Innovative music composition and performance software to augment Meat Loaf's orchestra

LONDON - NOTION™ software will be used to augment the orchestra at upcoming Meat Loaf concerts in London, New York, and Toronto.

These concerts tie into the launch of Meat Loaf's new album, Bat Out of Hell III, the long-awaited third installment in the most successful rock album series of all time.

With NOTION's vast selection of musical tools including thousands of sounds recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios, Meat Loaf will be backed by a 16-piece orchestra which will sound like a 60-piece orchestra.

"Combining NOTION with live players in performance is one of the things we do really well," said Lori Jarrett, the CEO of VirtuosoWorks, the company that makes NOTION. "We're very happy to assist in Meat Loaf's large venue concerts. That's exactly what we're about."

NOTION™ will be used at the Royal Albert Hall concert in London on October 16, The Palace Theater concert in New York City on November 2, and The Elgin Theater concert in Toronto on November 4.

Meat Loaf's Royal Albert Hall show will be his only UK performance in 2006.

The Bat Out of Hell trilogy is completed with Meat Loaf's three-act show: Act I featuring songs from the original 1977 album Bat Out of Hell (including Paradise by the Dashboard Light, Two Out of Three Ain't Bad), Act II with songs from the Grammy-winning Bat Out of Hell 2 - Back into Hell (including I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)) and Act III, featuring brand-new songs from the forthcoming Bat Out of Hell III - The Monster is Loose.
