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

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…
When I hear these tracks, I always feel I missed out on some great times. But, having said that, the atmosphere comes through and the music is superb.
Long live folk!!
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…

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…
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

Another one from back when I was tracking to actual tape. Was going to do a new version at some point, but decided I had lost interest. Sometimes there's no sense in recreating the past! Recorded probably the beginning of 2007
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…

this is classical music half the parts are played live in one go then copied for other instruments. the original takes are three and a half minutes long then copied to make this 6 minute piece all the parts were played on the laptop keyboard…
I am not BT, so no rain drops were quantized in this production.
Storm was recorded last night on my Tascam DR-07 (with wind filter and limiter).
Just a simple piano improv. That of course had to be tweaked far out of the improv stage.
Pain is inspired by my bout with severe nerve damage in my lower back. As anyone who has ever had a good hurt can tell you, it gives you an internal feeling of chaos that often comes and goes in waves and spikes. The music follows this pattern…
Just a quick conceptual sketch of a new piece we're brewing. 210 bpm, 5/4, with 6 bars per phrase. We'll probably take this down once we've got more there. Our poor pianist will probably get carpal-tunnel syndrome from this.
Instrumentation…
it is icy. it moves. it is glacially inevitable. the listener may percieve tension. a desire to break free. a wish to increase velocity. it is impossible. it will proceed at its own pace. relax.
White Light was written in June along with 10 other "Off the cuff" tunes. Just before the great flood in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Our house was flooded and slowly being rebuilt. This is 4th of the 10 to be recorded.
Recorded: August 8, 2009
Details: Epiphone Les Paul (DADGAD/DADGBE - capo III), Seymour Duncan Pickups, POD XT, Boss RC-20 Looper, Audacity, Sound Forge.
I'm convinced that composing/recording daily is the best way to really find out if a DAW fits your workflow. And I think Ableton Live nailed its final nail in the coffin for me tonight.
See, if I weren't writing so much, so quickly, I would be…

12 string? Beautiful
Wonderful tune, superbly played!
I'm usually not a fan of a big celtic sound, but this is just amazing. Beautiful and happy. This really moves me.
~In ancient ages we drank (a bit, of course) and danced by candlelight~
Oh Kirk, it's lovely. I shall enjoy this one as much as the others. Thank you!
Very nice and lovely..! Very very very!

Maybe I'm just in the mood for dark and slightly disturbing this morning, but I like this!
Lovely as always! That build up at about 4 minutes is just great
Wow- This is a refreshing change of pace for you- Lovely stuff!!
Nice moody piece!
I needed a good butt kicking this morning- thanks!
The storm is the perfect backdrop for this- nice!
Oooh- that is some pain!. Love the storm sounds in the background
Very cool- had to come back and check it out again. Love it when the bass drops out and then re- appears
Not my usual cup of tea, but this is really well done. Great textures and that shift at about 3 minutes is just too cool!
Has attitude! I like it!!
Love the sinister chord progression!
Wackiness incarnate! Great fun. Can't wait to hear more
Oh Yeah- laid back nice stuff!!
A wonderful icy trip. Great sounds!
Great hook - really nice sounding production. Love the guitar tones!
