Steve Vai - The Middle of Everywhere

For over a year, I have been composing a very intricate composition called "The Middle of Everywhere." Its as beautiful as it is bizarre. How unlike me. Periodically, I would record myself with a webcam or whatever device was nearby to capture ideas which I would later notate, usually by hand. I worked on this composition in places all over the world. I invite you to check out the process as this beautiful music unfolded in front of me. I am looking forward to hearing the pieces performed by the North Netherlands Orchestra in Groningen on November 17 and November 19th in Drachten. See you there. -s

It's all good, but... what about the guitar?

[Taselander]

I will always remember that time fondly, and just wish I wasn't so shy as to talk a little shop with you. I know it's a time you're unlikely to remember, if you even read this. You've inspired me, my music and my continuing direction, I look forward to hearing and immersing myself in "The Middle of Everywhere".  What I have heard of it so far is brilliant.

[Taselander]

Steve you share so much of yourself, your life with us all online. Thank you. It's very inspiring for us all. And the "Middle of Everywhere" excellent name, very cosmic, as God is flowing through you, and all of us through your work. I met you once 20 years ago, just a shy kid, but you were kind to me and my friends. I doubt you'd remember, but you were just played with Whitesnake in Edmonton and Alberta, and you and Adrian Vandenburg went out for a beer with a few of us.

[Taselander]

to continue the story, we had a beer with you guys, my friends and I had snakes as pets....Adrian may remember this as he was invited over to view the 17 foot Burmese. Anyway you were kind enough to pose for pics with us....sadly they didn't know how to work the camera and all the photos blurred. I was the kid who handed you a cassette jack and a CD to sign. You tried multiple times to sign the CD jacket without success. However, it transfered the ink inside the jacket. For everything ty
