For Immediate Release Allan Holdsworth for the Theta

ISP Technologies, LLC. 5479 Perry Drive, Suite B Waterford, MI 48329 Media Contact: Michelle Waller 248-673-7790 [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ALLAN HOLDSWORTH FOR THE THETA PRO DSP Visionary Jazz/Progressive Rock guitarist, Allan Holdsworth, has endorsed the ISP Technologies Theta Pro DSP™ floor controlled guitar system. As an artist known for sculpting the guitar's voice into unfathomable textures and colors, Allan realized, after demoing the Theta Pro at a recent gig, just how easily he could shape his own tone. The ISP Technologies ThetaPro DSP™ is a Floor controlled guitar system with a fully programmable digital Theta preamp, Vintage preamp, plus Studio quality effects processing. While the buzz for many years has been “Modeling”, ISP takes a departure from the modeling processors and hands the guitar player the audio clay. Professional players like Holdsworth, want their own sound and the ThetaPro DSP delivers, allowing the artist to shape their own tone with limitless possibilities. With other great features, like the a 32 bit floating point processor, more usable gain than other processors on the market with no aliasing, and the ability to plug directly into the FOH system and/or record directly, more artists are discovering and using the Theta Pro both live and in the studio. Now with Ping Pong Delay, the Leslie Rotary Speaker Simulator, True Stereo, a Tuner (accurate to a 1/2 cent), the Theta Pro DSP is the ultimate guitar system. In Allan Holdsworth's continued quest for the perfect sound, he said, "The Theta Pro sounds simply amazing. Exceptional tone shaping abilities." To have Holdsworth, an inductee into Guitar Players Magazine's Hall of Fame, who has also been named as influential in their music by such renowned artists as Eddie Van Halen, Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen, John Petrucci, Alex Lifeson, Michael Romeo and Greg Howe, choose the Theta Pro DSP was amazing. ISP Technologies is greatly honored to have such an amazing and genre-defying guitarist use the Theta Pro DSP. ISP Technologies' products are based on 30 plus patents in the audio arena, and are manufactured in the USA. www.isptechnologies.com https://allanholdsworthtest.wordpress.com .

Here you will find resources that shed light on the basics of one of the greatest musical developments in modern history.WWW.BSSVE.IN Born in America, jazz can be seen as a reflection of the cultural diversity and individualism of this country. At its core are openness to all influences, and personal expression through improvisation. Throughout its history, jazz has straddled the worlds of popular music and art music, and it has expanded to a point where its styles are so varied that one may sound completely unrelated to another.

The Guitar Institute Teacher and Soundtrack Doer Lindsey Boullt Has Come True a Life's Dream with This Album
Progressive Newsletter Review 092907 Lindsey Boullt – Composition (40:12, Privatpressung, 2007) Der Guitar Institute-Lehrer und Filmmusikmacher Lindsey Boullt hat sich mit diesem Album einen Lebenstraum erfüllt. Allein schon die einzigartige Gästeliste vermag allerdings auch höchste Erwartungen von Proghörern einzulösen: Hier geben sich Jerry Goodman (vln, u. a. The Flock, Mahavishnu Orchestra), Derek Sherinian (keyb., Ex-Dream Theater, Chroma Key, Planet X), Stu Hamm (bss, u. a. Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Frank Gambale) und Atma Anur (drms, u. a. Tony MacAlpine, Richie Kotzen, Jason Becker, Cacophony, Doppler Inc., Greg Howe) ein Stelldichein. Doch „Composition“ ist mehr, als nur ein Projekt mit ganz großen Namen, es handelt sich hier Omen-mäßig eben auch um zwingende, geradezu in den Bann schlagende Kompositionen aus dem Umfeld Jazzrock, Progmetal und Weltmusik eindeutig orientalisch/indischer Prägung. Beispielsweise die Gitarren- (Tapping)/Keyboard-Duelle, die sich Boullt und Sherinian auf dem einleitenden „Page Revisited“ liefern, brauchen sich vor nichts auf dem legendären Shrapnel-Label Erschienenen zu verstecken. „Chasing the Whirling Dervish“ jagt überwiegend akustisch einen deutlich erkennbar aus der Mclaughlin-Zauberlampe entwichenen Dämon. Und bringt diesen mit Hilfe von Jerrys magischer Geige schließlich auch wunderbar zu einer Art von musikalischer Räson. Auf „Moving Panvishnu“ lässt derselbe Musikerhurricane das Barometer in die gleiche Richtung sacken, während Boullts Solo dann auf's Angenehmste Allan Holdsworth herbeizitiert. Stimmliche Beiträge vom in der Qawwali-/Sham Chorasi-Tradition singenden pakistanischen Künstler Sukhawat Ali Khan sind u. a. auf dem eindringlichen „Call for Peace“ vernehmlich. Stark anbefohlen für Fans von Mahavishnu, Shakti, Sherinian, The Flock, Curved Air. Erhältlich via iTunes, DigStation und www.lindseybullt.com/music.htm.

Interview: Rich Mangicaro - Photos: Rob Shanahan 015 Parents have a powerful and positive impact upon the development and health of their children. The relationship between father and son early on in life is crucial—dad is his son’s first role model. He is both consciously and subconsciously observed, and his words and actions are absorbed, even before the child’s first spoken word. With an artistic parent, a child can be influenced even while still in the womb; rhythms and melodies permeate mama’s belly and the child is most definitely affected by this. Some say it’s the beginning of ‘natural talent’ or ‘being born with it.’ Some say the child is an old soul. To have one child that is born with this natural artistic talent is quite something to behold, but to have four?! This is extraordinary. Thus is the case with the Wackerman family. Hailing from Orange County, California, this gifted musical family has inspired thousands of musicians worldwide. All four of Chuck and Barbara Wackerman’s sons are absolute virtuosos on their instrument. Three of their sons, Chad, John and Brooks became drummers like their dad. Equally as talented as his drumming brothers, Bob Wackerman chose the drummer’s right-hand instrument, the bass.

2005 on Allan Holdsworth
On Allan Holdsworth: January 2005 with Christophe Coureau 1) Do you remember the circumstances in which you first became aware of Allan as a musician ? I was surprised to read a Melody Maker interview from November 1972 in which you already cited Allan as one of the guitarists that impressed you most, alongside John McLaughlin and Robert Fripp. Where did you first see him play, and with whom ? I can't quite remember. Maybe a Soft Machine album, and certainly he was very strong on "Gazeuse" by Gong. No-one else had that liquid style and the octave leaps and the whammy bar and the rest of it... 2) As far as I know, your first collaboration with Allan was a demo for Virgin of "The Abingdon Chasp" in, I think, the summer of 1976, alongside Dave Stewart, Francis Moze and Ray Warleigh. Is this true? Do you remember playing/recording more tracks? Just Allan's compositions? Was this the first time you ever played together? Did that session leave you a strong impression, an inkling that Allan and yourself could form a strong musical partnership ? I don't remember anything about that demo, but Allan had certainly aked me to play in a pub in Putney (South-West London ) some time around then with Ray Warleigh. of course, by now I knew enough about his talent to be hugely impressed, and to think that if ever the opportunity arose, if ever I could find a vehicle big enough to contain him, I'd give him a call... 3) Although you had found Jeff Berlin as early as 1975, it seems you didn't think of asking Allan to join your band and that he played on "Feels Good To Me" as a last minute decision.

Interview by Stuart Winkleman, Rocketsounds
Elmer Ferrer Cuba's Hot Guitar Hand Part 1 Part 2 Guitarist and composer Elmer Ferrer is one of the most active studio musicians in Cuba. When he first dedicated himself to music, he was one of just a handful of Cuban electric guitar players. Since then, he has become a professor at the school where he studied both classical and electric guitar, toured internationally, and appeared on several soundtracks and over 60 CDs. His flexible and eclectic style includes acoustic folk, blues, hard rock, and electric jazz... a diverse mix of different things, or as they say in Cuba, "tremendo arroz con mango." He was gracious enough to grant Rocket Sounds Photo by Iván Soca this exclusive interview, following the release of his new CD, Fango Dance. RS: Elmer, congratulations on the release of your second CD, Fango Dance. It is awesome! EF: Thanks a lot! I´m glad you like it. RS: What is your background and how did you come to be a guitar player? EF: I was born in Sancti Spíritus, one of the central provinces of Cuba, which always had a very rich musical environment. My mother is a musician too, and when I was a kid, I was surrounded by music all the time. I have a sister and a brother, and the three of us are all professional musicians. I used to sing at school and theaters when I was a kid and always liked the sound of the guitars. That was the instrument that captured my attention, and that was the reason I started to study classical guitar at 12.
