computer.\u00a0 It can play over 900 instruments and combine them into multi-track recordings that are as simple or as complex as can be imagined.<\/p>\n<p>Our desire to be on the road did not even begin to predict that we would want or could compose music.\u00a0 Neither of us are accomplished musicians, but we both enjoy music.\u00a0 As we have traveled around the country, the things that we saw, heard and felt inspired this blog.\u00a0 Then, we would see things and take pictures of them.\u00a0 Our videos seemed incomplete, because the music never quite matched what we were seeing or feeling.\u00a0 Sometimes just sitting by the ocean, the sounds of the sea would make music and as we tried to capture the sound, the feel was just not there.<\/p>\n<p><a

300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a>We were visiting some dealers in Santa Cruz and stopped by to see our old friend Arthur Hull.\u00a0 A master hand drummer, musician, UCSC professor and composer, we were in his home studio and Wendy spotted this thing that looked half computer and half keyboard hooked into Arthurs computer.\u00a0 When she asked what it was, Arthur said it was a KORG M3 that he had just bought in Japan and packed it up and carried it home.\u00a0 He described it as an orchestra in a box.<\/p>\n<p>A year or so pasted and we had been across country twice in the Grizzly.\u00a0 Still inspired by what we saw, we talked about what we could do as a hobby with each other that would break the seven day a week work habit we have become accustom to.\u00a0 Over the same period, we would always stop at the Guitar Centers around the country and pop in to play with the M3.\u00a0 Very expensive, but fun.<\/p>\n<p>About a month ago we had decided that we should buy a KORG.\u00a0 To our surprise, the company was overloaded with inventory and cut the price in half.\u00a0 Last Friday it arrived and we spent two days playing with it between work.\u00a0 Not only was it extremely relaxing to us both, it has inspired us in making music and with ideas for Keys.<\/p>\n<p>So, as a sort of joke, we created a new musical group called Chill Travelers.\u00a0 We even created a website <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chilltravelers.com\/\">www.chilltravelers.com<\/a> that will be expanded from it current holding state as we discover and create more new things.<\/p>\n<p>Are we nuts?\u00a0 Probably!<\/p>\n<p>Below are a few first musical compositions we have created with the M3.\u00a0 We hope you enjoy them.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color:
