I recently sat down Jordan Rudess in Las Vegas before the Vegas Rocks! show. Yes, Rudess is primarily known as the keyboardist, Continuum-player, multi-instrumentalist for the Grammy-nominated prog rock/metal icons Dream Theater. The band is releasing its new, self-titled studio album next month. But the man at any given time has a bevy of projects going on. I wonder if he ever sleeps.

He recently funded a project via PledgeMusic called “Explorations.” We also talked about his collaboration with Tony Levin and Marco Minneman and his iOS latest app, EarWizard.
