JORDAN RUDESS NEW CD SHOWCASES IVORY

Rudess Picks Ivory-Grand Pianos to Record Solo Project

BOSTON, MA, June 1, 2009— Jordan Rudess, widely known as the keyboardist extraordinaire for progressive rock ensemble Dream Theater, has just released a new solo album called Notes On a Dream. The solo piano project is recorded entirely using Synthogy’s Ivory-Grand Pianos

Jordan comments, "I chose Ivory for this project (in particular the German Steinway D) because more than any other virtual piano on the market, Ivory has a very round, room-filling sound that invites me to play. Recording with Ivory was a very satisfying experience creatively, and I'm really thrilled with Ivory's contribution to this record."

Notes On a Dream features solo piano versions of some of Dream Theater's favorite ballads as well as a selection of original, progressive piano pieces by Jordan. At this moment the album is exclusively available for download at www.jordanrudess.com.
