Dream Theater

I've been listening to Dream Theater - their Octavarium CD. Wonderful, wonderful music. Very skilfully executed. Compositions are surprisingly relaxed. Music is not so very heavy metal. Nice rhythmic complexities played somehow more furiously than in their earlier CDs. For me Jordan Rudess is the greatest hero and virtuoso player of this bunch of virtuoses...

Recorded bass for Jouko Takala's compositions Sateinen suurkaupunki (=Rainy City) and Sunnuntaiaamu (= Sunday Morning). In the afternoon Jouko e-mailed me flute-part for the former composition. I recorded it, too. And mixed the whole. Now Sateinen suurkaupunki is pretty much ready.
