Reflection
Reflection has dual meaning. The arps and guitar delay lend towards the title in a rudimentary sense, as well, the overall mood could be thought of as a period of reminiscing.

Astral Traveler
I heard that in the not too distant future you will be able to take a ride into outerspace on a shuttle like vehicle.. provided you have the funds for the trip.. A division of Virgin(www.virgingalactic.com) has worked on making this possible.

Echoes
With a latin rhythmic base, the soundscape is set through the use of arps, synths and guitar with delay to provide... "echoes".

Soular Flair
A play on words within the concept. The track starts off with fusiony e-piano intro. Overall, the bass and rhythm tracks provide some soul to go along with more bluesy electric piano.

Crossing Pathways
At some point in time, you may have met someone who had an effect on your life in some way. Looking back on the journey that has led me to this work, for me it was my friend Gino Foti. This one was actually an ode to him..

Where Earth Meets Sky
The heavy drums and funky bass underneath lay foundation to the earth, while the use of synths, arps, sequencers and electric guitar with delay are atmospheric and trippy in nature.

Benevolent Forces
Sometimes bad things happen for a good reason. It could be something subtle or something that hits home involving angst or heartache. When things don't go well, it can be especially hard to see it might just be the work of Benevolent Forces.

A Road To Elsewhere
"Wanna get away?..." There are times in life when we would just rather be somewhere else. A jazzy vibe through acoustic piano and electric guitar solo, with funky drums and bass paving the way out...

Zero Gravity
Free floating.. feeling weightlessness in outer space. An arpeggiator, several synths and guitars with effects all come together to set up the soundscape.

Greetings From Atop Olympus Mons
Greek for Mount Olympus, Olympus Mons is located on the planet Mars and is presently documented as the largest mountain known to man. Many have pondered if we are the only beings in a vast universe. Seems unlikely..

Eternal Boundaries
A dichotomy of terms, combining eternity or infinity with boundaries or endpoints. When pondering existence and the universe, we are left to wonder several things, like how or when it began or even ends?

Because I Love You
Referencing the term unconditional love. This retro-fusion ballad opens with atmospheric synths to set the mood, before a heartfelt guitar solo moves into a chaotic section of beauty and tension.

Groove Planet
The composition is somewhat reminiscent of Jonas Hellborg work on his 1990 release "The Word", which I found very interesting because of it's overall tone or mood, especially with orchestration used as part of the arrangements.

Rhythm Of The Universe
Every second of every minute, every hour of each day.. motion is happening throughout the universe. Planets rotating on their axis, moons orbiting their planets, all rotating around the sun within our own galaxy.
