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…
I really love your sound and playing here. This will be my bench-mark. I will work on my acoustic and try to reach a height such as this, Your song will be my constant inspiration. Thank you good sir. It may take me a while, but your playing here has inspired me.
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

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…

Archival stuff from my distant past with former bandmates in Scartaglen. A set of traditional Irish tunes. Rescued from a cassette tape done at a concert back in the early 90's. Myself on Uilleann pipes and whistle. Mike dugger on guitar and fiddle…

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…
Really fun to listen to as well. Can imagine that fretless is hard to master, but you've sure done it. Fretless+ebow seems like a winning combo in your hands !!

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.
The initial…
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.

This really appeals to my Irish half. There's something about Irish folk music that brings a smile to one's face.

Wow - excellent! Love it!
..Cool, dr.!!!! (AND Thanks again fr lisnin!!)
wow !! that was an amazing listen !! cool technique that you sure master !!
May not be much metal, but you are definately the man. This makes me happy without being manic.

Love it, "Look at your list" Ha ha!
Really sweet tune, really sweetly played.
FN excellent! Get's my Irish up.....
Really fun to listen to as well. Can imagine that fretless is hard to master, but you've sure done it. Fretless+ebow seems like a winning combo in your hands !!

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
