Unfortunately, you won't run into quite as many famous musicians at Messe as you do at NAMM, but every now and then, there's a recognizable face in Frankfurt, too.
This time, I met Dream Theater's keyboard wizard
Jordan Rudess at the Arturia booth. If you aren't familiar with Jordan's music, search for "Jordan Rudess" on YouTube to see what this guy can do with a few ebony and ivory keys. Mindblowing!
(Note to self: Man, I look like a total nutcase in that photo. Better get a camera with an image stabilizer soon...)
