BenLoy, you know you love me for this...

The Universe Will Provide

This is a piece of music that Mike Keneally wrote for guitar and 50-piece orchestra. It was recently performed (for the first time ever). Read more about it at Mike\'s site .

here is a blurb from his site on the evening of love:

"AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS, June 8, 2003: A splendid time was guaranteed for all as Mike Keneally, conductor Jurjen Hempel and the amazing 50-piece Metropole Orchestra took the stage at Amsterdam's legendary Paradiso to debut Mike's new piece, The Universe Will Provide. The collaborators reached new heights after long hours of rehearsal and the audience at the former church clearly recognized that they were experiencing something new and special with Mike's first orchestral work. During the third movement, "Room," the battery on Mike's beloved green Clapton Strat cut out, causing a short delay and a repeat of "Room" with Mike playing a backup guitar (so now there are two versions; one with and one without Mike's guitar playing). When the show resumed, it was with even higher enthusiasm, energy and focus from both performers and attendees."

You tease, there's nothing on the page except Mike's name!!!

AHHHHH!!!!!!!! NOOO!!!!! It was there last night, I swear!! Dammit all. OK, I'll post the whole thing on my friend's ftp server tonight and send a link to it.

Here is the entire thing. It's just over 52 minutes in length (71.4MB in size) and worth every pico-second it takes to download.
