Jordan Rudess presents Ellatron for Mellofest 2009

Just saw this on YouTube:

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.

Can´t get enough of these awesome musical gadgets Jordan show us!!!

Just mailed Standbuilder to have a confirmation.
If true, it's gonna be very cool.

Guess he is, the guy is a true visionary!! 5-10-15 years ago who could ever imagine that Jordan would use a cellphone on stage with Dream Theater? Technology is an awesome thing!

From Standbuilder :

Well, if you have seen him telling it, than it is true!!!
But, we are still figuring out HOW to build this attachment.
So it gonna be true.

I am so happy I am a Jordan Rudess AND a Mac geek!

There is no other musician out there that's both as talented as Jordan and also as open-minded.

I remember when people joked about him using it live. And now he is!

Awesome!!

[StandBuilder]

All I can and WILL say is, that Jordan, Robert Medina and I have discussed to put this iPhone on a stand....
But what it is going to be and how it is going to look is still one GREEEEAAAAT mystery...
............Even for me.....

But, you all be patient a few weeks and then you will see, what we have come up with....

Be patient. Be patient........................................... ......

You all know what happened with the cat... :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

stainlessly,

[Rudess]

Yes a mystery indeed.
Maybe there is something in Patricks brain we all need to know??????!!!

Awesome!!

yeah i always wanted to use the iphone live i've never really had the time to set it up tho

anyways my favourite iphone app synth is noise.io pro it is a really good synthsizer with cool assignable perameters and great effects which can be assigned too

i have a distorted lead right now which pitch is controlled by moving the iphone back and bit crush is controlled by moving the iphone side to side

Although I'm not a big fan of apple I can't deny that the control features are great!
