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.

Some reflections after recording this song:
1. Mic positioning for a live take can drive you crazy
2. The lowest note I can comfortably sing is an A
3. A tortured soul can somehow write an amazing love song
4. I still have much to learn
There are 3 styles of the Rumba Guáguánco pattern: this one originates from the Cuban province of Matanzas (to the east of Havana).
“Rumba” is a Spanish term for a gathering of musicians, singers & dancers (what West Africans refer to…
This is a classical finger picked blues / classical guitar solo hybrid with lexicon reverberation and freeze pedal. There is some sloppiness. The idea was to push myself in playing and what I was playing melodically and harmonically.
Very interesting. Alonetone ate my first comment apparently. Thanks for the link the other day as well. Will be doing some reading over there again soon
OCCUPY 0112
It's a highland I call my land
It's an island in the sun
No matter how you measure it
It's always number one
If I had a house to occupy
I'd occupy my wish
But to have a house to occupy
I must defy the rich
We buy the…
My contribution to this year's RPM Kitchen Challenge.
Very silly.
Well, can’t you see the baby’s crawling
And pulling up all by herself
I can’t imagine what will be falling
When she climbs up on the shelf
See how much she likes to…
I have tried to capture that "stabbing"feeling that comes when someone says, "You were really pissed last night! Do you remember what you did?" And of course you don't remember! So you don't know whether you were a dickhead, or an arsehole or…
The third of three tracks in this year's "Winter Sketches" EP. As preparation for my concept for this year's RPM Challenge, ALL SOUNDS were produced on an iPhone. This track was recorded in a single pass using the Beatwave app.
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!

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!
