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
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

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 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…
Had these backing tracks laying around on my drive for a while and didn't know what to do with them, so grabbed my Ebow and a fretless electric that I built for myself a couple years ago and had a go. My fretless playing is really in its infancy…
My first attempt at a Blumlein or Mid/Side recording. This one is actually a mid/side recording as I used a directional mic in combo with a figure 8 ribbon mic set at 90 degrees from the main mic. Thanks to Pat Broaders for the loan of the ribbon…

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…
Lovely sounds. I can't figure out how you're using the slide on the picking hand - or I can't here where it might be in use... but just as a piece of music and playing this is beautiful.

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
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

Very cool guitars going on, creating a cool mellow atmosphere taking one into an upbeat movement of the mind and then back, Great !!!, having a cool listen. "G"
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…
