Well, this is a crazy video. Jordan Rudess, legendary keyboardist and master musician dropped by my house for a unique AI Challenge. I showed him an AI Generated Image and had him improvise a piece of music. I then turned that song into a Music Video...with no budget!
How did I accomplish it? By using AI, of course. Namely, the wonderful LTX Studio!
Not only that, but I'll also deep dive into Jordan's thoughts on the past and current state of Music Videos, and how technology can be a useful tool for promoting your own music.
And that's not all. Like Jordan says in the video, Dream Theater Music Videos are all about the performances-- so, I do have a special surprise waiting for you in this video as well!
