Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode
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 is gorgeous ... many, many take-your-breath-away moments. I didn't want it to end. And what a warm, shimmering tone you captured - great recording!
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…

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 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

What happened after too much time on youtube watching live vids of "voodoo chile" Noisy obnoxious and very cathartic for me! Live to 2tracks with the Jamman
the first multi track piece that I actually finished "in the box" in Cubase. An ambient kinda thing that grew out of playing around with the Line 6 DL4. Not sure I like the bow parts, but I may re do it later
One of my "Celtic" tracks - "Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day" is an old English carol and I think the melody is beautiful in its elegance and simplicity. I recorded this in the basement in 2005 or 2006. Penny whistle, bells, guitars and strings…
From 2005 - Another one of my early pieces written on Fruity Loops, I believe written along side Morning at the Quay. As much as I detest re-recording things, I could probably do it justice now (for what it is, but I cringe at the step programming…
I spent the day skrewing around with this Roumanian Minor scale again. I am really testing layered drums on this one, Toms mostly.
There's a lot happening. Acoustic, Strat, Bass, 4 Juno tracks, and all kinds of percussion.
Only a two chord change…
From the 24 hour album. Began this one 47 minutes into the 24hr session. Listen to the full work here: http://alonetone.com/glu/tracks/glus-24
I haven't touched this track in over two months. What does it need?
Instrumentation: Bamboo flute…
story: wings of chaos, wings of beauty. h.g. wells awakens from cyber-sleep in the "Chrysalis". the steam-driven moth-ship is now traveling slowly across an immense nebula. the engine's motoric rhythm generates the soundtrack to the view from…
Very rough sketch of something I am working on, with my even sketchier vocals. All about how we seem to be intent on using up everything this planet has to offer. Any ideas or comments please
Narrative: A lonely scientist was stationed to Tundzha Glacier in Antarctica to study fissures.
Instrumentation: I stretched, repitched, and looped two sections…
A long meditation/wank.
This weeks guitar lesson we started looking at melodic minor modes. I went home and started practicing scales. Wasn't long before I got stuck on Dorian flat 2. So I fired up the looper and recorded a session.
Funny…
Poured myself a small cup of acoustic guitar, half finger picking, half ebow. Nothing fancy, nothing magical, nothing fantastical, just something to relax through.
Otherwise known as the 'opus'. This song was my life for a good year. Left forgotten in the dusty hills of Santa Fe. This is pretty much the A section :)
Well now, this is actually a very old track, made back in March '09 and not that long after I started learning piano.
I was learning a very simple 12-bar blues piece and getting bored with the piano sound I started messing about with the Logic…
A skipping CD of children's music, an old accordion with sticky keys, some subterranean drums and synth bass, a departing train. Hoping to achieve some kind of glitchy transcendence through the broken fragments.

Wow - I closed my eyes and it became a soundtrack to a most beautiful and wonderful movie!
Wow! That's beautiful.
This is beautiful. It gets right into the center and tugs away.
Oh wow, this is fantastic ... heart-voice captured by music. Not many pieces bring a tear to my eye.
This is gorgeous ... many, many take-your-breath-away moments. I didn't want it to end. And what a warm, shimmering tone you captured - great recording!
Great technique, love the feel of it.
always my fav!!!
excellent track!!!!!
thanks for your support; MASTER KIRK!!!!!
Did you ever listen to John Renborne?
Wow got a real Blue eyed American approach to it . organ back + bass is spot on . Loved the stumbling drum kit
Got a Classic feel! Counterpoint, with triplets is really cool.
glorious as usual, Kirk. Glorious. Your stuff always hits a soft spot in my soul.
I think i need to go analog if it would make me play like this.......
more delay... :) missed this one....really nice
...And back again to listen to this little piece of perfection. Just magnificently played.
Outstanding track!
Fantastic! Wow!
Totally pro. Dig it!
Oh and the bow works just fine, i really dig it.

Glad to see you uploading the individual tracks from the 24- cool!
Inspires me to pick up the whistle again. Great!
Missed this one(easy to do with your catalog) Lovely track!
Such Beauty! Wonderful
What a wonderful trip- thank you!
Nice one! I too can hear strings on it just to fill it out a bit, or maybe even just double the guitar part.
Wow- all the little parts in the background are great. Nice textures!
Great stuff man! Your clean guitar sounds are just crystalline!
Wonderful! Love the ebow on the acoustic
Right up my alley- love it!
Beautiful!
