Movie Masterpieces
This series of masterpieces are made by our true master of virtual orchestration: Jay Bacal. He uses Synchron and SYNCHRON-ized libraries for the most beautiful compositions in film history.

Meet Jay
Jay has worn many hats over the years including advertising writer, animation director, and video game designer. But his first and deepest love has been music — well, after his amazing wife, son, 2 cats and chihuahua of course!
