Dream Theater “The Alien” - keyboard track with backing drum+bass

A Deep dive into the Jordan Rudess world playing this very tough DT song which shows how his job is extremely fine and accurate regarding sound programming, orchestrations and all the technical challenges.
I’ve mostly played and programmed Alien on my “spaceship” Korg Kronos…in addition i’ve used Waldorf Quantum for pads and the powerful Roland Fantom for Pianos
Here you can find the backing track i’ve used on this video. • The Alien - Backing Tr...
A very special Thanks to my Brother Alberto Trullu ( / kurzyroly ) who’s my personal “guide” in sound programming world…
A very special Thanks to my Brother Marcello Marcellini ( / @marcellomarcellini5745 ) who’s daily pushing me beyond my own limits….reminding that “The impossible is Never out of reach”…
A Huge mention for “Lupo” the Lamb…he’s everywhere , he’s the answer to everything ❤️

Thanks bro❤️❤️

[@suspiciousdoge9yand104]

I think that heavy bass part in 8:55 is done by John Myung using a Moog Taurus

[@TheMrBeardfish]

Yeah, it could be.

[@sergiomarcano9697]

Amazing !!!!

[@OscarPoblete]

Incredible job, keep these videos coming!

[@TheMrBeardfish]

[@Mikeyriffs]

Yo! I really want the isolated keys for this. Can you post it or put a link in bio? I’m willing to pay!

[@mattwright466]

Hi! Could I use your performance in my cover of the opening solo and give you credit in a watermark + link back in description? :-)

[@TheMrBeardfish]

Hi man, sure you can…but the rights of the song belong to Dream Theater not to me 😀….if you cite my YT channel i’ll appreciate a lot….thank you so much, and have a nice music🤟🤟

[@mattwright466]

@@TheMrBeardfish Of course I understand the rights belong to DT!
Thanks :D
I really love the thickness you added with the keys. The other backing tracks avail are missing that. Nice work. 👌

[@suspiciousdoge9yand104]

Were you a member of Space4keys before?

[@TheMrBeardfish]

Hi man…no, i’ve Never been a part of that crew.

[@estebanarchivos]

Hello friend, could I use your keyboard track for a cover?
I just need the keyboard track
When the video uploads I will mention you

[@TheMrBeardfish]

Ok dude! But mention also the guy who made my back track and above all Dream Theater obviously.

[@victormontielpiano]

Really amazing man!! One question, how did you manage to get just the drums from the song? And did you learn The Alien by ear or are there any scores already? Thanks man, contrats again, great job!

[@TheMrBeardfish]

Hi dude. The backing track are drum and bass. You can find the backing in my description.
To date, there are no official sheets of the last DT album.

Still I think JR is not my favorite DT Keyboard player.
Phenomenal but no emotions in his parts

[@TheMrBeardfish]

Your opinion 🤷‍♂️. To me, He’s completely differet from Derek and Kevin..different attitude…but believe it or not he influenced DT composition over two decades.

[@gq_79]

@@TheMrBeardfish of course he influenced DT. It’s the main influence in fact.

[@TheMrBeardfish]

@@gq_79 Sure it is!

[@Bloorgusgoorge]

I agree JR is an insane keyboardist seeing him live was insane and he does have a lot of emotion of some of his composition but I still feel he wasn’t as tasty as Kevin Moore, Moore had so much taste in his licks and that take the time intro is still insane!

[@sanchzilla477]

Whaaaaat, I respect your opinion but I feel like JR has a healthy balance of technical and emotional aspects within his compositions. First example I think of is pretty much the entire overture of 6DOIT…

[@alepsycho5104]

Hey Bro, you have Instagram? I made the Guitar cover with my Clarinet and i Will mencion you
