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 now. I renamed it for my 6 year old grandaughter as every time she hears it she says “that’s my Papa Kirk”

This is beautiful. It gets right into the center and tugs away.

Lisa D said October 22, 2011 8:29pm

Oh wow, this is fantastic ... heart-voice captured by music. Not many pieces bring a tear to my eye.

Guest said March 4, 2011 7:04pm

..Maybe for today this could be for Johnny....if Maggie is ok with that. Such a great song the playing is so uplifting.

haunting...love the feel makes me want to cry. thanks for your comments

yelyah said July 23, 2009 5:52am

I've always wondered what your Uilleann pipes music sounded like, since I saw it mentioned in your profile. Keep it coming. I want some more. :)

Lalo Oceja said July 21, 2009 3:19pm

so Irish... so beautiful

Wildgeas Music said July 21, 2009 3:54am

I really appreciate your music Kirk. I have a real soft spot for the bag pipes. Irish blood I guess..

yote said July 18, 2009 5:19pm

beautiful.

moschell said July 15, 2009 10:43pm

Nice. Nice to hear some pipes. Sweet tune.

VIVIAN CIRCLE said July 14, 2009 3:48pm

Splendid. A morning walk through dewey grass and sharp strands of sunlight.

inge said July 14, 2009 2:21pm

Thank you for your comment! With a smile, Inge (What a relaxing song is this one!)

dougsparling said July 11, 2009 4:58pm

I was thinking of your tune when I wrote this one a couple years ago: http://alonetone.com/dougsparling/tracks/teampall-an-cheathrair-alainn

dougsparling said July 11, 2009 4:55pm

Oh, 1991, Last Year's Fun, then...St. Stephen's Street? Been a while :)

dougsparling said July 11, 2009 4:48pm

My Scartaglen CDs are long buried in box in the garage...is that Valencia Harbour? Never the less, damn, that's a great tune, great playing. It almost makes me want a set of pipes again (don't worry, hearing your playing does for my piping desires exactly the same thing that Adagio for Strings does for my desire to write orchestral music...realise I'll never get remotely close to perfection)

Gilbert Neilson said July 7, 2009 4:25am

Great stuff here! Love those pipes.

dirtypictures said July 1, 2009 8:29pm

Wow. Lovely, makes me miss old Ireland.

Lalo Oceja said June 23, 2009 1:47am

thank you kirklynch for your encouraging comments... makes me wanna compose more!

Floppy Jalopy said June 22, 2009 4:38pm

THese are all very relaxing.Meditative even. Makes me want to go reconsider my instrumental pieces. I'm listening at work while formatting hard Drives, and a co-worker was interested , so I sent her the link.

glu said June 18, 2009 1:47pm

thanks! these are just short brainstorms... you are right, the last one sounds like an ending to a track... Maybe that's what it will eventually become, who knows!

lam said June 11, 2009 6:47pm

Nice, got my Irish blood flowin:)

eshar said June 10, 2009 11:56am

Something different indeed, but beautiful nevertheless. I love the sound of those pipes.

Uncle said June 7, 2009 6:29pm

So nice, good man! Contemplative, fluid. Sinking in...

VIVIAN CIRCLE said June 4, 2009 5:42pm

Hauntingly beautiful.

drakonis said June 1, 2009 8:57pm

Enchanting. There are a bunch of little tricks up your sleeve here, nice note bending and (tongue?) tremolo... skillfully played, I enjoyed letting it unfold around me.

Guest said June 1, 2009 7:36pm

fine workmanship laddie...thanks for the journey.

Guest said June 1, 2009 2:24pm

Beautiful song…….just great!

another cultural landslide said May 31, 2009 12:59am

Jaw dropping! I LOVE THIS TRACK! w;-)

carrantouhil723 said May 30, 2009 9:30pm

I am the one that spent 70 days backpacking Ireland. One leg was Lake Acoose to Killarney Nat'l Forest. I only came to towns once a week to acquire supplies and go to church. Your music reminds me of the best moments of my trips.

Guest said May 30, 2009 9:09pm

reminds me of backpacking from Lake Acoose across MacGillycuddy's Reeks into the Valley of the Eyes terminating in the Black Valley. I accomplished this alone and heard the Banshee in the Black Valley before the magic Killarney National Forest swallowed me.

Richard Hardrick said May 30, 2009 6:56pm

WOW GREAT SOUND!!!!! A nice travel to a forest place... rained... but warm

OHHO said May 30, 2009 3:48pm

Very cool! Love the sound of it.

Guest said May 30, 2009 2:17pm

My 1-year old daughter, Jasmine, is absolutely spellbound by this. It's such a joy to see - her eyes couldn't be any wider.

Guest said May 30, 2009 12:32pm

beautiful and inspiring!

childhoodsend said May 29, 2009 11:04pm

I love it. What a great instrument.

Breaking Light said May 29, 2009 6:54pm

I've always liked the sound of those pipes and this is a great showcase for your playing. I got visions of windswept moors and lonely seashores.

Sudara said May 29, 2009 6:47pm

Just gorgeous.

mmi said May 29, 2009 5:44pm

what glu said... times ten *sits stunned*

glu said May 29, 2009 5:21pm

WOAH! I get entranced by this kind of sound. It reminds me of the sensation I get with the didgeridoo. Monotonal foundation... it evokes a meditative state. Everything surrounding me can be moving rapidly but this sound slows down that internal clock.. ephemeral moments become everlasting... It moves melodically exactly when in needs to, and your pipe performance is just leaves me in awe. Thanks for uploading this amazing tune.

Guest said May 29, 2009 5:06pm

Oh wow! Clever stuff. Speaking as a celt, this gets right into the heart. Lucky little Maggie. Very well played too.

Guest said May 29, 2009 5:03pm

Oh loving the Celtic vibe, Papa Kirk!
