Epic Records has announced a June 26 release for "Sound
Theories Vol 1 & 2", a double-live CD capturing legendary
guitarist Steve Vai's electrifying collaboration with the
Netherlands Metropole Orchestra. The two-disc set
spotlights rare material culled from five European
performances, a studio session and a soundcheck rehearsal
recording, all of which took place between mid-2004 and
2005.
"Volume 1" features Vai playing guitar with the Orchestra,
which has earned worldwide acclaim backing artists ranging
from TONY BENNETT and NATALIE COLE to NANCY WILSON and the
YELLOWJACKETS. Together they bring new life to both
existing and never-before-heard Steve Vai songs, including
"For the Love of God", "Liberty", "The Murder" and
"Attitude Song", among others.
"Volume 2" features the Orchestra performing compositions
penned by Vai, including "Shadows and Sparks" and "Bledsoe
Bluvd".
Says Vai, "I wanted to be a composer ever since I was a
young boy. Though the guitar fell into my lap and my
fingers were glued to the instrument, I studied
composition and musical notation long before I even
started playing the guitar. Through high school, college
and beyond, I kept up my studies but the prospect of
getting your music performed by an orchestra when you're
only considered to be an over-the-top electric rock guitar
shredder seemed virtually impossible. To be able to hear
your music performed is the greatest gift a composer could
hope for. This was a dream project for me."

As a Grammy award-winning guitar virtuoso, Steve Vai's
sheer breathtaking facility on the guitar is acclaimed in
the rock world and beyond. Starting with his
groundbreaking "Passion and Warfare" album in 1990, and
throughout the years since, Vai has consistently used
music as a microscope peering into the human spirit, with
equal attention paid to both the darkest obsessions and
the most exalted impulses contained there. While Vai
clearly had what was needed to make indelible impressions
during his stays with FRANK ZAPPA, DAVID LEE ROTH and
WHITESNAKE, it's as a solo artist that he's made his most
precious contributions. Each of his solo releases are
unique, varied, compelling and, even when the music is
looking darkness square in the face, genuinely uplifting.
His last album, "Real Illusions", was a major achievement
from a musical alchemist of the highest order. Vai is a
nine-time Grammy nominee and in addition to his recording
career, Steve is involved with many worthwhile
organizations. He is a Trustee for NARAS (National Academy
of the Recording Arts and Sciences) and works closely with
his own Make a Noise Foundation, raising money for music
education.
