Fountainhead is the alter-ego of guitar player / composer / producer Tom Geldschläger. Operating from his studio in Berlin, Germany, Tom has appeared on countless records as a guitar-player, arranger, music-producer, mixing-engineer and more.

With his first headlining-tour of india in the books, 2024 will see the release Fountainhead’s biggest project yet: 'Changeling', a 60-minute concept-album tour-de-force of progressive and extreme music featuring over 50 different musicians and the fullest realization of everything that makes Tom a standout in the current music-scene. He also has 2 books about music, creativity and the psychology behind playing music under his belt and has established himself as sought-after mixing-and-mastering engineer with clients all over the world as well as a in-demand teacher and coach to musicians seeking to improve their creative expression and skill.
