Liquid Tension Experiment (LTE) is an American instrumental progressive metal supergroup founded by drummer Mike Portnoy in 1997. The group released two studio albums in quick succession, in 1998 and 1999. A related release appeared in 2007 under the name Liquid Trio Experiment, created from sessions for the second album that continued without John Petrucci. The band was active until 1999, when keyboardist Jordan Rudess officially joined Dream Theater. LTE reunited in 2008 for a series of live performances. A live recording made largely without Rudess was issued in 2009 as Liquid Trio Experiment 2, alongside three full-band live albums and two video releases. In 2020, the original lineup reconvened to record a third studio album, which was released on April 16, 2021. Liquid Tension Experiment began when Magna Carta Records gave Mike Portnoy complete freedom to pursue any project he wished. He invited keyboardist Jordan Rudess and progressive rock veteran Tony Levin—known for his work with King Crimson and Peter Gabriel—to join him on bass and Chapman Stick. Portnoy had also considered bassist Billy Sheehan and keyboardist Jens Johansson for the project, but ultimately settled on the trio that would define LTE’s sound.
