I\u2019ve been going to concerts at Disney Hall since it was constructed and feel tremendous appreciation to have been invited to perform my music there. The pieces that will be performed are&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There\u2019s Still Something Dead In Here&#8221; (without Steve)<br \/>\n&#8220;Kill The Guy With The Ball&#8221; (with Steve)<br \/>\n&#8220;The Murder&#8221; (with Steve)<br \/>\n&#8220;Call it Sleep&#8221; (with Steve)<\/p>\n<p>These pieces were chosen by Carlos Izcaray who is the exceptional conductor of this event. It\u2019s interesting to note that the first three pieces are perhaps some of my darkest and most brooding music.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There\u2019s Still Something Dead in Here\u201d is a complex, dense and very atonal piece of contemporary music. \u201cKill the Guy with the Ball\u201d is violently fast and furious and the Orchestra version is just ripping. \u201cThe Murder\u201d is macabre and harmonically heavy. \u201cCall It Sleep\u201d is from Flex-Able with an updated symphonic orchestration and will be a blessed relief after the first pieces.<\/p>\n<p>Interesting that all the titles of these pieces could lead one to believe I have a preoccupation with Death! Truth is, I\u2019m way too alive for that. Hope to see you at the show.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ticket information is available <a href=\"https:\/\/aysymphony.secure.force.com\/ticket\/#sections_a0F3100000MsFBCEA3\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Generation Axe &#8211; A Night Of Guitars featuring Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, Zakk Wylde, Nuno Bettencourt and Tosin Abasi is coming to Japan in April.
