Dream Theater keyboardist Jordan Rudess has launched a new page on Patreon.

Rudess states: “First of all, thanks so much for listening to my music and supporting my musical life. 

“This time at home has been the longest stretch that I can remember ever going without having to pack a suitcase. I've been keeping myself really busy working on new music, playing livestreams and enjoying my Steinway piano. THE MUSIC NEVER STOPS!

“Today, I launched my Patreon page. If you aren't familiar with Patreon, it's a really great platform for creators to connect directly with the people who support their work. There are membership options for listeners and learners. All of my Patreon tiers include behind-the-scenes content, early access to my new music and other ways to directly connect with me. 
You can choose to have access to my livestreams or join the new Wizdom Music Academy… or both!”

Check out a preview of Chopin Unleashed, his new classical rock fusion project. Rudess takes one of his favorite Chopin Nocturnes and electrifies it; the whole video can be watched for those that join his Patreon page.
