JAKARTA - InsideOut Music announced the signing of Dream Theater keyboardist Jordan Rudess for a new solo album to be released at the end of 2024.

This announcement coincides with a new interesting collaboration between Jordan and Moises, an AI-powered immersive creation tool (artificial intelligence) for musicians.

Jordan himself is currently making a final touch on his album which is expected to be released in September 2024.

The album features famous drummer Darby Todd (Devin Townsend, The Darkness) as well as the owner of the "Best Male Volcanist" award for two consecutive years in the poll of readers of Prog magazine Joe Payne.

"Saya tahu saya akan mendapat waktu istirahat setelah tur terakhir Dream Theater berakhir. Mudah-mudahan, cukup waktu untuk menyelesaikan album solo baru. Saya ingin album ini mendorong saya untuk mengembangkan perspektif komposisi baru," Jordan mengomentari penandatanganan dan album yang akan datang.

"So, this album is my first journey in making a solo album taking into account dedicated vocalist Joe Payne inspired me since I first heard him and drummer Darby Todd has instilled his signature style in every song," he continued.

"I have also stepped into an instrumental area that has not been mapped, playing guitar on several songs. The first, my daughter, Ariana, wrote all the lyrics for this album. We have worked closely together, ensuring that every lyric combines a story and allows Joe's beautiful voice to soar. I am a proud father. Overall this album is proof of collaboration and personal growth."
