Kevin Moore was a keyboardist for Dream Theater and one of the DT's founders. He has left the band in 1994 to begin a solo career, which, as he thought, was in contrary to what he made in Dream Theater. As I read before (don't exactly remember where), Kevin had plans to become a classical musician. I'm not sure that was true, but after all Kevin has initiated Chroma Key - a project with musical style stood far apart from both classical music and music of Dream Theater. Chroma Key became an attempt to make meditative progressive music with emphasis on synthesizers (of course, there is no even a trace of prog-metal here). How successful is the result? Despite the fact that "Graveyard Mountain Home" is rated relatively high by critics, I can't say I like it much. The music is quite original, but it's not of my taste. Maybe you'll like it more, who knows?
