FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DREAM THEATER’S JORDAN RUDESS AND KORG —
AN EXTREME COMBINATION

— Rudess is among the first to discover Korg’s new TRITON Extreme Music Workstation —


NAMM SUMMER SESSION, NASHVILLE, TN, July 23, 2004 — Dream Theater keyboardist and longtime Korg user Jordan Rudess is one of today’s most respected “prog rock” musicians. From composing to performing to doing all the programming needed to create a live version of Dream Theater’s recordings, Rudess relies on Korg instruments along the way.

His current synth rig includes a Korg TRITON-Rack and Karma Music Workstation. He’s also one of the first artists to use the new TRITON Extreme. Rudess shares a few of his favorite features: “The TRITON Extreme has that very cool tube inside of it. For me, it’s incredible because I’m involved with some serious rock music that demands my synths have the same power a guitar might have when going through a world-class tube amp. The user interface to the tube is so easy and makes it a lot of fun to try on different sounds as well! The other thing that stands out is the ease of connecting the Extreme to my computer with the USB connection. It worked the first time I did it — I went online and downloaded some cool lead sounds.” Rudess has also created a TRITON Extreme MP3 demo, “Extreme RA,” which is available at www.korg.com/tritonextreme.

Fresh off Dream Theater’s 2004 world tour, Jordan Rudess is about to release his new solo CD, Rhythm Of Time. For more Dream Theater information, please visit www.dreamtheater.net.
