Straight ahead stone city electric blues for an old friend who used to spend hours spinning BB King and Mike Bloomfield records for me. Recorded back sometime at the end of 2006 on old analog equipment
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…

Oh wonderful! Such a treat to find a new track from you, SFS! Wonderful sounds as always. Love your style in this dreamy setting. I shall add it to my "Tunes from the Bordello" playlist. Bonus track!

An unusual traditional tune from the first Scartaglen album way back in 1984. Going through stuff the other day and ran across the LP and couldn't even remember the tune or having recorded it. I played guitar on this track

Thanks for posting this. It's always nice to go diggin' through the ol' stax to stumble on lost forgotten gems. I think I recall you guys playing this live...very happy to be able to hear it again now.
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…
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

Trip hop track, may be listened as a soundtrack...
As usual we tried to create a deep atmosphere with loads of melodies to give the listener a little journey full of new findings every time :)
Anyway this time the BPM is a bit quicker : 87…
Solo acoustic finger picking thing I've been working on for a while. Sometime around 1968 I started studying with Mr. George Bennett who taught me the rudiments of finger picking. Later when we played some gigs together he also taught me the rudiments…
Still under construction. Or maybe not. Bassline might be replaced by a real bass, maybe, and I'm not sure if I'll keep the Ableton Live softsynths as I may replace them with hardware. Maybe. I could just end up leaving it the way it is.
The exquisite bass was performed by my friend Edo Castro, but everything else was done on a Waldorf XTk.
In fact, originally the bass line was from an entirely other recording. What I did was to mute the other tracks and record all new ones…
This is an old one...just wanted to share it.
Do you feel the tears fall
fall from heaven
gathering as puddles at your feet
does it stain your shoes?
if i stay long...no I won't
i won't bare it any longer
do you feel the heart sigh…
well its nearly there. I like to put stuff that I am working on up so that I can listen to it in passing for a day or so, it gives me the chance to hear it with new ears. And maybe get a little feedback/ suggestions. I need to finish the vocal…
Written for Noel MacDuffie's dance theater piece, Soul Descending, this scene sees poor William mourned and laid to rest by his wife Abagail and the few remaining woman of the island community. Unseen by them (though sensed by Abagail), William…

That's Superman's guitar. Better give it back. He lives here now. PO# 359 Wawarsing N.Y. Please use express shipping.
Guitar sounds real solid. Is it the fat neck model? They're supposed to be real sweet for slide work.
Thanks for resurrecting "Clark". Someone up there is smiling. Blue ribbon meditative experiment. More please !!
