STEVE VAI - New Instrumental Available Through VaiTunes: "The Track Is Close To 20 Years Old"
April 6, 2011, 13 years ago
Guitarist STEVE VAI's latest VaiTunes song, 'The Bodhi Tree', is now available for download through all major digital music retailers, including. Following is Vai's description of the track:
I quickly built a little percussion track and just went for it. I wasn't sure what I was going to play, but I knew it was all going to work. You just get that feeling, and you know you gotta act quickly.
I was so looking forward to what the next few minutes were going to bring. I buried my head in the sound and slipped into a state of melodic meditation. I literally thought I played only for a few minutes, but it was more than nine! I thought that if I ever wanted to release this track, it would have to be edited. But the other day when looking for a VaiTunes selection, I came across this track and fell back in love with it. The track is close to 20 years old, and I had totally forgotten about it. I had listened back to it only once after I recorded it."
