艺术家简介:
         William Ackerman应该是属于新世纪吉他的鼻祖级人物了，在newage界响当当的Windham Hill唱片公司就是由他创立，作为音乐界的最高荣誉，他也曾以吉他艺术家身份获得过Grammy大奖。（以下内容太多，我就不翻译了，略懂e文的都能看懂吧^_^）

William Ackerman was born in West Germany but was adopted by a couple who lived in Palo Alto, California. A self-professed poet and musician who briefly studied guitar with Robbie Basho, Ackerman grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. He attended the Northfield Mount Hermon School and Stanford University. Before finishing his studies at Stanford, Ackerman dropped out to become a carpenter. Ackerman had composed some pieces of music for a performance of Romeo and Juliet at Stanford. In 1975, without having played a "paying gig"Initially William Ackerman kept up his job as a builder but recording music took up more of his time until he was working on music full time. Ackerman ran his music label (Windham Hill Records) for years. He did just about everything from picking cover art to producing the records. Early albums featured himself ([I]It Takes a Year[/I]) and his cousin, fellow guitarist Alex de Grassi [I]Turning: Turning Back[/I] 1978. Although in later years critics would single out Ackerman's records (especially [I]Childhood and Memory[/I]) and De Grassi's first record, the album that gained Windham Hill Records notice was the 1980 recording by George Winston [I]Autumn[/I]. This record was well reviewed in Rolling Stone Magazine and, as a result of this national exposure the record began selling in large numbers. For many years it was the best selling album in the Windham Hill Catalog.Ackerman found that life as a record label executive was, in his own words, "making him crazy." His marriage ended in divorce and he eventually moved out of the Bay Area and across the country back to his old residence near Brattleboro, Vermont in Windham County. In 1992 he sold half of his stake in Windham Hill Records to BMG and stopped recording and producing. Life in Vermont away from the record business proved enjoyable and so Ackerman sold the remainder of his stake in Windham Hill Records in 1996. He currently lives in Brattleboro and produces music from his nearby studio Imaginary Road.William Ackerman's musical influences are Erik Satie, John Fahey, Robbie Basho, and Leo Kottke. William Ackerman has told an anecdote about his musical debt to John Fahey. One of his early pieces of music sounded a great deal like a Fahey composition titled [I]The Last Steam Engine Train[/I] and so he visited Fahey, asked him if he thought the music was too similar, and played him the tune. Fahey said "You can have it!". The tune in question is [I]The Rediscovery of Big Bug Creek, Arizona[/I] (from [I]It Takes a Year[/I]).On guitar tunings, William Ackerman has said that none of his songs use the standard guitar tuning.[[I]citation needed[/I]] For example his song Processional has the D string tuned up to an E, and the high E string tuned down to a C with a capo on the 5th fret. He also says that only two songs share the same tuning (at least as of 2000). Ackerman's love of non-standard tunings (coupled with the use of a capo) allows him to play melodies where many of the notes can be played without fretting them allowing the strings to "ring free". He shared his love of non-standard tunings with Michael Hedges.Since selling his share of Windham Hill, Ackerman has released four new albums, [I]Sound of Wind Driven Rain'[/I] 1998, [I]Hearing Voices[/I] 2001 (both were nominated for a Grammy), an albumn re-working some great signature songs - [I]Returning[/I] 2004 (which won a Grammy award), and [I]PURE[/I] 2006, again with some previous materials, but with some new work as well.In addition to [I]discovering[/I] George Winston, William Ackerman's other great discovery was Michael Hedges. Ackerman has often told the story of how he heard Hedges performing in a Palo Alto cafe and immediately wrote a recording contract for him on a paper napkin. Hedges and Ackerman performed concerts together for several years in the early 1980s and played together on one of William Ackerman's albums. Some other notable artists he produced: Liz Story and Shadowfax. He has recorded many artists in his personal recording studio, Imaginary Road Studios in Vermont. An airlock door at the studios bears the names of at least 84 artists that have recorded in the studio, including but not limited to, Michael Manring, Philip Aaberg, Tom "T-Bone" Wolk, Michael Hedges, Preston Reed, Eugene Friesen, Happy Rhodes, Samite, Tom Bodett, Jeff Pearce, Jeff Oster, Dana Cunningham, Zade Dirani, Martin Sexton and Karen Hesse.Of late, William Ackerman focuses on producing other musicians and performing in select, few concerts. On June 1 and 2, 2007, at Bruce Willis's theater, The Liberty Theatre in Hailey, Idaho, Ackerman joined Jeff Pearce, Jeff Oster and Patrick Gorman for debut concerts showcasing some of the wide variety of musical styles he works with.
