Each musical performance is logged by ID number, beat per minute, instrument played, title (indicating musical genre) and duration in the extensive included documentation making finding just the right piece of music when you want it easy. Edd Kolakowski, Senior concert Technician at Steinway Hall, prepared and tuned all the keyboards on these CD's.
He was trained in the old Steinway school and tempered by decades of making the keyboards of everybody from Arthur Rubinstein to Guns 'N' Roses play perfectly, in tune and sound good. Matt Rollings is filled with infinite inventiveness, and plays each keyboard in that unique way that defines the instrument. Now, Matt Rollings can make a major contribution to your music in this essential songwriting/music producing tool.
Also, these tracks are great beds for voice overs, song ideas and production music needs. Once you add your creativity by means of overdubbing you are able to use these tracks free of any licensing fees. .
