Mikey Einziger blows my mind with End Vacuum
by Stephanie on May 15th, 2009You’ve probably heard of him before, Mr. Mike Einziger, of famed rock band Incubus… but you may not have heard he recently completed a “Realization in Nine Movements,” orchestral performance at Royce Hall is Los Angeles this past Saturday night. Funny enough, I was hosting a bachelorette party this weekend at my in-laws house in Malibu… and Mike had asked me if I wanted tickets to his show. I said, “Of course! But I would need 11 tickets!” Well, this amazing friend of mine followed through with the 11 tickets and I can’t even begin to explain how blown away I was by the performance. Mike and his brother, Ben (and member of Agent Sparks, my old band) and Blake Mills (the most ridiculous musician under 25), sat at the center of a 60 person orchestra, beneath brilliant and fellow musician and conductor Suzie Katayama. The three guys bounced back and forth between guitars, synthesizers, keyboards, drums, and even vintage typewriters… set to a slew of 3D Images scattered throughout the stunning theater. The music was a blend of gentle string arrangements to mellow-dramatic, off-color drum beats, to heavy and overwhelming overtures. I was in a constant state of longing and desire for the unknown throughout the 45 minute performance… which was the point, as discovered through Mike’s “opening act”… British physicist Dr. Brian Cox. Dr. Cox gave a brief discussion of the great possibilities of human life, past, present and future, as discovered through the LHC (Large Hadron Collider), the most powerful/complex/expensive machine ever built by humans (as Mikey says, google it!). Needless to say, not only was this the coolest way to spend a bachelorette Saturday night, but End.>Vacuum was the most unique and emotional musical performances I’ve ever experienced. Now I know why Mikey’s going to Harvard during an Incubus break… because he belongs amongst the best of the best.
