I wanted to conceive music to play on a loop in the background as people walked through the exhibit. Recorded around the world, from Los Angeles to Paris to Oahu, “Portals” is the result of Kirk’s life’s journeys and an invitation to tap into your own inner world. Says Hammett: “Initially, before I even had the idea for a solo EP, I was inspired by the need to create some sort of soundtrack music to accompany The Kirk Hammett Collection for the first ‘It’s Alive’ exhibition at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts, 2017. “Featuring contributions from Edwin Outwater,Jon Theodore of QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, members of the LA Philharmonic and more, ‘High Plains Drifter’ shares a unique inspirational relationship with the 1973 cinematic classic of the same name. While the band has been working on new music over the past few years, guitarist Kirk Hammett, a known horror movie enthusiast, wrote and recorded his own solo project. Reviewing the show, Kevin E G Perry writes for The Independent, “Elfman’s booking was undoubtedly a gamble, but it’s one that pays off many times over.

That was kind of a surrender of the last tiny bit of protection I had between me now and my past and what I am and what I was. That was the last layer, I guess, of protection, of armor, and I decided to give that up too... And midway through the set, he stripped to the waist, revealing a lean, muscular physique covered in tattoos.

“That was the last layer, I guess, of protection, of armor, and I decided to give that up too.” “I was just relieved to have made it through in one piece,” Elfman said in the interview. “I only just learned today that they were trying to do their own mix from scratch in the audio truck, with 50 players, you know what I mean? Going into it I knew it was going to be a really risky endeavor. I read a lot of tweets and stuff where people were kind of confused and rattled and startled and like, “What’s going on?” — and ultimately that’s what I wanted. Danny Elfman gave an extremely memorable Coachella performance over the weekend in which he ran through a bunch of material from his long career, including Oingo Boingo songs and songs from The Simpsons and The Nightmare Before Christmas and songs from last year’s Big Mess, his first solo album in almost four decades.

Danny Elfman Details 'Intense and Insane' Coachella Performance ... (IndieWire)

Oscar-nominated composer Danny Elfman made headlines for a "mash-up" theme song setlist at 2022 Coachella.

I’m going to enjoy the band. “Going into it, I knew it was going to be a really risky endeavor,” the “Milk” composer continued. That was the last layer, I guess, of protection, of armor, and I decided to give that up too. I’m going to enjoy the music. “It was more like: ‘Can they hang me for this?'” Elfman quipped. Fuck it — here I am.'” But Elfman changed his mindset to a true “fuck it” mentality: “I just wanted to come out exactly like if you saw me 30 or 40 years ago, and here I am now, and to not be embarrassed or ashamed by that,” Elfman added. But in the end, not having a safety net is also extremely exhilarating.” But in the end, the one thing that I really wasn’t planning on was a dust storm, an actual sandstorm, in my face. “I wasn’t expecting to get such a reaction, and some of the crazy headlines — like, Yahoo said, ’68-year-old Elfman and 20-year-old Eilish make festival history,'” Elfman told Variety, reflecting on his festival performance. “At that point it was just a nutty idea, and Saturday night it was a reality — and I’m glad that we did it, that I stuck with it. “I was joking to a friend before the show, ‘Look, we have 30 minutes to set up a show that’s never been performed before with 50 musicians on stage.
