More stuff from the ancient archives rescued from the same cassette tape as Last Nights Fun. This time a set of 3 Irish reels Live at a concert back around 1992
These tracks are getting me ready for a night out in Dublin on 14th. Can't wait. We had such a great time in County Clare a few weeks ago. The music was like this, amazing!

It's not a bad tuning. I have been stuck on 1/2 step down for a while now. You lose a bit of the tone, but it makes for a good dirty sound. My Jackson likes the tuning, but the strat copy and my les paul copy don't. I usually keep one of my acoustics and the strat in open G, the other acoustic in drop D, jackson in half step down high and low e to d, and my other electric in standard. Just run the whole spectrum of easy tunings lol.

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
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
why is it I always forget to log-in when I comment on your stuff? So...I'll say it again..."Nice to see this side of your music, and hear you just RIP up, Kirk! Kick out the jams! "

Solo acoustic guitar recorded January 2nd 2009. Hope to do a longer more developed version at some point ,but for now just a short version to learn more about using new DAW software.

Here's a partially-orchestrated preview of a song we're currently writing. Another big toe-tapper, this one, a lovely 6/4 piece, an ode to half-diminished sevenths, and minor ninths, wherever they may fall.
The title comes from a quote from…
Just working out some rhythms. Toucans come in at about 1 minute.. wish I could get the sound onto vinyl for some proper scratching. I used Sandbags' awesome generative sequencer Elysium for some of the ambient and lower pitched toucans. The lead…
Shaken, not stirred please.
Experimenting more with sandbags' Elysium. This time I used it to trigger elephant samples for part of the percussion section.
Written and recorded sometime in 2008.
I was a bit hesitant to upload this one, but I do think the melody is rather nice... :)
One of the first tunes I wrote and recorded with the RC-20 looper given to me by Kirk Lynch. Don't remember much…
Just a spontaneous (and very rough) two hour tune. Written and recorded yesterday, edited and mixed today. I might as well get it uploaded now because I'll be spending the next two weeks preparing to move across the country.

I made this simple song to try out playing an acoustic guitar with an ebow. It works, but it's quite quiet. The movement of the fingers on the fretboard is louder than the sounds. I didn't use any effects on the guitar tracks.

This is my second experiment with "song form".
In this case I tried out probably the simplest form: "IABABCABE" where I - intro, A - verse, B - chorus, C - break, E - end.
Although I'm not sure if the verse is supposed to build into the…
NOT FINISHED. another draft. just putting it up here so that i kick myself in the pants to flesh it out and write verses and whatnot and redo everything. great! this draft is continuously replaced with newer versions. check back, please! (oh yeah…

For our beautiful son Willem, in French Guillaume.
recorded in my livingroom, 16-7-2009.
I called the song Guillaume before because of the beautiful sound.
Since 2012 I changed the title of the song into : Willem.
Because that makes much…

I have the sleezy dive all picked out. Come by any time! If we do it up right we'll both end up in the county slammer! Laughed my butt off!
Fascinating! No one else sounds like you for sure!!
Awesome toucans! Love that lead melody
Very cool sounds
Love the doubled panned guitars. Great feel to this one!
Jeez- why the hesitation? This is gorgeous! Love the harmony guitars
Sounds like a road trip tune. Good luck with the move- it's always a pain in the rear. Nice tune man!
This just tears me up. I hope comments are working again. Beautiful!
How very inventive of you. Nice track!
I like the way you've blended different styles on this one. Cool!
Wonderful melodies and great vocals
I tried to comment on this one this morning, but it didn't go through. Hope this one does. This just a wonderful track!
This is just fabulous! Touching!
How creative! Great stuff!
Great fun. A really great 24hr effort altogether!
Has kind of a Floyd vibe about it- like it!
Yes- I could get lost in this space. Nice stuff!
Needs to be a soundtrack for a film. Nice!
I've run out of superlatives to describe your voice! Love the chord progression too
Absolutely gorgeous track guys!
