Currently working his way through arranging and performing 3 full TOOL albums (Ænima, Lateralus & 10,000 Days) on solo piano, Canadian musician Colin Everall has made it to number 21 of the 32 tracks required to achieve the lofty feat. #21, and our video of the day, is the beautiful, odd "Lost Keys (Blame Hoffman)". This track can be found on the 10,000 Days album (2006).
About the TOOL covers project and his love for the band, Colin says "During those formative years, I discovered a band that sounded unlike anything else. Their music and art fomented a defining passion to challenge myself and the conventions of what is possible creatively. As homage to that inspiration and in celebration of the long-awaited new album, I will be releasing a new video every Thursday of my own piano arrangements for every song from Tool's "Ænima", "Lateralus" and "10,000 Days".
