We didn’t decide on the harmony or time signature. We simply shared a spontaneous musical conversation. You might hear traces of Khachaturian, Bartók… and of course, Dream Theater!! It was so much fun improvising with Hayato Sumino @880hz . #JordanRudess #HayatoSumino #PianoDuet

Today, I'll be listening to #DreamTheater's "When Dream and Day Unite" in honor of our band's original singer, Charlie Dominici, who left us this week. Dream Theater is more than a band; it's a family, and losing one of our own is an ache that runs deep. #ripcharliedominici

Dream Theater’s Parasomnia drops tomorrow, but the music never stops. After an intense rehearsal, I got home exhausted—yet somehow, inspiration struck again. Here’s "The Rain Knows My Name.". Creativity doesn’t wait. Neither do I. @VideoleapApp @strandbergGuit @NeuralDSP

This one took some time to crack — finally got it to a solid place!. Tight and tricky up front… then it opens up into some looser, more fluid tapping. Always a process, always worth it. Thanks @NicolaSchintu for teaching me this very difficult passage. #guitartapping
