Jordan Rudess presents Ellatron for Mellofest 2009

Jordan Rudess is amazing - not only an incredibly talented musician, but extremely generous of spirit and of his time. Despite having a world tour coming up with Dream Theater in a few weeks, he found the time, along with musical collaborator and videographer Richard Lainhart, to put together this great video, which is both a special message to Mellofest 2009 and an emphatic approval of our Ellatron App for the iPhone. Personally, I am so thrilled to see him play Ellatron, and the way he manages to hold the iPhone and play chord pads and individual notes (and fingered chords) at the same time is an amazing feat of dexterity and balance.

Let me say here - thank you Jordan and Richard for putting this together, it was *VERY* well received by both the organizer of the festival and the crowd.

Hmm, seeing a world famous keyboard player struggling to hit tiny little keys, is really not making me want an iphone in the slightest... good try though!
