To the left is a picture of our fearless leader, the "Guitarpro", our great President, the CEO of The Rowland Corporation. Guitarist, composer, arranger, producer, handsome, suave, established, admired by all, a fearless and modest fighter for world freedom and justice, he is pictured here with one of his many "weapons", an Ibanez electric guitar. (he also made us write this! - ed. note) Rowland has been composing and playing music since he was a child, and if you would like to learn more about him and the process he used to compose and perform on "Symphony for Guitar" and "Deja Vu", click here. If you would like to see the kind of car "The Boss" drives around in, (at least in his dreams! - ed. note) click here. |
Our CD, "Symphony for Guitar": Two years in the making, "Symphony for Guitar" is a very diverse collection of guitar styles and sounds, ideal for the guitar lover. Its obvious musical roots are Classical, "Pop", Blues, and Rock, but all other popular genres are represented, from Celtic to "Neuvo- Flamenco", from Country to New Age. Sixteen original compositions are presented with over 72 minutes of great guitar music! |

Our latest CD release is actually a two CD compilation. The first CD presents compositions primarily arranged for the nylon string guitar with the music fairly relaxing and "laid back". The second CD emphasizes the electric guitar and many of the pieces are... shall we say, somewhat "aggressive"? Twenty-six pieces are presented, with well over two hours of great listening! |

The diversity of the music presented in our two releases, and the fact that they are instrumental, make them ideal to play in the background while working on a computer! But here are some other reported uses: (no kidding about this!! - ed. note) |
