JORDAN RUDESS - DREAM THEATER KEYBOARDIST AND AWARD-WINNING APP
BUILDER RELEASES SOLO PIANO ALBUM "ALL THAT IS NOW"
"JORDAN RUDESS EXPLORES"
THE INTERACTIVE AURAL AND VISUAL IOS APP RELEASED IN CONJUNCTION WITH ALBUM
JORDAN RUDESS, best known as the keyboardist/multi-instrumentalist
extraordinaire for platinum-selling Grammy-nominated prog rock band,
DREAM THEATER, has released his latest solo piano recording, ALL THAT
IS NOW. The album contains 13pieces, composed and performed by JORDAN
on his favorite instrument, a 9-foot Steinway concert grand piano. The
album was created as part of a PledgeMusiccrowdsourcing campaign in
which almost 1,000 fans pledged between $10 to $5,000 in exchange for
updates on his recording process and a battery of prizes ranging from
private lessons to backstage passes. The PledgeMusiccampaign also
raised money for RUDESS' upcoming orchestral album which will be
released early in 2014.
Says RUDESS, "This album is very close to my heart. For years, I
searched until I found the instrument of my dreams that would be the
perfect extension of my musical thought, playing literally every piano
I could find all over the world. I found my concert grand seven years
ago and, ever since, my deepest musical connection occurs when I play
my Steinway. It is my lifetime goal to purely translate the music in
my mind, to my hands and then onto the keyboard. This album captures
the magic of that connection. The recording was done simply in the
piano room of my house using just my Steinway D and Earthworks
microphones. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did creating it.
In addition to his solo piano CD, ALL THAT IS NOW, RUDESS has also
released aWIZDOM MUSIC interactive iOS app, "JORDAN RUDESS EXPLORES,"
which enables an interactive aural and visual experience with the
music from the CD. JORDAN RUDESS EXPLORES was created by Jordan with
developer Joe Zobkiw to explore the intersection between the
traditional and electronic world we all live in.
In addition to playing in DREAM THEATER, RUDESS, voted "Best
Keyboardist of All Time" by Music Radar Magazine, is the President of
a successful music App development company WIZDOM MUSIC
(www.wizdommusic.com), creators of award-winning apps such as
