On a related note: I've wrestled with whether or not it is worth my time to spend working not these pieces (and it is quite time-consuming). After all, I could be writing more traditional music that I will actually perform on the job and sell on the website. But then I decided that the last thing I want to do is start justifying everything I do by a debatable notion of 'worth'. One can never know what will be worth something down the road, and more often than not the value of something is hidden from our view for a long time. What I do know is that I am compelled to learn to use this software and write music with it. This is enough for me right now.
There's so much to learn when using Logic Studio, that I'm in a world of wonderful discovery (look what I can do!) and maddening frustration (what the heck happened?). Anyway this album, which I call "Bits and Pieces," is where I'll post electronic pieces that I've made while stretching my Logic musical muscles. About 99.9% of this music will be generated with a MIDI keyboard and the software synthesizers built into the program. However, I can't guarantee that an acoustic instrument won't find it's way into any of these songs.

I really dig "Medicine Man" it's changed so much since I last heard it! I love the groove and post-apocalyptic feel.

Yeah, I can see what you mean. But I really liked the picture... Maybe I'll look for another one that I like.

My favorite is Desert Road - except that it ends when it seems that it should still keep going - maybe you ran out of gas? Seriously, Bit and PIeces is my favorite section of the media, although I like other individual pieces. Number 2 is Medicine Man, maybe because I can dance to both of them.
