New stuff has been slow in coming for me lately, but I found this lurking on my hard drive from a while back. Frankly don't remember how I did it except that it was all live to 2 tracks and at one point one of my synth patches glitched out on…
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
I'm a complete idiot when it comes to all things midi related. Recently got myself a midi keyboard though and came up with this short piece just messing with sounds in Proteus. Really looking forward to the possibilities of combining this sort…
Rough sketch of a proposed dreamy 12 string piece that I couldn't pull off on the 12 string so did this quick electric version with vocal pads. Not sure of the recording quality- sounds OK in my cans and kinda crappy on my monitors. Recorded march…
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.

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

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…
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…

Thanks Kirk. I was really experimenting with different guitar sounds. For the acoustic I was trying to use a closet door as a way to reduce some of the noise I was having issues with.
I actually turned the bass and acoustic into samples and looped them so I could play around wwith some lead guitar. It's pretty cool beacuse I'm learning new techniques from Norm, and you idea on the acoustic is helping me find a cleaner way to record acoustic. Thanks again!

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…
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…

Wonderful! I do an Irish duet with a fiddle player every St. Patty's day, and I know how exacting this kind of music can be. When it's this good, it's a pure delight to listen to.

Background music for a fun father/daughter YouTube video editing collaboration/experiment (embedded here.) My daughter and I filmed and edited the movie, and I wrote the music after hearing some video-game music my daughter wanted me to emulate…
I can hear the influence of the Bulgarian Duda players in some of the keyboard melodies. Great stuff. Meant to get back and listen to the rest of your stuff for a while now- thanks for this
Earlier this year I was in a community choir, mostly senior citizens performing songs by bands like Soundgarden and Green Day. One of the songs, "Grateful," had a lyric that went 'In a city of strangers/I have a family of friends.' It was Halloween…
One of the songfight inspired titles for RPM 2007. This was also picked out of a hat. This one is the mother of all semitone slide bass/root note chord smashers. It's everywhere. The lyrics are some of my favorite, though most people have no idea…
Enjoying your stuff Gary. Thanks for the comments as well. That was ebow on the "timekeeper" cut. I'll check out more of your stuff when I have a bit more time. Love the chorus on this BTW
uncle-nephew collaboration:
My nephew banged on the guitar, I found a few usable loops in there. I had him sing" the people in the city are runnin' 'cause the robots in the…
This song is done in a dropped F tuning. I won't bore you with the tuning itself, but the same tuning makes an appearance in Consequence, Painted Tense, 70 and others. My favorite part of the song is the verse after the solo. For some reason I…
the music is a gift to char. she is a generous friend. she is "charming". this is an idea from her. she spoke of the inner child. we all have an inner child. i wanted to write a lullaby. it is slow, gentle and soft. it attempts to describe wonder…
Comments on kirklynch's stuff
Wow!
From a minimalistic beginning this grows into well orchestrated piece. I like it.
Calm japanese feeling. Rsesembles a bit of Sakamoto's work
I like those arpeggios. Reminds me of Robert Fripp
beautiful and relaxing like this very much
An excellent compilation of tunes Kirk, and not only enjoyed by me, but my son also enjoyed your music too. :)
phrygian? dorian? Then a beautiful major chord...perfect way to end off my evening. Thanks!
Whatever am I about, while doing up my list again, I forgot this earth shattering piece!
Thanks much, man!
Sweet as it gets! Cheers d.
Well played! Full of changes like from majeur to mineur and back, good one!

I dig this one very soothing...Awesome!
So Beautiful!!
I just love the atmosphere these tracks have, such good fun. What a fantastic night out!
Thanks for your recent comments mate.
Very good! Reminds me of my time in Limerick, Ireland. I was there studying last spring =).
Very moving

Great tune! Really powerful!

Can't wait to hear the larger work- this is fascinating!!

Great fun collaboration. Nothing like a good healthy dose of musical violence every once in a while!!!
Another beauty Richard. Had not heard this one before
Excellent! Love the kinda Beatlesque vocals and the guitar sounds!!
Wonderful vocal arrangement!!
Now that ROCKS- I needed a good dose of something like this this morning. Cool stuff
