~Mike Einziger~
Mike Einziger (born June 21, 1976 in Los Angeles, California) is the multi-instrumentalist, co-writer and guitarist of the alternative rock band Incubus, as well as his own side project band, Time Lapse Consortium. Instruments that he has played on Incubus records include guitar, piano, Mellotron, pipa, analog synthesizers, tape samplers, Fender Rhodes, Wurlitzer, as well as many others. He has also played a Jerry Jones Guitars Master Sitar on "Nowhere Fast" from the Make Yourself album (live, he simply plays the sitar part with his guitar), and a Pipa on "Aqueous Transmission". Mike also plays electric piano on songs like "Here In My Room" and has played piano on live versions of "Drive."
Mike has also written original music for the surfing documentary "Flow" (directed by Josh Landon), which has narration by fellow Incubus member Brandon Boyd.
In 2007, Einziger produced Nighttiming, the debut album of former Phantom Planet drummer and actor Jason Schwartzman's Coconut Records project. The album was released for download on March 20, 2007 on iTunes and is slated to be released in stores Summer 2007.
Recently Einziger has been suffering from Carpal tunnel syndrome and has had an operation to correct the problem. He is now fully recovered and able to play full shows.
In the early days Mike was playing Ibanez guitars, and sometime around the making of Enjoy Incubus he switched to PRS (Custom 24's). Mike used PRS McCarty Archtop guitars while recording some songs on the album Make Yourself (for example the song "Make Yourself"). On the album Morning View, Mike only used his PRS McCarty Archtops. With A Crow Left of the Murder... he started playing Fender Jazzmaster guitars. On a recent tour he has been seen using a Gibson SG junior.
END.>VACUUM
A Realization in Nine Movements
Composed by Michael Einziger
for those who are interested:
simply stated, end.>vacuum is a jagged collection of orchestral music i have been writing for the past year. a horrendously turbulent, and at times serene, aural interpretation of complex patterns and geometric shapes that assemble themselves firmly into my consciousness. a 40 minute-long insomnia-induced orchestral anxiety- attack. (sounds like heaven, right?)
under normal circumstances, i play guitar in a band called incubus. but last year i was forced to stop playing for several months due to a wrist injury that required surgery, as well as a time-intensive recovery. without the option of picking up a guitar, it was during that idle time that i began to write music for the orchestra, which became like a musical game of 'tetris' for me. a huge challenge on both cerebral and intellectual levels. I don't know if it's any good, either.
rather than record this music and release it as an album, i thought it would be much more risky and fun to for the maiden voyage of 'end.>vacuum' to happen as a live, unedited performance in front of my family, friends, and fans. with all mishaps intact.
the music will be performed in nine movements, by a group of musicians i am calling 'the graviton modern ensemble'. it will be a mixture of professional philharmonic players and friends. throughout the piece, i will play a variety of different instruments (sans guitar) alongside my brother, benjamin einziger, and my good friend blake mills. suzie katayama will be conducting.
to make this event even more heavenly, the first part of the program will consist of a lecture by my friend and esteemed british physicist, dr. brian cox. he is a world-renowned scientist who acts as a science correspondent for the BBC, and is currently conducting monumental research at the large hadron collider at CERN. the large hadron collider is a particle accelerator, and is the most powerful/ complex/expensive machine ever built by humans (google it). his talk will be a discussion on particle-physics and the mind-bending potential for major discoveries at CERN in the near future.
all this could make for an amazing evening at UCLA, or it could be a train-wreck. we'll all decide that together.
cheers.
-mike

I've got some good news to share with you my friend :-) ....I just got another check in the mail today and I'm telling as many as my friends as I can because I owe all this to a post Daniel made on his blog. You gotta check out his blog, go here --> Daniel's Blog
I just wanted to stop by to say hello and give you a little update on what Blood Root Mother is up to! We will be recording an EP of new music in August, and we recently finished recording a live DVD. The DVD is currently unreleased and I actually just saw it for the first time a few days ago. It features the last two performances with Tony Ellis still alive, and some footage from the tribute show we played on the night of his funeral.
There are some cool covers, as well as some NEW music that will be on our upcoming EP. We're very excited about the new music and we'd like to share a sneak peak with you. Here's a video of a new tune called Run Bobby Run:
Hiya! I hope your Wednesday is going well so far. I just wanted to tell you about two free gifts I'm giving away on my website. Just go to my website mentioned on my page and I'll send them to you right away. When you join the club, you'll learn how to make some real money online like I do. Learn this stuff, it's not as hard as many people think.
The Worst ever!!! Well, let's see...I'm very heated at the moment. I got my code for Incubus's Tampa, finally was able to make my purchase for seats that were horrible even with the pre-sale...Doesn't matter though, all I wanted was tickets...Then they tell there was a error with my credit card (which their isn't one) but then LiveNation takes my MONEY out of my bank account (pending purchase)thingy...And doesn't give me my tickets or my money !!!! They said the'yd credit my card in 3-4 working days, Which at that point, Pre-sale over !! What the f***?? I have never had this problem with anyone over the internet, or TicketMaster in my whole life!!
All i wanted was to attend the Tampa concert, now I just screwed with no f****** lube !!!
Sorry to unload this unfortunate event on ya'll.....
