Dream Theater history

Dream Theater was formed in September 1985, when guitarist John Petrucci and bassist John Myung decided to form a band to fill their spare time while attending Berklee College of Music in Boston. They then found a drummer, Mike Portnoy, in one of the rehearsal rooms at Berklee, and after two days of negotiations, they managed to invite Mike Portnoy to join. After that, they all want to fill the two vacant places in the band, and Petrucci asked his friend the band, Kevin Moore, to be a keyboard player. He agreed, and when Chris Collins were invited to be a vocalist, the band was complete.
With five members, they decided to name the band by the name Majesty. According to the documentation DVD Score, five of them were lined up tickets for the Rush concert at the Berklee Performance Center while listening to Rush with a boom box. Portnoy and said that the ending of the song (Bastille Day) sounded very "Majestic". That's when they decided Majesty is a good name for a band, and remained good until now.
At the time - time, Portnoy, Petrucci and Myung is still struggling with their studies, also by working part time and teaching. Their schedules become tight tips so they must decide between pursuing a career in music or terminate the band Majesty. But eventually Majesty win and the three of them came out of Berklee to concentrate on her musical career. Petrucci comment about this in the documentation DVD Score, said that while it is very difficult to ask their parents to go to music school. And more difficult to convince her parents that she should drop out of school.
Moore is finally out of school, SUNY Fredonia, to concentrate with the band.

Songwriting Technique
Several unique songwriting techniques have been performed by Dream Theater, which mostly occurred in the period - the present, when they can experiment with their own record label.
Starting with the Train of Thought, Dream Theater have started inserting elements - small and hidden elements in their music, and includes these elements to the more fanatical enthusiasts. Characteristics of the most famous (the so-called "nugget") hidden in the "In The Name of God", which is a morse code of "eat my ass and balls" (eat my ass and my cock), which is the word - the famous words of Mike Portnoy . Since then, many enthusiasts - enthusiasts Dream Theater began trying to find things - little things that usually do not appeal to ordinary enthusiasts.
Some of them are well-known techniques include:

    
* Voice of the phonograph in the suffix of "Finally Free" on the album Scenes from a Memory is the same sound in the prefix of "The Glass Prison" on the next album, Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence. And the final key suffix in "As I Am" same key used on the next album, Train of Thought. Also, the piano being played in the suffix "In the Name of God" in the 'Train of Thought is not the same with the opening of "The Root of All Evil" on the next album, Octavarium.

    
* The three parts of "The Glass Prison" on Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, two parts of "This Dying Soul" at the Train of Thought and the two parts of "The Root of All Evil" on Octavarium show's first seven points of the twelve points - points in the program Alcoholics Anonymous by Bill Wilson, whose program was followed by Mike Portnoy. He also said that he would make a song - another song which includes five other programs, which will be directed to Wilson

    
* Dream Theater song writing sometimes uses techniques in which part - part of a song is developed each time they played. For example, the song "6:00" from Awake. After leading a song, they almost play the chorus, but to repeat the song from the prefix again (at minute 1:33). And when the chorus was supposed to be played at the next moment, they repeat again from the prefix, at minute 2:11. This technique can also be found in "Peruvian Skies", "Blind Faith" and "Endless Sacrifice"

    
* The use of repeated notations - also re-used, which are well known from the songs - songs of Charles Ives, for example:
          
o The theme song "Wait for Sleep" appears in "Learning to Live" (minute 8:11) and also appeared twice on "Just Let Me Breath" (minute 3:39 and 5:21)
          
o The theme song "Learning to Live" appeared in "Another Day" (2:53 minutes)
          
o The theme song "Space-Dye Vest" is used several times in the album Awake.
          
o The theme of the opening of "erotomania" used in "Voices" in Awake (4:51 minutes).
          
o One of melody - a melody in "Metropolis Pt 1 (The Miracle and the Sleeper)" is repeated in the second chorus in "Home" from Metropolis Pt 2 (Scenes From A Memory), by just changing one word. Some lyrics from "Metropolis Pt 1" just used in the "Home". Basically, the whole album "Scenes From A Memory" is full of musical / lyrical / conceptual variations of elements - musical elements of "Metropolis Pt 1" and "The Dance of Eternity" is actually constructed from variations - variations in the elements of music in songs - songs in album.
          
o Section - baguan of each song on the album "Octavarium" has been used in the fifth section of the same titled song, "Octavarium".

    
* Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, their sixth studio album, contains six songs and have character - character number six in the title - the title song. Train of Thought, their seventh studio album, contains seven songs. Octavarium, their eighth studio album includes eight songs and the album title is taken from the word octo, which is a Latin word that means eight, meaning that one octave of the musical term, which is the distance from one note to another note are eight notes in scales diatonik . More titles of this CD is 24 minutes, a multiple of 8. The front page of the album also contains the character - a character associated with 5 and 8. For example, a set of boxes - white boxes and boxes - black boxes, have the meanings an octave of the piano.

    
* The song "Octavarium" used to want to end with an echoing flute similar to the prefix of the song. But the piano is replaced with the same prefix from the album Octavarium. Mike Portnoy has said that the series prefix - suffix album will stop here, because the upcoming ninth album will be preceded by the suffix "Octavarium"

    
* Detailed analysis of the "nuggets" in "Octavarium" (called by Mike Portnoy as "a giant nugget") has been published in an independent site.

Sejarahnya Dream Theater


Dream Theater dibentuk pada bulan September 1985, ketika gitaris John Petrucci dan bassis John Myung memutuskan untuk membentuk sebuah band untuk mengisi waktu luang mereka ketika bersekolah di Berklee College of Music di Boston. Mereka lalu bertemu seorang pemain drum, Mike Portnoy, di salah satu ruang latihan di Berklee, dan setelah dua hari negosiasi, mereka berhasil mengajak Mike Portnoy untuk bergabung. Setelah itu, mereka bertiga ingin mengisi dua tempat kosong di band tersebut, dan Petrucci bertanya kepada teman band, Kevin Moore, untuk menjadi pemain keyboard. Dia setuju, dan ketika Chris Collins diajak untuk menjadi vokalis, band tersebut sudah komplit.

Dengan lima anggota, mereka memutuskan untuk menamai band tersebut dengan nama Majesty. Menurut dokumentasi DVD Score, mereka berlima sedang mengantri tiket untuk konser Rush di Berklee Performance Center ketika mendengarkan Rush dengan boom box. Portnoy lalu berkata bahwa akhiran dari lagu tersebut (Bastille Day) terdengar sangat "majestic". Pada saat itulah mereka memutuskan Majesty adalah nama yang bagus untuk sebuah band, dan tetap bagus sampai sekarang.

Pada saat - saat tersebut, Portnoy, Petrucci dan Myung masih berkutat dengan kuliah mereka, juga dengan kerja paruh waktu dan mengajar. Jadwal mereka menjadi kiat ketat sehingga mereka harus memutuskan antara mengejar karir di bidang musik atau mengakhiri band Majesty. Namun akhirnya Majesty menang dan mereka bertiga keluar dari Berklee untuk berkonsentrasi di karir musik. Petrucci mengomentari tentang hal ini di dokumentasi DVD Score, berkata bahwa saat tersebut sangat susah untuk meminta kepada orang tuanya untuk pergi ke sekolah musik. Dan lebih susah lagi untuk menyakinkan orang tuanya agar ia boleh keluar dari sekolah.

Moore juga akhirnya keluar dari sekolahnya, SUNY Fredonia, untuk berkonsentrasi dengan band tersebut.



Teknik Penulisan Lagu

Beberapa teknik penulisan lagu yang unik telah dilakukan oleh Dream Theater, yang kebanyakan terjadi di masa - masa sekarang, ketika mereka bisa bereksperimen dengan label rekaman mereka sendiri.

Dimulai dengan Train of Thought, Dream Theater sudah memulai memasukkan elemen - elemen kecil dan tersembunyi di musik mereka, dan memuat elemen tersebut kepada peminat yang lebih fanatik. Karakteristik yang paling terkenal (yang biasa disebut "nugget") tersembunyi di "In the Name of God", yang merupakan sandi morse dari "eat my ass and balls" (makan pantatku dan penisku), yang merupakan kata - kata terkenal dari Mike Portnoy. Sejak saat itu, banyak peminat - peminat Dream Theater mulai berusaha menemukan hal - hal kecil yang biasanya tidak menarik bagi peminat biasa.

Beberapa dari teknik mereka yang terkenal termasuk:

    * Suara dari fonograf di akhiran dari "Finally Free" di album Scenes from a Memory adalah suara yang sama di awalan "The Glass Prison" di album berikutnya, Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence. Dan akhiran kunci terakhir di "As I Am" sama dengan kunci yang digunakan di album selanjutnya, Train of Thought. Juga, not piano yang dimainkan di akhiran "In the Name of God" di 'Train of Thought adalah not yang sama dengan pembukaan "The Root of All Evil" di album berikutnya, Octavarium.

    * Tiga bagian dari "The Glass Prison" di Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, dua bagian dari "This Dying Soul" di Train of Thought dan dua bagian dari "The Root of All Evil" di Octavarium menunjukkan tujuh poin pertama dari dua belas poin - poin di program Alcoholics Anonymous oleh Bill Wilson, yang mana program itu diikuti oleh Mike Portnoy. Ia juga berkata bahwa ia akan membuat lagu - lagu lain yang memuat lima program lainnya, yang akan ditujukan untuk Wilson

    * Dream Theater kadang menggunakan teknik penulisan lagu dimana bagian - bagian dari sebuah lagu dikembangkan tiap kali mereka dimainkan. Contohnya, lagu "6:00" dari Awake. Setelah awalan lagu, mereka hampir memainkan chorus, tapi mengulang lagu tersebut dari awalan lagi (di menit 1:33). Dan ketika chorus sudah seharusnya dimainkan pada saat berikutnya, mereka mengulang lagi dari awalan, di menit 2:11. Teknik ini bisa juga ditemukan di "Peruvian Skies", "Blind Faith" dan "Endless Sacrifice"

    * Penggunaan notasi yang berulang - ulang juga digunakan, yang sudah dikenal dari lagu - lagu Charles Ives, contohnya:
          o Tema lagu "Wait for Sleep" muncul di "Learning to Live" (menit 8:11) dan juga muncul dua kali di "Just Let Me Breath" (menit 3:39 dan 5:21)
          o Tema lagu "Learning to Live" muncul di "Another Day" (menit 2:53)
          o Tema lagu "Space-Dye Vest" digunakan beberapa kali di album Awake.
          o Tema pembukaan dari "Erotomania" digunakan di "Voices" di Awake (menit 4:51).
          o Satu dari melodi - melodi di "Metropolis Pt 1 (The Miracle and the Sleeper)" diulang di chorus kedua di "Home" dari Metropolis Pt 2 (Scenes From A Memory), dengan cuma pengubahan satu kata. Beberapa lirik dari "Metropolis Pt 1" just digunakan di "Home". Pada dasarnya, keseluruhan album "Scenes From A Memory" penuh dengan musikal/lirikal/konseptual variasi dari elemen - elemen musikal dari "Metropolis Pt 1" dan "The Dance of Eternity" sebenarnya dibangun dari variasi - variasi elemen musik di lagu - lagu dalam album tersebut.
          o Bagian - baguan dari tiap lagu di album "Octavarium" telah digunakan di bagian kelima dari lagu berjudul sama, "Octavarium".

    * Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, studio album ke enam mereka, memuat enam lagu dan mempunyai karakter - karakter angka enam di judul - judul lagunya. Train of Thought, studio album ke tujuh mereka, memuat tujuh lagu. Octavarium, studio album ke delapan mereka memuat delapan lagu dan judul albumnya diambil dari kata octo, yang merupakan kata Latin yang berarti delapan, berarti satu oktaf dari istilah musik, yang mana merupakan jarak dari satu not ke not lain adalah delapan not di tangga nada diatonik. Judul lagi dari CD ini adalah 24 menit, kelipatan dari 8. Halaman depan albumnya juga memuat karakter - karakter yang berhubungan dengan 5 dan 8. Contohnya, satu set dari kotak - kotak putih dan kotak - kotak hitam, mempunyai arti satu oktaf dari piano.

    * Lagu "Octavarium" dulunya ingin diakhiri dengan seruling yang bergema serupa dengan awalan lagu tersebut. Namun diganti dengan not piano yang sama dari awalan album Octavarium. Mike Portnoy telah mengatakan bahwa seri awalan - akhiran album akan berhenti disini, karena album ke sembilan mendatang tidak akan diawali dengan akhiran "Octavarium"

    * Analisis detil tentang "nugget" di "Octavarium" (disebut oleh Mike Portnoy sebagai "sebuah nugget raksasa") telah dipublikasikan di sebuah situs independen.
