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.

Recorded in 2005.
The keyboard sound in the second half is a backwards electric piano processed through a triggered filter (kind of like a Mutron III).
Muted the vocals cos I'm not too pleased with the lyrics or performance.
I was inspired to make this instrumental track when I heard some great drum loops made by alividlife and uploaded to Looperman.
I hope you enjoy listening as much as I did making it.
In the time honored tradition of setting Bible text to music Norm Harris reads a passage from Exodus, King James version and provides percussion against a bowed bass guitar, 3 tracks of fretless guitar in feedback mode, trap set, orchestral…
I am leaving this week for a while but couldnt resist adding as the third collaborator on this excellent track by Keith Landry and Osckilo before I go.
Added some bass,ambient stings, and of course sleigh bell
Hope you guys like it.
See you…
Tharek sent me this beautifully played guitar arrangement and told me to have at it with the spirit of Christmas, so I wrote and recorded this little message of hope and peace. Somehow when I write music with and for fellow musicians across the…

When I first started to play Guitar in April 2009, Geir was there to help me create tracks...
This is one where I put down a an amature track and he made something from it...

This song was recorded in Oct. 2010, but it was written in 1970 or 71 after a phone call from my brother Joe who was on the lam from the law and living in Northern CA. The song proved prophetic. He was found dead of a drug overdose in Panhandle…

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!
