This book represents nothing less than the magnum opus of a jazz-rock master of synthesizer technique. Creative Synthesizer Technique is a unique addition to the Mel Bay keyboard bookshelf both for its content and writing style. Holzman begins with an overview of the building blocks of sound as found on most synthesizers and then through a series of hands-on ???Try This??? projects shows you how to use those blocks creatively. Each phase of synthesis is illustrated by a series of 43 downloadable audio tracks. Throughout the author integrates synthesizer techniques with genuine musical ideas providing images of his professional stage setup as well as a minimal equipment layout for home hobbyists. Additional information is shared in the author???s notes footnotes and a generous glossary. His ???Additional Thoughts on Performance??? are filled with helpful suggestions for better soloing. Holzman has toured extensively with trumpet legend Miles Davis and British rocker Steven Wilson: he brings his 35 years of performance and synthesizer knowledge to bear in this outstanding book. Includes access to online audio.
