Steve has been a hero of mine whose music has truly inspired me and moved me.Roughly five years ago, I was finally able to see him perform, which was so far beyondmy expectations. I was blown away by every facet of his show. At the time, with nopotential prospects in the US, I took a leap of faith, and I relocated from Japan toLos Angeles. I thought that if I were closer to Steve, that my chance of working withhim musically would be higher. In any case, I was so fortunate, because he contactedme after seeing a video of me perform “Angel Food” on the Internet. After this, Isent him some sheet music of his songs that I had transcribed, and he sent me somesheet music, as well. Soon after, he granted me with this amazing, once-in-a-lifetimeopportunity.Honestly, holding Steve Vai in such high regard, I was so nervous while arranginghis music at first. I know that he is not arbitrary about anything in his compositions.Every element has a particular purpose in order to convey a specific message orevoke a certain emotion. Keeping this in mind, I carefully analyzed the songs forthis album, read as many interviews as I could about them, and tried to find his ownstories and descriptions of how he wants each song to be heard or the messages andemotions that he is putting across in the songs. For me, it was imperative to arrangethe songs for the solo piano without losing his original intent for each work. Andif possible, accentuating and bringing attention to what his original compositionswanted to bring to the fore.After arranging each piece, he would always provide feedback and advice. One time,he sent me a video of himself in his home studio, and he guided me through howI should approach “Dying for Your Love” and some potential refinements that he
wanted me to make. I have learned so much from him and about myself musicallythrough our exchanges. During our recordings, Steve guided me through every stepof the process, which I never dreamed I would have been able to experience. Hewould constantly remind me to stay calm. I am rather shy, so the pressure of workingwith him in a famous recording studio was a lot for me to handle; however, it was aformative experience for me, and I gradually became more and more comfortable.Every suggestion and comment from him was significant not just to each piece, butto myself as a musician. I will carry those pieces of advice and those educationalmoments with me for the rest of my life. It was such an honor and a privilege.So many people have supported me throughout my career as a musician. Theyall have my undying thanks and gratitude, and I hope that when they hear myperformances, that they can hear their contributions and their support over theyears. However, given this opportunity, I would very much like to say thank you tomy family. They never doubted me, even when I left for America with nothing butmy talent and the faint light of hope. I feel so blessed to have their unconditionallove and belief. I would also like to thank my best friend, Kyle, for helping me withEnglish, assisting me with life in the US, and providing me with inspiration. Last butnot least, I would like to express the deepest of thanks to Steve. His music has givenso much to so many people on so many levels. During some troubling and confusingtimes in my own life, his music gave me guidance and direction when I was at a lossfor what to do. When he listens to this album, I sincerely hope that he can hear myappreciation for him as a mentor in music and my devotion for him as a fan.- Miho Arai
In 2004, Piano Reductions Vol. I, Performed by Mike Keneally was released. The idea was to pick a handful of songsfrom my catalog and give them to a brilliant pianist and see what they can whip up with them. Mike didan inspired job arranging those songs on the piano and the response from the fans and critics was verypositive. It’s always been a desire of mine to continue this concept with various players.In 2013, I started to see this absolutely phenomenal pianist named Miho Arai. She was posting YouTubevideos playing some of my songs on piano in reduction form. She had an instinctual understandingof the “sweet spots” in the melodic content of the songs. I reached out to her to see if she would beinterested in being the featured performer on this album. She was interested, I was very lucky.For the following 2-3 years Miho and I would discuss the songs that she would work on and she wouldusually work on 2-4 at a time. When she felt ready we would go down to Ocean Way Recording studios inHollywood (now United Recording Studios), and cut the tracks.I was stunned by her powerful command of the instrument. For such a young lady she could attack thekeys with a great fiery force, but also understood the dimensions of intimacy and exquisite tendernessthat was necessary at times. Watching Miho execute these songs was mesmerizing. She would performeach take from beginning to end with consistent perfection. It was inspiring to witness and I ameternally grateful to her for the care, dedication and love she contributed to these pieces of music.We are both thrilled with the way the project came out and hope that you enjoy it as much as we do.

This, too, is still basic to conventional literary criticism and is also open to seriou objection. De Wette in 1805 assigned Deuteronomy to the time of Josiah, such that pentateuchal matter considered dependent on Deuteronomy would be still later than it; 160 years later this is still commonly held, despite opposition. In the first half of the 19th century rival theses arose alongside the .
