Music and Art are my life. And I grew up listening obsessively to icons like Doris Day, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald and Glen Miller. I love the deep feeling and original twist they put on their music. It seems to me that the deeper the individual life experience, the deeper that the music speaks - with a kind of quality and dedication that lives on past a life and beyond.

​

My music aims to be a calming and serene haven in a sometimes crazy world. I strive to be gentle, poetic, meaningful and as deeply relaxing as a warm breeze on a summer afternoon. In this respect its very subtle and full of gentle dynamics, tone variations and ambience.

Unfortunately, when I uploaded my music to itunes I noticed that the dynamics and nuances in the mix were completely ironed out flat! Instead of a warm breeze on a summer aftertnoon, I was looking down at roadkill on a summer highway! In short, the delicate textures I'd crafted just did not survive the standard compression process. 

​

It all felt very bad for a while, looking down at that heart-breaking roadkill. But thankfully, in  the end, the silver lining was clear—hosting my music on my own website gave me full control over the sound, the presentation, and the connection with listeners.

No compression, no compromise—just music, exactly as I intended it. 

In this light, I have chosen to release all my music Exclusively here on my Wix website www.moorethanart.com 

​

However, while my music isn’t available for 'purchase' through iTunes (because their system compresses the audio) once downloaded from my website here, you can still add it to your iTunes library and play it there in full, studio-quality sound - the best of both worlds! 

​

​All of my downloadable music is available as am Alac file (Apple lossless audio codec), which  preserves the original sound quality. Therefore, it represents that sweet spot between an mp3 and a wav, while also having the benefit of not being too large a file. So I hope that the joy I put into my music brings a little joy your way too!

​Just add your Alac file to your iTunes library (on Windows) or the Music app (on Mac) first. That’s the key step before syncing it to your iPhone.

​

I currently have a little jostling 'production line' of songs that have been patiently waiting in the wings of my life for their chance to shine. I hope I can do them justice. It has certainly taken me decades to find my artistic voice. 

​

At present I offer music downloads here. In the future I will also be selling hand-signed CD albums as well as a hand-signed Music Poster. What's a Music Poster?

​Well, I always create some cover art to accompany my songs. Sometimes I use one of my paintings, other times - living in beautiful Scotland - it encourages my interest in photography. If it's an original song, I often add the lyrics I have written. 

For example, this summer was so hot that the Yellow Gorse was breathtaking against the blue skies. It was a perfect match for my cover version of 'Once Upon A Summertime' - complete with village church bells! And it's lovely to add another layer of song appreciation.

​

All physical items I sell: from Fine Art Prints, to music CD's to Music Posters all are hand-signed by Laurel Moore. Additionally, they all include an individual ID code, together with an embossed official 'mark of authenticity' which verifies they are the real thing. 

​

On my website I have organized my Music page into:  Vocal, Saxophone, Acoustic and Christmas. 

These song are a mixture of both my new original and cover songs.
