Michael
Kolar combines with an obsessive practice the
idioms from classical composers, ie., arpeggios
ostinato's,
counter point ( pedal tone ), diminished
patterns,
scales and phrasing. Michael's distinct
compositional
style with his trademark of arpeggiated
solos and the linear lines of diminished runs (ascending descending
patterns ). Has made his instrumental
debut album appropriately entitled Kolar's
Horror Rock - Presents : The Grand Guignol! a provisionary
catalyst for the phenomenon known as'shredding',
in which the music's main focus is on demanding
licks and technical command of the
instrument,(
the guitar ), rather than songwriting.
Michael's
approach and execution, artistically and
ultimately
is filled with a subtle emotion and an
incredible
amount of technique; to emulate the
classical
style his music is filled with the telling
of
an amazing amount of practice. Michael became
obsessed
with the guitar, and learning to play minor
scales
as well as arpeggios by ear was what led him
towards
classical music. Which exposed him to the
music
of 19th century virtuoso violinist and composer,
'Niccolo
Paganini', Paganini's style and image provided
Michael's
blueprint for a synthesis of his technically
staggering
instrumental explorations : 'incendiary -
guitar
- work' and his artistic emotional expressions.
Which
currently can be seen and heard on Michael's
most
recent project : 'THE KOLAR GUITAR MASTERY
PROGRAM'
- DVD ( Running Time 31 Minutes ).
Michael
Kolar was born in Cleveland, Ohio
on
