Jordan Rudess -Beyond This Life Chorus

[101DIGITAL010]

sounds exactly like the sound you hear when you play painkiller: Battle out of Hell's level where you fight the evil clows on that festival evil park

[zZHighwayToHellZz]

at 0:41 he's like "I'm better than you, bitch."

[TheNuncFluens]

our deeds have traveled far..

[grapic11]

sounds like the fat princess theme in a way//

[Altairograph]

Keyboards, synthesizers...it's the ultimate creative instrument. Nothing even comes close to the diversity of sound of modern synthesizers. The classical purists can say "it's not a real instrument" as many times as they want, but for me it's the greatest instrument ever. 

[metaldrummer47]

Ok, that sounds like a haunted Carnival lol

[Zhygun]

So scary

[alkalinetrio751]

fascinating..

[SmokingWickerman]

He should sooooo compose the 2012 Apocalypse Overture

[Iamyourfather666]

@SmokingWickerman That would be so fucking awesome and epic!

[Macgreez]

what a tank



[TwitchDoom2]

I want that keyboard....O.O its so pretty

[AGthakid11]

Play some Albanian Music man :) I swear it would be an honor just listening to you playing Albanian Music :)

[Irockman1]

I swear I can never hear the "haunting" part in the studio version.

[nmillwater33]

when he started playing them together i thought it was all of my love by zep

[DevBomb9]

kind of sounds like the music they played at the haunted houses in roller coaster tycoon

[singhars]

w ..good..

[Casowsky]

And together the sun makes this.

[Zakariah1971]

In the left hand is shit, and in the right hand is shit, so when both hands play together, it sounds like 100% SHIT!!!

-Kevin Moore

[endlesshonorfordream]

@Zakariah1971 Troll

[KazeReload]

do you see that cc near the video bar? click it and choose "transcribe sound".. lol

[TheRandomBassist]

That wink is to say "Yea i thought of this... Not you... Thus i'm god"

[anandthepianoguy]

WHY WHY WHY DO I NEVER GET COMPOSITION IDEAS LIKE THIS??? (groan) :)

[vieri031]

This split is really really great. But in the album it is difficult to hear that

[Z4nk0]

3/4

[Det0xic4tor]

Sounds like Doom background music to me

[davidbeethoven17]

sounds like runescape

[JooshyJoosh93]

FUCKIN GENIUS

[iluvsystemofadown]

very soothing

[AngryLlamaz]

JR looks like a skinny Mr.Slave from south-park. Google it if u dont kno wat im talkin about

[meehalee21]

@AngryLlamaz oh jizzus crust!

[snipercr187]

lol

[CarbineHero14]

Why is he winking at :11?

[RockRulez124]

Probably a tic or something...

[MrMusclefish]

@CarbineHero14 Dont be out of order

[Rich7714]

@CarbineHero14 Ha ha - oh yes, I never noticed that before!

[Frust93]

our deeds have travelled

fa-a-a-ar

what we have been is

what we are

<3

[TheKpprateesh]

can anybody suggest tips to improve my left hand speed with accuracy......????

[jesse9999999]

Practice fast scales?

[fingerboy18]

Only work on one at a time. If you want to get extremely fast, you need to push yourself. If you want accuracy you need to slow down and pay attention to ALL details of your playing.

[ProgRockMickyV2]

@TheKpprateesh Practice =]

[snipercr187]

really cool 0:21

[suchass]

sounds like music from a huanted carnaval or a gothic circus. lol. i wish i had that talent and that keyboard though. he must have alot of fun experimenting with sounds on that thing.

[speedking23]

his right hand plays Heaven and Hell :)

[MikeTheDark001]

our deeds have traveled, far.

what we have been is what we are.

=D

[trimbua]

Our deeds have traveled faaaaaaarr...

What we ha ve been is whart we are.....

[DjRobin2000]

sounds are like a cheap pcm sblive! soundblaster card with a cheap delta sigma dac and weak filters

because he's a good player he can get out the max of that consumer stuff

[UnforgivingCritic]

yeah, i miss those sound cards.. the Realtek AC' 97.. and sblive! sound blaster.. some of those sound cards have sound drivers that are already extinct from google.. but, it's still lucky for me that i have kept mine for 9 years now.. :)

[SilverAsakura]

Sounds like "song of storms" from Zelda ocarina of time.

[smfleu]

@SilverAsakura i was about writing the same thing

[bwsSynik]

@SilverAsakura lol maybe the bass part only.

[Schwartzdying]

@SilverAsakura hahaha yeah xD

[diabeticmonkey]

@SilverAsakura I automatically thought of that, too.

[manegex]

@SilverAsakura that's right my friend

[adamolx]

the atmosphere of this riff is similar to Diablo Game :D

[TommysSurprise]

yes and also similar to final fantasy 7

[matthewtop]

ahhh, well, i feel a more ffx vibe.

[SpeedyStorm]

cause of that damned Cloister of Trials song

[acmilanfan8]

thats fuckin evil

[djeikop]

Jordan is a fantastic keyboardist, not only when shredding like a freak, but also with the small details, like here. I really like him for that!

[rodricav]

Totally agree!

[torsnn]

haha sounds like the music from "Medieval" demo on Playstation 1 xD

[papparatzi]

The sims music

[VGSTN]

He Looks Bored With This lol...

[EpicDrumz666]

at 0:09 its really creepy how he winks like that...lol

[greeksdorok]

HAHAHAHAHA

[CantThinkOfANameTbh]

Rofl.

[RefiLewise]

True that.

[TheWindWaker01]

@EpicDrumz666 holy shit I didn't notice that the first time I watched it that freaked me out.

[skateandmusic]

@EpicDrumz666 he doesnt even wink haha

[sirchaox1224]

@EpicDrumz666 I had to sign in just to thumbs this up. Lmao.

[jman40194]

@EpicDrumz666 holy shit lmao

[DustyShaneY]

@EpicDrumz666 That's not nice, he has a twitch obviously.

[Nominatix]

talented must be fun, if you go to any music shop and you play like anything that would draw attention must be awsome.

[Blahbevava]

Sounds like part of a track from the movie "Dune"

[RejectYourMorals]

no u

[brzozowski128]

does it have to be?

[JonkolJK]

Sometimes it seems that difficulty goes directly related with quality... but at least there's people who can understand beyond that =)

[alexmatrix1995]

hy man :)) looks like we love the same shit on youtube=))

[unusuallynormal231]

what i would like to know is how many sound effects he uses in all the songs he made in Dream Theater.

[slashdelbarrio]

he can do nearly anything you listen in the album when he plays live, so check the budokan concert

[tomashcroft16]

the number hasn't been discovered by mathematicians yet

[nekezajebancije]

You're kidding, right? :)

That was really simple, man!

[tomashcroft16]

haha yeh, i actually can't rmember making that comment O_o

[nekezajebancije]

Heheh, yeah, it happens when you comment a lot on YouTube...

[pqpmasterunlimited]

O.o scaring choruzzzzzzz

[Danex5o]

being that talented he must have so much fucking fun with the different sound effects and things you can do with a keyboard

[XDETHpianist]

LOL cool

[devilgirlpk]

scary carnival :P

[Amannn13]

it sounds like a creepy carnival

[adrian7812]

I love how he just does it so naturally.

[watcher821]

again the played notes are very different from those in the Keyboard Anthology...

[MerinaWish]

I wonder why everybody disliked the comment: Clown music.

Actually I think that person is right. XD.

It could fit in some sort of carousel like ride. Something evil could easily be used with that. Use your imagination ;)

I absolutely love the sounds he used.

[DavidSarge]

it was the way he said it. unlike you who had some fun in your comment he just said

"Clown music."

seems kinda negative and cocky

[metabog]

What we have been is whaaat wee aaree....

[RyanTheMusicMan001]

That's not a bad thing btw :)

[RyanTheMusicMan001]

Sounds like some evil waltz lol

[keysoflight]

this man is a genius when it comes to effects

[EndingEscence]

Clown music.

[hlaakso]

they use something like that on Division Bell

[AkilesJose]

Yep... i think it is on the song "Poles Apart" from the 3:30 min aprox.

[DiegexXx]

Very Satanic ! Yeah

[thesandmaneeest]

why?

[Fuki385]

Actually chorus itself sounds a little Satanic I must admit :P

[Fuki385]

Beyond This Life is not Satanic, though.

[ronnythetrooper]

Keyword sounds.

[Azzykkago]

why??

[Sonodoit]

I never knew the chorus was supposed to have a waltzy type feel, that flute thing makes it sound a lot more cosmic, more intricate.

[Dewingo]

Sometimes less is more :p I mean you can't hear these cool keayboard bits beneath the wall of sound.

[Knobbles]

I can't figure out if it's a filter sweep or phaser he's using, can anyone identify?

[QuestionJoe]

I'd say either one would do. If it's a phaser though, then he definately has a balance of wet and dry gain.

[BenCheddar2]

its probably a phaser with a slow rate because it goes in and out like an LFO

[XxViNCENTYYxX]

friggin AWESOME
