My music CD, Boundaries, was composed almost entirely using MAJA.
I didn't use it for every aspect of every song, as some of the material was written years before I developed MAJA. But I did use it quite extensively, leaning on it as needed for fresh ideas.
How did I use it? I used it to do exactly what I designed it to do - generate musical options - to help me write/compose and improvise more creatively.

BOUNDARIES -- Extremely eclectic, refreshingly new, and extremely innovative,
this music CD spans numerous musical genres including Contemporary, New Age,
Funk, and Hard Rock. "Boundaries" is definitely an apt album title! This is the
kind of CD you want to really listen to -- with your feet up in a dark room with
a glass of wine.
The CD contains 9 tracks -- all original music. But
what's interesting and unique about this CD is that aside from very limited use
of percussion, is that IT'S ALL GUITAR. Based on the complex and highly-layered
nature of the music, in many cases you'll probably have to listen to some of
tracks (Boundaries and Managed Anger as examples) several times to take it all
in and convince yourself of that fact -- because you'll swear your listening to
a full symphony.
The artist, Stephen Mazzoni,
has been playing the guitar for 27 years and has played in jazz and
classical guitar ensembles as well as numerous hard rock bands - and the
music reflects this diversity of experience. Some of his influences
include Eric Johnson, Steve Morse, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Yngwie
Malmsteen, John Petrucci, Al Dimeola, Eric Clapton, Steve Howe, Jimmy
Page, and Jimi Hendrix.
