Just one of those passing moods. Just finished today - august 2 2009. I resisted the temptation to try to develop it any further and just let it be what it is
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
Kirk, I like how you make it up, ( the last three words would be italicised if I could) What I mean is, you pull these songs out of a moment. And get to go someplace new and different. Getting to go there vicariously we ride along. Those are the moments we who play,sing write live for: when we touch into the other places. I admire how you find your self there. Does your world around you get what you do? And, thanks for your comments. And and, yeah, I realized Underneath My Skin had about 30 seconds of silence magically appended to it. My computer has had a ghost in the machine ever since the dread virus/trojan horse of February trashed its way through it. It's healed, but still has nightmares I guess. I'm pushing Steve my collaborator to get together again for some real sessions, so we can finally finish that song, and figure out what to do with the really great stuff we weren't able to get to in the RPM.
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

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…
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!!
oh ho! somebody rocks! so very tasty. had me movin' right across the floor. I would be very calm and satisfied afte laying down those lines..... so it must work, this anger management.

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…

Straight ahead stone city electric blues for an old friend who used to spend hours spinning BB King and Mike Bloomfield records for me. Recorded back sometime at the end of 2006 on old analog equipment

Written, recorded, and mixed in 24 hours. August 01-02, 2009, from 6am to 6am.
Instrumentation: Two acoustic guitars, electric guitar (picked and bowed), fretless bass, about 7 different flutes, two tabla drums, rattles, tambourine, didgeridoo…
I came up with the initial rhythmic riff on my bass, then looped it to create the basis for this track. Then, I layered another "lead" bass track on top of that, added some percussion, and finally topped it off with an electric piano-ish sound…
Growing up is hard.

I once had a Facebook Friend named Shannon Elizabeth Hardwick. A poet, from Midland, Texas, doing advanced studies at Sarah Lawrence. She was so good she could write a hundred pages about how she couldn…
This tune was written on the day I bought my vintage Yamaha CP-25 electric piano and returned to hear that Dennis Hopper had passed away. I fired up the gear and cranked this out. The sound of the piano made me feel like Ray Manzarek...thus the…
Spun around like a seer's needle
A philosopher so lost in his riddle
Tries to speak but no longer able
Drifting in the deepest dream

This one took me a while [years!] to complete - how did it come out?
Freesound samples used…
In one part I harmonized the E Phrygian intro with G Mixolydian, thought that was kinda neat. In the original tune I like the lyrics: "I am not a sailor, I am a captain, I am a captain." Electric guitar kicks in around the half way point.
*Pilón* reveals a Cuban pattern, traditionally played on Timbales, but in this case on Jr. Congas & Congas (with gated reverberation and flanger effect). The rhythm of Pilón is based on the motions of pounding sugar cane.
A new son reveals…

Memories long in music sleeping,
No more sleeping,
No more dumb:
Delicate phantoms softly creeping
Softly back from the old-world come.
Faintest odours around them straying,
Suddenly straying
In chambers dim;
Whispering silks in order…

I really like your style of playing sir.
very nice track Kirk.
That was the best 1:39 of my entire day. Wow.
Very nice guitar playing!
You Have Tapped into Something Special Here Mr Lynch....... Sublime..
really too pretty. Much enjoyed.
Flying on, flying free

very very nice.
Loved the oboesque solo voice, very lyrical. Not so sure about the FM harp/bell sounding thing. Beautiful composition though.
nice guitar tone
cool - title says it all
nice playing
You just play so well!
Beautifully played guitar. I love the tone you got here, both the clean and overdriven sounds.
This is awesome! I love the percussion sounds.
your guitar is complaining with a suppressed anger... I think she want more heavy tracks like this :) of course me too. Excellent track

Damn- I had forgotten how brilliant this was! I hope you're still out there making music man!
Lovely stuff! Missed this one
Well damn. Just when I was going to check out the other half of the album I can't get it to play
Great songwriting!
Sweet! Like the contrast in the middle section
I love it when I find something in favorites I haven't heard in ages and it's even better than I remember. Super track!
Been too long since I've heard this old favorite. Nice!
Nice! Missed this one of yours
A certain Mr. Gibbons just got his ass kicked!
Like being pursued by out of control machines bent on destruction! UH- Can we trade hands? Mine don't work like this
Wow! Thanks to Tess for pointing this one out. Great piece of work! Mix sounds really good in cans
Neat! Fun jam!
Quite beautiful!
Interesting stuff! I have enough trouble with 12 notes. What do you call all the extra ones!
Gorgeous!
Super nice groove man!
Excellent!
How Beautiful!
