As a multi-instrumentalist, A.M. combines live instruments (played by A.M. and several collaborators) with samples from a wide variety of sources. A.M.'s songs are designed to evoke a different atmosphere or emotion, while leaving enough space for the listener's own interpretation. Inspired by many musical styles from classical to jazz to gospel to folk to funk to broadway, A.M. strives to create a musical collage that can entertain the casual listener while providing enough substance to intrigue those with a keen ear for musical form. Mr.Moore currently teaches P8B at Bayview Glen.
