This piece was kind of a tester for my new audio interface so I wanted something pretty 'beefy', the development title of this piece was 'Vai' because the verse melody really reminded me of Steve Vai, the rest though was all me.

Rise And Fall

I wanted to create a piece of music that had some light and shade to it, like two pieces of music fighting each other which is where the idea came from.

I drew from a lot of players, Joe Satriani and Steve Vai being the highlights in order to accomplish this.

The Eve Of Battle

This piece is heavily influenced by one of my favorite guitarists, Joe Satriani. 

I wanted something that was really upbeat and had good use of rhythm and harmony.

Distant Dreamer

This was a starting point for a piece I was working on but was unable to work it into anything so I have let it become a standalone item.

Solo Improv - 1

This was the first real guitar track I composed and as with my other pieces my influences can be heard. 

I didn't really know what I was doing when I creating this so I just played what I heard.
