As a teenager, I took harp lessons and realized that I found the perfect instrument for me. I started a pop band at age 11 and then took classical piano lessons. My earliest musical experiences were taking guitar and accordion lessons at age 5 and taking up more instruments in elementary school. My parents always encouraged me toward music. What were your earliest musical experiences?
To commemorate this milestone I spoke to the company’s founder, Gary Garritan, about his roots, some highlights of the last twenty years, and his reaction to the recently released Garritan Anthology. While twenty years at any pursuit is a remarkable accomplishment, in the world of music software it represents several lifetimes. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the release of the first Garritan virtual instrument library.
