Sinopsis

Using the theme of musical instruments as a conducting thread, Gerard Bassols takes us on a journey through the history of progressive rock and shares with us a multitude of anecdotes and curiosities, both of the instruments themselves and of the bands and musicians of the genre, and of the music they have left us for posterity. From the birth of the Mellotron in 1962 to the most recent keyboard instruments, from the beginnings of solid-body guitars to carbon-fibre ones, passing through drums and percussions, harps, saxes and sound effects, Bassols makes an exhaustive review of all the musical instruments of the modern history of rock music, and especially of those profusely used by the most legendary progressive rock bands like King Crimson, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Yes, Genesis, Rush, Pink Floyd, Dream Theater and many more. With more than 500 photographs and illustrations, this is a unique work of its kind, without a doubt the most comprehensive treatise ever published about rock musical instruments. Bassols achieves a perfect balance by deepening on the topics he touches, but always in an accessible language, so this book will undoubtedly be liked by both professional and amateur musicians, as well as rock music enthusiasts, without having to have any previous knowledge of music theory or technology.

Acerca del autor

Gerard Bassols Autor

Gerard Bassols is a multi-instrumentalist amateur musician (he plays guitar, bass, keyboards, drums and percussions) and a passionate progressive rock fan, from its beginnings in the late-1960s to the latest bands. He has been listening to and collecting albums of this musical genre for 45 years, has attended countless concerts, and also has considerable literature on the subject. Aware of his extensive knowledge about the musical instruments featured in his favourite music, and that there was no literature that dealt with this topic explicitly, he got to work to put his knowledge down into the written word and pictures. What started as a hobby for a progressive rock music blog went on growing to the book you are now holding in your hands.
