    Official Report n Eureka! Opening event for the West Coast->Left Coast Festival at Disney Concert Hall in L.A. :

    Chapter I - Space :
    Disney Concert Hall. Let me start by saying that this is one of the most impressive places I've been too in a while.
    Just by looking at it you know why Mike had the sudden impulse to write a composition about it.
    It stands out between a collection of dull business and public offices buildings like an oasis in a desert. But still, it is not overwhelming, it invites you to come in with its fun shapes and even more impressive interior.

    Chapter 2 - Time :
    The Kronos Quartet. Even if no one else played at this event, it would've been worth it just to see them play. Not a missed note, not a skipped beat on what was a flawless interpretation of It Got Dark. If they're ever near your town, be sure to catch them.

    Chapter Tres - Continuum :

  • Brilliant.

    on Mike Einziger To Perform At Walt Disney Concert Hall

    "it's art! You just don't understand it!" LOL tuned noise perhaps?? XD
    To me this was truly inspirational. You could see each instrument moving in a different direction with each beat. And still the mix didn't clash in any given moment. I believe most Incubus fans would feel awkward after seeing Mike play a composition out of their comfort zone. But when you heard this with a child-like open mind you could enjoy it the way it was supposed to. The closest science and art will be to holding hands together LOL .
    I didn't like that it was shorter than I had expected :S.

    I also was left breathless with the jam between Mike, the Kronos Quartet, Matmos and Terry Riley.
    That was when you could distinguish Mike's guitar amongst the other players' parts.
    Matmos' weird electronic compositions. Kronos' short but melodic pieces, and Terry's harmonies and melodies in the background holding it all together.
