Fountainhead is the alter-ego of guitar player / composer / producer Tom Geldschläger. Currently operating from his studio in Berlin, Germany, «the Steve Vai of the new millenium» has appeared on dozens of records as a guitar player, producer & mixing-engineer.
Heґs recorded and toured with artists like Ray Riendeau, Marco Minnemann, Jimmy Pitts, Xell, Hannes Grossmann, Vishal Singh, Christian Münzner and Nader Sadek, has been featured in various music-magazines around the globe (most recently «Guitar Plus» and «Guitar World»), was the lead-guitarist for internationally-acclaimed technical death-metal band Obscuraґs «Akroasis» album (to which he also contributed the 15-minute epic «Weltseele») and is a member of eclectic instrumental prog-fusion quartet «Pitts/Minnemann Project». In both bands he used fretless guitars predominantly, making him the figurehead of this otherwise rarely used breed of guitar to a new generation of guitar and metal fans — a «modern day guitar legend» indeed.
He is currently endorsed by Steinberg Software, Loxx Products, Engl Amplification, Soultool Guitars and GoodTone Pickups, from which «Fountainhead signature» guitar models and pick-ups are available.
His solo releases «Fear Is The Enemy» and «Reverse Engineering» (feat. legendary players such as Derek Roddy, Ray Riendeau and more…) received rave reviews and secured him a dedicated following in just a few short years.
