The idea behind the project is to collaborate online to record these covers.
Although some good friends of mine form the core of the project, the band isnt necessarily the same for every song. We have guests from around the world participating, mostly on vocals though, at our discretion.
How does it work?
Each guy in the band records their parts (audio tracks and video) at home or at a local studio and sends them to me.
I then put the audio together and mix it. This has been a great exercise for me (mixing). I learn the concept behind the sound of my favorite albums and try a whole bunch of cool techniques attempting to replicate it closely.
I AB my mix with the original song but don't get too crazy about it. It's difficult to get the sound exactly right due to a number of variables. When I get it close enough I stop comparing the two and just get it to sound good (hopefully) from there.
When the final stereo audio track is done I take it to a video editing software and sync everyone's videos to it. After a bit of editing and level/color correction it's ready for KZbin. :)

[@JordanRudessKeys]

Great job guys!!!!

[@felippemagnago]

Jordan Rudess here ? That's awesome!

[@qifhanazhari6213]

i think you are so glad ! release on youtube december and this cover release still december,, so fast ! nice appreciate

[@ThiagoCamposOfficial]

+Jordan Rudess Thanks Jordan! Glad you were able to check it out and enjoy it! Looking forward to when you guys are back in Brasilia!

[@lenerjan]

+Jordan Rudess Thiago and others made awsome job, but to be honest: It has not the quality of the original. See ya in Europe, Jordan!

[@davidsoneagleclaw]

+Jordan Rudess omg

[@TheBushwooky]

The vocal collaboration in the middle was awesome.

[@KommandantDahl]

+TheBushwooky I wanted to believe that the chorus on the original would be made up of Dream Theater fans assembled to record it (like the ones on Systematic Chaos).

[@ThiagoCamposOfficial]

Haha, if they didn't do it on THE ASTONISHING, at least VRA! did it! :D

[@dacalis]

Such a pity that the wonderful all voices mid section is just once 🙁

[@he-man3653]

You guys have it all wrong. The asian guy goes on the bass. The guy with the more epic beard goes lead. You don't have a bald guy, but at least you have the pirate doing vocals.

[@Essa]

Thumbs up if that choir gave you goosebumps!

[@scarypoolparty]

+Abdulla Essa Sure did!!

[@danielmelgar8839]

+Abdulla Essa The whole song gave me goosebumps, but the choir section made me feel a tremendous joy and gratitiude for this "Gift" !!!! And it must be priceless that JR himself honor you by viewing your cover guys. Congratulations !!!

[@joaoldmedeiros]

+Abdulla Essa Holy fucking shit didn't it? I was just scrolling down to comment the exact same thing!

[@KommandantDahl]

+Abdulla Essa Just as glorious here as it is on the original

[@KommandantDahl]

+KommandantDahl Holy shit that a capella at the end was unexpected and amazing.

[@MrEstiui]

Still coming back to this video for the choir section in the end. Still getting goosebumps every time.

[@decarlimartin234]

[@IIK1rKII]

[@douglinhassantos3mc6]

I loved the coral !!! I was impressed!!!!VERY NICE JOB!!!!

[@RodniDemental]

That keyboardist blows my mind everytime, especially when he's playing strings in the left hand and organ in the right. Whole performance is amazing but damn, this guy.
