Eigenharp meets DT

[KyleJPie10]

Makes me think of the Bourne trilogy xD

[iselldummysmacks]

With respect to the musicians, coming from a fellow musician, I'm really interested in buying an Eigenharp, now that they brought it to the US. But even understanding that its a new product, and virtuosos are hard to come by right now, I still feel that these guys could do more in terms of how they play it. From what I've seen these guys do in all of their demonstration and performance videos, whats stopping a savy keyboardist from making the same sounds?

[lordcroesus]

@iselldummysmacks I agree, it doesn't seem as crazy-innovative as it's being made out to be. Perhaps actually playing one would change what I think, but from the perspective of a musician, there's nothing stopping someone doing the same thing on a standard keyboard. They're still cool, though.

[guitgeo]

BTW - it will only work on a MAC. It's not Windows compatible and you still need to hook it up to your stereo or guitar amp to get any kind of decent sound. The drums sound cheesy. Still it's very cool however $5600 is way too expensive for this toy. I wouldn't call it portable either. You need a computer at all times to hear anything.

[MISTIKRAIN88]

LOL try this video with the subtitles in english...XD

[thinktothemax]

@MISTIKRAIN88 lol so messed up

[craigroccanova]

@MISTIKRAIN88 I just did! The only thing it got right was Backstage and Come down... Thats some bad Close Captioning haha

[FearlessSpinner]

Why didnt they play dance of eternity on this thing? hahaha

[IllusionaryMind8]

I thought they were going to play Hoedown by ELP but his is still impressive

[liquidtension]

You know Hoedown isn't by ELP, right?

[IllusionaryMind8]

@liquidtension

Didnt know :( but whats the orginal one?

[liquidtension]

ELP often cover pieces by Aaron Copland, including Hoedown and Fanfare for the Common Man. I assume they do this because Copland was the first American nationalistic composer (meaning he purposely composed pieces to sound like "American Music". "Appalachian Spring" is based off of an American folk song) and ELP were pretty much the first successful American Progressive Rock band. So I guess they were trying to follow in Copland's footsteps.

[mirzamarco]

@liquidtension ELP are British, for your info.

[ankkkkkkkkkk]

what song is that

[gr1moire2112]

@ankkkkkkkkkk It is from the Bourne Ultimatum, called Extreme Ways by Moby

[Wodashit]

Not from Bourne Ultimatum it was made earlier on the album 18, but still an awesome song

[gr1moire2112]

@Wodashit Thats true originally it is on 18 I mentioned Bourne Ultimatum as probably more chance of people being familiar with it.

[myheadissore]

thats amazing

[rudiiwii]

jordan should use one of them

it will be awesome!

[olakunde]

Is this the only song they've learned to play on this thing?!

[HollYwoodLinesman]

@olakunde it would seem like it!! lol

[JesusfreakWES]

i know i wanna hear some new stuff! lol

[EmpyreOfTHUGa]

That is a very nice instrument.

[Keeeeeeeeth]

i want 1 !

[FloydPinkerton79]

next DT album will be amazing with this thing and the harpeji!

[Battossai3000]

i thought it was DT (Dream Theatre)

[403rd]

it is, that is Jordan Rudess of keyboardist of Dream Theater talking to Mark and Dave.

[Ragnarosofdarkness]

ill get 1 if the price will drop by 2k from 5600 to atleast 3600 or less

[dogma264]

you can get a medium sized one for 2600, or really smal one for 560

[octavian300]

They have the eiganharp Tau, and the pico. Tau is medium sized, very nice though. i belive its 2,600

[aaronbobaron]

if you look at other videos of them playing this, you'll see it's titled "Moby Extreme Ways on the Eigenharp"

[PrankWankers]

My apologies. Thank you for pointing that out. I totally thought they just stole it.

[elpagna]

Yes this video is awesome, I can't wait to hear Jordan using it !

[Turk1389]

& I thought it was cool to see him step out with a keytar at the last show I saw, this will give him so much freedom of movement, their stage shows will never be the same, I can't wait!

[sillymonkeytv]

Rudess will get his hands on one, and he will destroy it!

[EqualStatus]

......

[rockintom99]

They need to learn a new song...

[Aleciano]
