Music For Pictures (AM on all tracks except drums) Track number: 1 Year: 2013 Album: N/A Genre: Jazz
More of a Jazz Rock Fusion Tune. I played all the Keyboards and Synth Solos and I added the Bass line on electric bass to replace the original sequenced bass line. The drums track was from Apple Loops in Logic with an added track of sequenced ride cymbal and end fills sequence.

Late Night (Remastered) Andrew Morgan Played all Parts Track number: 3 Year: 2013 Genre: Alternative
This is a track of keyboard and synth work I put together in Logic Pro 9. I like the modulation in the middle and how it gets back home again. The "sax" solos are live first takes as is the synth work in the other other keyboard tune.
