Dream Theater keyboardist Jordan Rudess has shared a new video from his home studio. This time he takes a deep dive into Dream Theater's "Answering The Call", where he discusses the composition and construction of the song as well as the sound programming.

The full video is available via Rudess' patreon page, found here.

The song is taken from Dream Theater's latest album, A View From The Top Of The World.
