Terry Langley - Alone

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

"Samba do Ausente". Composer: Toquinho.
Player: By myself, Luigi Ciapara.
