Brace yourself for one of the wildest musician stories you've ever heard. Amarillo, Texas' Hayden Pedigo makes gorgeous fingerstyle guitar music inspired by the likes of Will Ackerman and John Fahey. But Hayden has broken every mold imaginable when it comes to his career in music.  The son of a truck stop preacher, Hayden worked at local Amarillo banks, recording music after-hours and aggressively reaching out to his music heroes to see if they wanted to collaborate (they often did). He finally ditched the life of a bank teller, got signed to indie label Mexican Summer, and - thanks to a quirky internet video - found himself running for Amarillo city council (he came in second). As if that wasn't unique enough, at some point, Gucci spotted him and recruited him to be in a fashion show.  Stranger still, here's a working musician with a guitar and string endorsement deal (Yamaha and D'Addario) and an NPR Tiny Desk concert under his belt whose only touring to date has been opening for big indie acts like Jenny Lewis and Devendra Banhardt. We talk about growing up in Amarillo, his Opus acoustic guitar, his recent signing to Yamaha, and so much more. You'll love it and you'll love Hayden's unique approach towards his art.

The quiet days after the Thanksgiving celebration are an interlude to rest, regroup, and prepare for the busy holiday season ahead. We turn from the dark times of Scorpio to the season of light; internalize the spirit of gratitude we feel for friends and family and the good fortune we have...and perhaps watch a bit of football while we polish off the last of those endless turkey sandwiches. At Hearts of Space, it's time for us to return to our theme of virtual travel through music. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, an ambient acoustic journey for late autumn called IMAGINARY ROADS. Music is by WILL ACKERMAN, PHIL KEAGGY & JEFF JOHNSON, RUSSEL WALDER, WAYNE GRATZ, MICHAEL STRIBLING, BRUNO SANFILIPPO, and the PAUL WINTER CONSORT.

    Paul is back with some of the mystical ambience he does so well. He brings us a hour of tunes that straddle the fine line between new age and ambient music, perfect for the waning days of autumn.  Here is what Paul says about this mix: “Mystical ambient atmospheres meet New Age relaxation. Lots of bells, minimalist piano, acoustic guitar and flute to celebrate the austere, liminal quality of late autumn—my favorite season. All tracks are from albums released this year, except the two ‘guest appearances' by George Winston and Windham Hill Records founder Will Ackerman. As a side note, I generally avoid familiar tunes on my sleep and meditation mixes, as their specific associations might disrupt the listener's mental or spiritual flow into a specific direction. But the ‘Ave Maria' featured here, by Larkenlyre, is one of the most sublime renditions of this classic tune by Franz Schubert I've ever heard.” Here are links to all the music used in this mix: https://anantakara.art/album/before-completion  https://projektrecords.bandcamp.com/album/it-flows-between-us  https://thelovelymoon.bandcamp.com/album/drifting-with-the-crescent-moon  https://maxjeschek.bandcamp.com/album/the-awakening  https://heartdancerecords.bandcamp.com/album/earthbeat  https://matthewlabarge.bandcamp.com/album/magical-majestical  https://dancingcatrecords.bandcamp.com/album/december  https://williamackerman.bandcamp.com/album/pure-will-ackerman https://projektrecords.bandcamp.com/album/amongst-jungles  https://tles.bandcamp.com/album/music-for-hard-times  https://lorenzweber.bandcamp.com/album/earth-beats  https://projektrecords.bandcamp.com/album/paeans  https://robert-scott-thompson.bandcamp.com/album/dragging-the-sea-with-dreams-2  Thanks, Paul, for another excellent collection of tracks!   T R A C K L I S T : 00:00    Anantakara - After The Rain (Before Completion 2023) 05:35    Arin Aksberg - Virtuality (It Flows Between Us 2023) 10:07    The Lovely Moon - The Crescent Moon in Twilight (Drifting with the Crescent Moon 2023) 15:15    Max Jeschek- Drifting Off to Sleep (The Awakening 2023) 19:36    Sherry Finzer & Joseph Akins - Eventide (Earthbeat 2023) 23:18    Larkenlyre - Ave Maria (Magical Majestical 2023) 26:40    George Winston - Some Children See Him (December 1982) 30:15    Will Ackerman - Singing Crocodile (Pure Will Ackerman 2006) 33:24    Jarguna & Nicola Serena - The Forest Does Not Sleep (Amongst Jungles 2023) 38:51    The Living Earth Show - Music for Hard Times pt 6 (Music for Hard Times 2022) 42:31    Lorenz Weber - pulsing the current (earth beats 2023) 46:10    Aarktica - A Leaf's Prayer (Paeans 2023) 53:53    Robert Scott Thompson - Distance Breathes a Final Dream of Bells (Dragging The Sea With Dreams (2023) 60:27    end

Will Ackerman is a visionary composer, fingerstyle guitarist and producer. As the founder of Windham Hill Records, he achieved international success with his own music and that of artists such as Michael Hedges, George Winston, Alex De Grassi and others.  Windham Hill's sumptuous, detailed sound is widely acknowledged to be a milestone in the evolution of the acoustic guitar. Let's face it: When the first D-28 rolled off the Martin Guitar Company production line, they were hardly expecting Michael Hedges! In fact, no one was...least of all Will Ackerman. In this conversation, he shares some beautiful stories about meeting Michael for the first time and the recording sessions for Aerial Boundaries!  We also get some extraordinary insights about the early days of Will's career, hanging out with the Kingston Trio, kayaking with Steve Jobs, the correct way to kick priceless digital mastering equipment, and much more. Many of you doubtless know that Will Ackerman was touched by tragedy at an early age. He talks candidly about this when we discuss his beautiful piece, "The Impending Death of The Virgin Spirit." Once again - this is REAL LIFE on the fretboard - but listener discretion is encouraged.  I caught up with Will Ackerman during his visit to the beautiful English town of Royal Tunbridge Wells. The hotel where he was staying had been a favorite of Queen Victoria and its staff continue to uphold fastidious levels of excellence...even at one point interrupting the recording with a session of vacuum cleaning right outside the room. While I dealt with this Ackerman was left with a hot mic;  I have kept the results for posterity.  To contribute directly to Life on The Fretboard please use this Tip Jar link https://michaelwattsguitar.com/tip-jars/4745 This episode was brought to you by the kind sponsorship of Mirabella Guitars https://www.mirabellaguitars.com/ , Microtech Gefell Microphones  https://www.microtechgefell.de/, Fretboard Journal and, you, the listener. To learn more about Will Ackerman visit https://williamackerman.com/  Join me next time where I will be spending time with the extraordinary talent that is Italian singer/songwriter Emma Tricca. You may have seen her on tour with Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets or Dinosaur Jr. It's a fantastic conversation that I can't wait to share with you.

Grammy winning new age pianist Peter Kater and Paul Cardall, also an award winning pianist, discuss Peter's career and the history new age music. They talk about building successful and prosperous independent music careers in a genre often misunderstood and overlooked by the commercial market. ABOUT PETER KATERWebsite: http://www.peterkater.comFacebookTwitterYoutubeInstagram Listen to Peter KaterSpotifyApple MusicAmazon Music Peter Kater was born of German parents in the Bavarian City of Munich. At the age of seven, not long after moving to New Jersey, his mother insisted that he take classical piano lessons. At the age of 18 Peter left New Jersey with his backpack and his music books and hitch-hiked all around the continental US for over a year. He slept in parks and on beaches and roadsides across the country while stopping to play piano at restaurants and lounges for tips and meals. After logging in over 30,000 miles on the road Peter landed in Boulder, Colorado, finding comfort and inspiration in the Rocky Mountains which reminded him of his childhood upbringing in the Bavarian Alps. Shortly thereafter he started listening to the music of pianist Keith Jarrett; the avant jazz group, Oregon; and the Paul Winter Consort. This opened a whole new musical world and he began improvising 3-4 hours a night at clubs and lounges throughout the Boulder/Denver area sometimes 5 to 6 nights a week. After several years he tired of playing clubs and lounges and quit all his engagements and began renting out small churches and self-promoting small concerts through out Colorado. In 1983 Peter released his first album of solo piano compositions and improvisations entitled SPIRIT. His music was very well received and started charting in the Top 10 of National Contemporary Jazz Airplay charts and within a short couple of years Peter went from playing small churches to performing at 3,000 seat concert halls and at national jazz festivals at the age of 27. In 1985, Actor ROBERT REDFORD asked Peter to play at the then brand new Sundance Institute & Film Festival in Utah. Peter became the featured performer at many of Redford's “green” political fundraisers and events attended by many Hollywood A-list actors, directors and celebrities such as Alan Alda, Sidney Pollock, James Brooks, Dave Grusin, Laura Dern, Mathew Broderick and Ted Turner to name just a very few. In his concerts around Colorado, Peter started to share the stage with some of his favorite artists from his teen years such as DAN FOGELBERG and JOHN DENVER. John Denver asked Peter to coordinate the music for his ground breaking Choices for the Future Symposiums every summer in Aspen, Colorado and also invited him to perform at concerts in Japan and at World Forum events performing for dignitaries and celebrities such as Mikael Gorbachov and Shirley McLain. These collaborations with John Denver went on for almost 10 years until John's untimely death in 1997. Peter's music also caught the attention of New York City's legendary director and Circle Rep Theater co-founder, Marshall Mason and Pulitzer Prize winning playwright, Lanford Wilson. Peter's music became the score to their Tony-Award winning Broadway production of Burn This starring John Malkovich and Joan Allen which ran for over one year. As the newest member of their “A-team” in the following years Peter scored the music for 11 On- & Off-Broadway dramatic plays receiving widespread critical acclaim. As Peter's music spread across the world he scored more music for television and films and worked closely with his favorite environmental and humanitarian organizations such as Greenpeace, the National Wildlife Federation, the Nature Conservancy and ChildReach. In 1989 a close friend gave Peter a cassette called Earth Spirit by Native American flutist, R. CARLOS NAKAI. Peter was completely taken by the beauty and earthiness of the Native flute. Peter tracked down Nakai and asked him to collaborate with him on a recording. In the studio they felt as if they'd been playing together forever and their first album, Natives, was completed effortlessly in just a few hours. When recording with Nakai, Peter felt he was embarking on a little “personal” indulgence, temporarily diverging from his thriving mainstream contemporary jazz career. But to his surprise, while his recordings like Coming Home, Two Hearts, Gateway and Rooftops were charting in the Top 10 of National Jazz charts; the new recordings with R. Carlos Nakai quickly became immensely popular in the alternative market selling 100's of thousands of units each and generated a solid and much more personal fan base. Because of the deep satisfaction Peter felt in co-creating this beautiful music with Nakai, he quickly lost interest in the “jazz” genres and shifted his focus to music of a more intimate “healing” nature. Peter then recognized a need for music in support of the healing arts that could actually aid in deep personal healing and transformation. He recorded albums like Compassion and Essence that provided not only a loving supportive musical landscape but also an invitation to dive deeply and safely into one's essential emotional and spiritual nature. Many more CD's in support of the Healing Arts followed as did more recordings with R. Carlos Nakai, seven of which charted in the Top 20 of Billboard's New Age chart. Peter's love and appreciation for the earth and indigenous cultures inspired him to invite more indigenous musicians to record on various projects with him including Native American vocalists Joanne Shenandoah, Bill Miller and Rita Coolidge; Native American flutists Robert Mirabal, Joseph Firecrow, Mary Youngblood, Douglas Blue Feather, Kevin Locke; and South American flutists Jorge Alfano and Ara Tokatlian. Peter also composed two songs for the immensely popular Sacred Spirit recording which sold over 5 millions copies in Europe alone. Peter's music continued to grow and evolve and found it's way into the 2000 and 2004 World Olympics, the Kentucky Derby, the Wild World of Sports and countless television shows like Good Morning America, Entertainment Tonight, LifeStyles of the Rich & Famous and Bay Watch to name just few. He's scored the music for acclaimed television series like How The West Was Lost; Wild America; Civil War: The Untold Story; Eco-Challenge and Joseph Campbell's Mythos series and films like Sirius, The Legend of Secret Pass and 10 QUESTIONS FOR THE DALAI LAMA. He's given concerts throughout the USA, Europe, Japan and South Korea including performances at the Kennedy Center, Carnegie Hall, JFK Stadium in Washington DC, Red Rocks Amphitheater in Denver and the United Nations in NYC where he received the prestigious United Nations Environment Leadership Award. Possibly one of Peter's strongest attributes is his love for collaboration with other artists such as Singer/songwriter Kenny Loggins; Tibetan flutist, Nawang Khechog; Sting guitarist Dominic Miller; Sacred Chantress Snatam Kaur and of course his legendary collaboration with Native American flutist, R. Carlos Nakai. He's also enjoyed performing and recording with many other talented musicians such as virtuoso reedman Paul McCandless; Maverick Cellist David Darling; Peter Gabriel's legendary Bassist, Tony Levin; and renowned Brazilian cellist Jaques Morelenbaum. Peter has often been called prolific and is said to have the “gift of melody”. His love and enthusiasm for the creative process, self-exploration, the healing arts and the natural world continues to inspire a well-spring of composing and recording. In a thriving career spanning over 3 decades and going strong, Peter Kater has recorded over 60 albums resulting in the sales of millions of units; has scored the music for well over 100 television and film productions including 11 On- and Off-Broadway dramatic plays; ands the recipient of dozens of awards and honors including 14 Grammy® nominations and a Grammy Award win for his 2017 Dancing On Water recording and his 2019 Wings recording. But most importantly his music has uplifted, soothed, healed and inspired the lives of millions of people all around the world.  ABOUT THE HOST PAUL CARDALLhttp://www.paulcardall.comhttp://www.facebook.com/paulcardallmusichttp://www.youtube.com/cardallhttp://www.instagram.com/paulcardall LISTEN TO HIS MUSICAPPLE MUSIC - https://music.apple.com/us/artist/paul-cardall/4312819SPOTIFY - https://open.spotify.com/artist/7FQRbf8gbKw8KZQZAJWxH2AMAZON - Ask Alexa to play Peaceful Piano by Paul Cardall Paul Cardall is an artist who has given a new meaning to the phrase, a change of heart and how he used this radical change to take his music to an unexpected place.  Despite being born with a potentially life-threatening heart defect Paul Cardall has become a world recognized pianist.

Acoustic versus electric: once upon a time it was an issue — infamously with Bob Dylan's plugged-in performance at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965. Electric won that round, at least for guitars and popular music. But by the mid 1970's acoustic was back, with the rise of Windham Hill Records and its purist approach to so-called "American Primitive" guitar and piano. Many innovations have come and gone in the evolution of music since then. We still have purely acoustic folk, jazz, new age, and classical music, but without much fuss, electro-acoustic hybrids have become increasingly mainstream. Acoustic instruments provide a familiar, comforting, organic sound, and support musical expression; electronics expand the subtle dimensions of tone, imagery, and ethereality. Together they make a potent contemporary combination. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we explore the transition from acoustic to electro-acoustic, on a program called TRANSONIC. Music is by WILL ACKERMAN, JEFF OSTER, & TOM EATON, DAVID MICHAEL, WILL ACKERMAN solo, RYAN JUDD, TOM EATON solo, JEFF PEARCE, RUSSEL WALDER, and DAGOBERT BÖHM.

MUSICOn one knee by Will Ackerman

The story of Windham Hill Records is both a story of success, and a cautionary tale. From its emergence in the heart of Silicon Valley in 1976 as a tiny independent label for co-founder WILL ACKERMAN's ironically low-tech solo acoustic guitar music, it became the poster child for the emerging genre that was eventually dubbed New Age by the record industry ten years later. Described as "instrumental, acoustic, and mellow," with high quality analogue recordings on vinyl and tasteful minimalist graphics, Windham Hill got distribution from one of the major labels, expanded its roster with kindred acoustic artists like pianist GEORGE WINSTON and guitarist MICHAEL HEDGES, and went on to sell millions of records. So...success, but there's a big difference between music, and the music business. The pressure was intense, and Will Ackerman wasn't happy. He never wanted to be a corporate record executive, so he sold his half of the company in 1992 and retired to a farm in rural Vermont. That would normally be the end of the story, but Ackerman was still relatively young and wanted to get back to making music. So he built a recording studio on the property, teamed up with ace engineers CORIN NELSEN and TOM EATON, and began to record and produce other acoustic artists. A few years later he started another independent label, but this time — he stayed independent. And that's where the story takes a creative turn. In over twenty years of working with hundreds of compatible musicians, Ackerman began to collaborate as an acoustic guitarist as well as a producer, which led to participation in instrumental "supergroups" like FLOW (in 2019) with trumpeter JEFF OSTER, guitarist LAWRENCE BLATT, pianist FIONA JOY HAWKINS, and triple-threat artist-engineer-producer TOM EATON; and (in 2021) with JEFF OSTER and TOM EATON in BROTHERS....

    Autumn seems perfectly suited to ambient music, especially ambient with a tinge of melancholy. I was thinking about doing an fall-themed mix when Paul approached me with his fully curated mix for autumn. Perfect! Here's what Paul says about this mix: “Dedicating this one to my sister, Miriam Walter, professor of nursing at Chico State University in Northern California. Her birthday is today, September 19th. This turned out to be mostly guitar and piano, although I always (and still) intended it to be a going-to-sleep mix. Like most of my playlists for LLM, it starts out moderately slow and gets progressively slower and quieter. Just a bunch of beautiful tunes, with a touch of melancholy that I always associate with fall, and surrendering into tranquility.” Thanks for another excellent mix, Paul!   Cheers!     T R A C K L I S T : 00:00    Peter Chilvers & Jon Durant - Always Autumn (Always Golden Sands 2020) 05:10    Will Ackerman, Jeff Oster, Tom Eaton - The Golden Hour (Brothers 2021) 09:52    Jeff Johnson & Phil Keaggy - Mosaic 7 (Ravenna 2021) 16:27    Between Interval - The Tides Of Time (Autumn Continent 2006) 20:50    Uman - Somewhere On Earth (You Are Here 1999) 24:41    Ken Verheecke - Falling Leaves (Autumn Reflections 2011) 28:23    Jeff Pearce - A Walk Through The Leaves (From the Darker Seasons 2017) 32:15    Calm Whale - Blue Moon Wind Chimes Meditation (Blue Moon Meditation 2017) 39:30    Altus - Green to Gold (Autumn Breeze 2005) 46:09    Beltone - Autumn (Blind Concert 2017) 50:52    Chinmaya Dunster - Sight Meditation (Meditation Ragas 2014) 57:45    Astropilot & Kaya Project - Wind of Change, Pt. 2 (Wind of Change, Pt. 2 2021) 62:13    Cousin Silas - Lost In Autumn (Blue Ice Beyond 2019) 68:15    Kamal - The Quiet Earth (The Quiet Earth - Dusk 1993) 72:14    Ron Boots - Lingering On (Autumn Moon 2016) 76:28    end

“In terms of research of things that really benefit us and keep us on an even keel, mindfulness research is just off the charts effective.”—  Scott McBeanCreativity can be a lot of things: a way to make money, a way to bring joy… and even a mindfulness practice.Pastor and mental health counsellor Scott McBean treats creativity as a source of positivity and a powerful way to maintain his mental health. His creative practices are little things that bring him joy, such as playing guitar or doing family photography.He also sees creative exercises as opportunities for mindfulness.Scott is a strong believer in the physical and psychological benefits of mindfulness, which is about so much more than just meditation.A few mornings per week, he'll read poetry for 15-20 minutes and then write his own poem. For Scott, this exercise serves as a mindfulness practice.“People often think that that looks like something like centering prayer, or sitting in silence and stillness, or counting your breaths and things like that. Those are mindfulness practices, absolutely, but mindfulness practices are also things that engage other senses, too,” Scott says. “Writing...  being out in nature… taking dedicated time to engage each of your five senses serves the same function as some kind of stereotypical mindfulness practice of sitting in silence somewhere.”Painting, dancing, or even something like washing dishes can be practiced mindfully and creatively.In‌ ‌this‌ ‌episode,‌ ‌you'll discover:‌ ‌How you can transform a surprising number of activities into mindfulness practices  Why the ‘tortured artist' trope exists — and how pain and creativity became linked What makes all the difference when it comes to creating good art v. mediocre artAbout Scott McBeanScott is a pastor and mental health counsellor at Northstar Community, a recovery ministry in Richmond, VA. He enjoys playing guitar, watching movies, and spending time with his wife Brittany and daughter Norah. Highlights:‌ ‌00:28  About Scott McBean01:31  “What is your ritual?”03:03  Mindfulness & writing04:46  Walking meditation & Brother Lawrence06:16  Scott's creative outlets08:30  DADGAD tuning14:06  Tortured life trope & risk-taking17:46  Craftsmanship18:44  Evolving relationship to creativity20:26  Anxiety22:02  What's next?Links:‌ ‌www.northstarcommunity.comhttps://www.facebook.com/scottwmcbeanIG: @scottishthingsscott@northstarcommunity.comSong: https://arundownhouse.bandcamp.com/track/a-passing-thoughtDADGAD: Richard Thompson, Ed Gerhard, Michael Watts, Will Ackerman, Andy McKee, Don Ross, Kaki King, Colin Hay.Special thanks to Emily Milling and the team at The Ultimate Creative and our business manager Erika Macauley.Music for this podcast was recorded with producer Spencer Garn at Diamond Street Studios in Atlanta, Georgia.Learn more at www.hollandcreative.io/ritualConnectwww.hollandcreative.iodaniel@hollandcreative.ioIG: @conversioncopydesign

076: Eugene FriesenGood morning! This is Play It Like It’s Music. I’m Trevor, thanks for listening.On Wednesday, February 24 of 2021 music is not content. It’s connection.I had a crazy performance anxiety dream the other night. In the dream I’m famous enough to get invited to do crazy random things on stage, and they offer me a gig to play Romeo at an outdoor Shakespeare production of Romeo And Juliet. Of course I take it, even though I have no business doing something like that.Meanwhile, also in the dream I’m in the process of buying an old apartment building. So the bulk of the dream is spent visiting the site and going over minutiae like how old the wooden bannisters are and what kind of plumbing needs to be ripped out and what does the landmark commission have to say… I don’t do a single rehearsal for the play.Gig day rolls around and we’re still checking out the property with different real estate agents and managers. I’m riding around in the back of the car - the folks I’m with are completely oblivious to my having taken on a monumental role and they’re just talking about it like I’m going to play songs at a bar or something. Like “that’s so cool that you’re doing this thing tonight”. Meanwhile it dawns on me that I don’t even know a single one of my lines, haven’t even met the cast or the director.They drop me off in front, like half an hour before curtain and I realize that I have to find a sub. No matter what, even though it’s my name on the marquee. I am not gonna be that guy who got dropped right into a Shakespeare play with zero prep. I start looking around and see Willem Dafoe on his way in. We’re not friends in my dream either but he recognizes me and treats me like a friend because it’s like “my big night”. Yeah right.I tell him the situation and offer him the chance to play Romeo at a moments notice. He says thanks, probably not but he might know somebody and starts calling around. I see the real estate agents walking in, start to lose my s**t and…that’s the moment I woke up.Whew.What a fun one! Some ego, some anxiety, a bunch of hubris and the walls all closing in. Maybe it ended well, I don’t know. We’d all like to get bailed out by a superstar at some point in our lives. I’m just so glad it wasn’t real because I do not belong anywhere near a Shakespeare stage.Meanwhile, today on the show:Four-time Grammy Award-winner Eugene Friesen is active internationally as a concert and recording artist, composer, conductor and teacher. Eugene has worked and recorded with such diverse artists as Dave Brubeck, Martin Sexton, Toots Thielemans, Betty Buckley, Dar Williams, Will Ackerman, and Dream Theater.  Eugene's passion for improvised music has been featured in concerts all over the world with the Paul Winter Consort and with Trio Globo (which is Eugene, Howard Levy and Glen Velez). He appeared on "A Prairie Home Companion" playing with superstar soprano Renée Fleming and has performed as a soloist at the International Cello Festival in Manchester, England; the World Cello Congress in Baltimore, Maryland; and the Rio International Cello Encounter in Rio de Janeiro.  He’s a world renowned teacher of new cello techniques and improvisation in the United States, Asia, Europe, Egypt, and South America. Recording credits include five albums of original music, more than 30 CDs with the Paul Winter Consort, and hundreds of tracks featuring his rapturous cello playing on instrumental albums, films, and television scores. Eugene is an artist-in-residence at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City, and on the faculty of the Berklee College of Music in Boston. It’s an honor to have him on the show.Eugene was one of the very first cellists I ever saw on stage when I was a kid, someone who liberated us from the idea that we had to stay in line and only play the notes on a page with pre-prescribed intent and a general lack of flavor or modern relevance. He took his classical education and helped the cello grow into the modern musical landscape. None of us would be anywhere without people like him.

Will Ackerman plays guitar beautifully and has inspired many people with the heart in his music, including his many records and the artists he produced as founder of Windham Hill Records. He listened to music all the time as a youngster, and used to call in to Jim Lange’s show on KGO radio to request songs. He was even interviewed by Lange when he was young and saw the record business. He also knew the members of the Kingston Trio while at Stanford, and learned that, “Music is made by people; it’s not a distant thing. … From a very young age, music was very important to me.” He experienced many amazing coincidences in his life related to music, as he explains in the podcast. A neighbor, Michael Kilmartin, first put a guitar in his hands, and then ended up promoting Will’s first record nationally to radio stations. “There was almost nothing that was intentional,” he says. He found something in open tunings that really resonated with him when playing guitar; they allowed him to remove the intellectual aspects from the process and the only thing he had to work with was emotion and feeling. “It was just pure heart,” he says. Doors flew open for him, and that was also the story with the founding of Windham Hill and the many, many fantastic artists on its records. “I found refuge in listening to music, and I think probably that informed my approach as to how I approached music in myself. … The process for me was utterly subjective. I wasn’t trying to change the world. I wasn’t trying to give the world a gift. I was only trying to be true to the emotion, and some very painful memories or new occurrences. I was somebody who needed deeply, emotionally, to express something that I think words were not capable of doing for me.” He also has felt great solace through nature in his life, which is also sensed in his amazing music.
