CATS IN THE SUN (1995)

Ambient CD-ROM
Music to accompany photos by Hans Silvester
Japan: Isle / Synforest IS-003

Morgan has often used slide shows to enhance his solo concerts, so it was no surprise that he was invited to make music for a CD-ROM adaptation of a best-selling book of gorgeous photographs of cats on a Greek island, by the acclaimed German photographer Hans Silvester. The CD-ROM is appreciated by photography lovers, nature lovers, and by those who simply wish to relax and enjoy the gorgeous images and relaxing music. Most of the music was improvised freely by Morgan using samples of flute, guitar, vibraphone and piano. One of the four long pieces on this CD-ROM later evolved into the song "Sail Away", the closing track on the album "Home" by Japanese singer Sizzle Ohtaka.
