

Dark and sinister indeed! I like the use of your voice and the fact this it's incoherent makes it better. OOOOOH! That laughter at the end just caps it off!

War is tough. War is tough on everyone. and War has it's dues. So without further ado I entreat our men and women of the US Military an awesome Electronica piece that will rock your heart out.
just finished this one, represents a slightly new direction i am taking i think.
i am particuarly proud of the polyrhythmic sound i achieved. i was worried it mite become too cluttered (at the beginning) but i think i achieved clarity.
Comments on kirklynch's stuff
Wow Kirk, this is just incredible. I need a pint of Harp to go with it.
Oooooh! May I have this??
Now that has me jigging about the kitchen this morning
You're sure right about the arrangement -- it's perfect. A really sweet tune.
Kirk, I really love this one, especially Jezaig. Those guitars - Just phenomenal!
Skill, beauty and atmosphere. Wonderful stuff. Bee
Wow! This is the real deal!
I can see one huge downloadfest in my future.
I demand more archives immediately.
This is a treat to listen to this morning!
Now that gets my energy flowing!!!! Time for a Sunday morning dance
Loved from the first few seconds. Always class!
(Pipes and whistles are my fave bits.)
Coolinfinity. Such masterful musicianship!

Great song man!
Really beautiful!
Nice one man! Love the drums!
Yes- Very different for you and very cool. Love this sort of thing!
What a riot! That had to have been big fun to do!
Lovely meditative quality about it!
Nice!

Yes! Very good tune!
Hooked after the first 10 seconds!
Beautiful man! You must be recording at least partly using a pickup- has that distinctive sound
Lovely layered vocals!
Love cool! Love those harmonics in the outro. Great stuff man!
Had a productive weekend I see! Really nice. Your tracks all have such a distinctive sound
Nice moody one guys!
Nice! Intense!
Haunting!
I can't imagine what it took to put this together. It's so dense, but it works really well!
I'm loving the way this is slowly developing at about the 5 and 6 minute marks. I'm still jealous of your clean guitar sounds!
Wow! Great stuff! This would be a blast to improvise over
