Drones
A brand new collection of original music from Matt Lagan.
24 tracks, all different major and minor keys.
”I first started to create these drones to help myself with the filming of scales for my soon to be released saxophone masterclass (stay tuned!). They are really wonderful mood tracks to help you stay focused and play in tune. but I've also really been digging them for focusing while working, or relaxing at the end of the day.”
