I mentioned in my bio that I have a backlog of bits to work with.  Ironically, my first release is something relatively new.  I had just gotten an iPad and had a 5 hour flight in which to play with garage band.  The basic drum pattern and melody came from that session.  2 1/2 years later and i finally had it ready to release.  Steep learning curve...slow learner.

Soar

I set out to lighten my playing style by learning the Lydian mode.  I created a piano backing track to practice against, plugged in my guitar, and played the opening lead note-for-note the first time through; I guess it had been developing subconsciously as I worked with the piano.  I listened back and immediately got sidetracked with developing additional sections, finalizing the arrangement, and producing Awakening.  

I'm going to avoid getting overly dramatic about why I named it Awakening but to bookend the idea:  the first section reminds me of waking up, stretching and getting started; while in the final section, you're making your way down the road to whatever adventure awaits.

Awakening

Dropped into the middle of a hurricane; hold on until the Eye passes overhead and you can breathe for a moment.

I've been playing music most of my life.  I was in a couple of bands in college but put it aside for a few years.  Now I'm tryimg to get 20 years of songs, riffs and bits out of my head.
