Dream Theater have released their double album The Astonishing and today they unveil the music video for the track "The Gift" directed by Wes Teshome.
John Petrucci tells Rollingstone.com:
“It was great working with director Wes Teshome on our latest video for ‘The Gift of Music.’ While we were looking to keep the emphasis on performance, we wanted to be sure that the vibe was unique and special so we found a really interesting location to film in New Jersey that had the perfect atmosphere. By blending in some digital animation we were also able to covey some of the concept from The Astonishing as well. We think it demonstrates the perfect balance of story and performance.”
