This is a short soft Jazz piece I found while playing through a few chords this evening.
Guitar split (GR-20) left and right + (GR-20) sax.

This song was written about one man's journey through the psychedelic wilderness that is the barren runescape which is the Badlands.

Some more good fun with Brian Bazeley and Jarvis.
I added some drums and some horns to Jarvo's noodling.
There's probably room for vocals if anyone is feeling froggy.
Thanks Brian and Jarvis

Another short piece I threw together when I had access to a keyboard. If I ever have any extra money, I need to get a keyboard. Though I'm technically inclined, sometimes…
