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
Wow... So envious of such talent. This is just an outstanding track, Kirk. If ever you'd like to play anything (and I mean anything) on any of my tracks, just say the word! Damn this song is beautiful. I bow to the master.

A moody solo acoustic thing that I came up with playing in a long forgotten tuning. Just got a new Zoom H4N, so this was recorded in my shop sitting at my reedmaking bench may 12 2009
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…

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…
Mining the archives a bit. This is an alternate take of my "Jimi Jam" from a couple of years ago. Live to 2 tracks with the Jamman. Really only sounds OK when cranked up loud enough that your eardrums threaten to meet in the middle. LOL!!
Several years ago I had a short lived duo with an oboe and English horn player named Nat. This is a demo from that period. It's an old old chord progression of mine that never really had a melody and Nat improvised this melody in the studio to…
This is big open prairie music. Out between Dodge City and Denver. I can see the buffalo grazing and the hawks slowly circling
somewhere between the bent grasses and a wisp of cloud.

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…
Wow, I had my eyes closed while listening to this, but when I opened my eyes in the middle, I could swear I was seeing light particles moving around to the music! Mahalo!

This is probably my last track for this year's RPM Challenge (leaving it incomplete for 2011). I'm kind of worn out and not feeling super inspired this year and I sort of…
This song was born on the 18th of Feb. 2011. It was the last piece I wrote/recorded for the challenge. It was a very sad day for me, almost as if all my usual winter sadness was concentrated and crammed into one day. The process of writing and…
Well, about six months ago, I uploaded a rough study called "Songwriting Day One." I wasn't sure where the song would go, but words came in January just in time for this year's RPM album... And before I forget... Curse you Bm!!!
GENEVIEVE…
One more to go and I'm slapping them together.
This is 3 layered drum loops. Some dupes and some play along.
I've managed to grow a huge beard this RPM.
I think I'm starting to look like Gandolf. :)
Early seventies type electric blues thing.
Here's some lyrics:
Bye Bi Baby
Sorry to see you fly
Bye Bi Baby
Sorry to see you fly
You wanted the one thing I couldn't give you
No matter how hard I tried
Bye Bi Baby
We had some fun…
bit of a key change, and temperament,
just as small note: the opening and closing strings really buzz cool in headphones, something i though i might give a try too
This one is more of a reading set to music of part of a piece i wrote about a place i used to live. We used to walk most days down into the valley and i long to be back there, hopefully one day i will ...
There are a few fluffs in the reading…

This was written as part of a concept album inspired by the work of Pablo Picasso ,Trevor Lewis is a member of Songcrafters music forum , he came up with the idea of writing poems to 12 Picasso paintings , then put them out for people to put music…
Final version
Guitar, mandolin and voice.
this doesn't fit with my rpm project AT ALL so i may not use it but i like the way it came out. I recorded the music for Bethan Mathis' RPM project but she didn't have time to use it (her album is…

John Blythm and Jon Ruse with most fingers in the pie. Mustachioed (on One Side) WIllie Lee Harlot on trumpet.

I started off with an idea to record some harmonized diminished arpeggios and the other riffs just happened along the way. Inspired by Dethklok, hope you like it.
Inspired by the scene in the movie Hustle & Flow where they make the song "Whoop That Trick," I made this jam based (loosely) on the main riff to that song with extra stuff. The strange thing about the main riff is that I'm playing (low) octaves…

I say those internal mics sound pretty darn good! Cool composition. Lots of nice changes in this.
..'hope you are well, man. : )
Wonderful composition beautifully delivered. I hope to catch up with more another day.
Now I can get some sleep. ;)
Wow..totally unexpected and wonderful. No one-trick pony, you. Lovely Celtci feel and superbly executed.
OMG beautiful. Emotion just drips, and well-recorded too.
Stunning fingerstyle. Hope you come out of recording hibernation soon.
Sparkling and enchanting!
Great track!
Such a beaut.
Whilst mining for unexcavated Lynch, I discovered this awesomeness!
nice, excellent finger picking!
this is a nice one Kirk!

You are an amazing musician, add another fan to the list.
Incredible....just amazing....
Beautiful tune! That H4n is a blast lovin mine.
I really enjoy this one. Many thanks!

Very cool track man! If you ever achieve that sound in your head tell me how you did it because I never have either!
Lovely song man!
I remember the rough version. This came out great Keith!
Cool sounds man! Careful Bethan- sounds like there may be aliens lurking in that soapy water!
I love anything where the 9nth is emphasized in a chord. One of my favorites of yours!
Nice! Acoustic guitar in the lead? Interesting effects on it!
Damn- I almost missed this one. Great stuff Rick! One of your best in my opinion
Ha! Brilliant!
Can't wait to hear the rest of these. Beautiful! Some of the strings almost sound like they have a touch of distortion on them and it's a cool effect
This is great Reg!
Great piece of work this is!
Great production and vocals! Very Nice!
Just makes me feel good!
Very cool jam!
Gorgeous!
Rough or not this is a great song man!
Ah Yes- Mustachioed Willy Lee Harlot. There's a name I haven't heard in years. Master of understatement he was!
You'll have to excuse me while I search the floor for my jaw! I needed a good ass kicking like this this morning!
Poor Johnny! That woman wasn't worth it
Good Lord! That's heavy as hell! And you like my phrasing? I wish I had half your chops!
