Here's a sneak peak at our new album with the second song on there called SALOME'S DANCE!

After seven years since the release of our debut album, The Hypersonic Factor are grateful to share "Benevolent Beasts," a collection of tracks that reflects both our development as a band and the experiences that have shaped us along the way.

The journey to this album has not been without its challenges. We open with "Groove for Danny," a tribute to our late and original drummer, Danny Handler, in his memory we have made this track, honoring his incredible spirit and influence. Rest in Peace, Danny…

Throughout this album, we draw from a range of inspirations, some of which stemmed from the unusual times we all navigated during the COVID pandemic, happening right at the start of writing the album. "Proximity Dance" , for example, emerged playfully, reflecting the strange dynamics of distance and connection that defined our lives during that period.

Musically, "Benevolent Beasts" explores the many facets of fusion and progressive rock. With some acoustic pieces woven in and funk grooves threading through the sound, we aim to create a varied listening experience. Each original member contributed their unique style and compositions: the melodic and catchy riffs from our bassist Mirko Borach, Dan van den Berg’s eclectic electric and acoustic guitar work, and the warm, rich rhythms provided by our new drummer, Tom Hipskind, all converge into a collective sound that feels organic and inviting. Jason Rubenstein, our keyboardist, composer, arranger and producer has, next to his very diverse playing, skillfully guided the whole process, ensuring that the diverse ideas we brought to the table found a cohesive home.

We’re pleased to feature guest keyboardist William Paasche on "The Simurgh." His contributions add an intensity to the track that we appreciate deeply.

"Benevolent Beasts" is a culmination of years of collaboration, creativity, and reflection. We hope to offer something that resonates with all who enjoy instrumental fusion and progressive rock, inviting listeners into our world while echoing the journey we've taken together.

Thank you for taking the time to explore our music. We hope it brings you joy and connection in its own unique way.

With gratitude and passion,

The Hypersonic Factor

Beyond The Spiral Arm

A continuation of the ping-pong collaboration with @daniel-diaz. I wanted to lean into the new wave vibe, so I wrote this little electric guitar part and added it to the mix.

Dear friends, I am hopelessly in love with swans! But - if I try to hug them, they bite me in the ass!!
These two swans: Daddy - and Mom-swan were busy building a new home in the stream in Simrishamn some days ago!


Busy Times for Swans

I saw them as they found the place where they can build their home
the home is right in the middle of the stream
the lady took the command 
while her dear husband sailed away
and the sound from their wings blowed my soul away

I have heard that swans are faithful to each other during their whole life
they always help each other with all their kids
they put them to bed when the sun 
suddenly goes to rest
and the sound from their wings blowed my soul away

The lady worked so hard with sticks and straws to finish their home
she is so careful that the bed is nice and soft
I suppose that the man supplies with food and all work
can progress with speed
and the sound from their wings blowed my soul away

We will follow this cool and diligent team how they proceed in building their home
and when their kids have been born to our world
all people in this town will come to see 
this happy family of swans
and the sound from their wings blowed my soul away


Häktiska tider för svanor
Jag såg dem när de hittade platsen där de kunde bygga sitt hem
Huset ligger mitt i bäcken
Damen tog kommandot
medan hennes käre make seglade iväg
och ljudet från deras vingar blåser bort min själ

Jag har hört att svanar är trogna varandra hela livet
De hjälper alltid varandra med alla sina barn
De lägger dem i säng när solen
plötsligt går ner
och ljudet från deras vingar blåser bort min själ

Damen arbetade så hårt med pinnar och sugrör för att färdigställa deras hus
Hon är så noga med att sängen är fin och mjuk
Jag antar att mannen som förser dem med mat och allt arbete
kan gå framåt snabbt
och ljudet från deras vingar blåser bort min själ

Vi kommer att följa detta coola och flitiga team hur de fortsätter med att bygga sitt hem
och när deras barn har fötts till vår värld
kommer alla människor i den här staden att komma för att se
denna lyckliga svanfamilj
och ljudet från deras vingar blåser bort min själ

Cruisin’ features Ronny Smith not only playing guitar, but keyboards, bass, and programming as well. He utilizes other musicians on various selections and the result is a diverse but unified set of memorable melodies that serve as a perfect setting for his warm guitar. The program begins with the title track/new radio single “Cruisin’”, which has Smith’s catchy single lines and octaves on the guitar, riffing horns, and an upbeat groove.

This site is for my musical avatar or alter ego. Architect/partner/company owner by day, I find myself playing guitar and writing these tracks in afterhours, at nights, evenings, when in need of a dose of guitar sounds. You will find a wide range of guitar oriented music, ranging from Jazz to Blues, Flamenco to Classical, Rock to Fusion. And many collaborations with some great musicians.

I have been playing guitar since I was 11 years old, largely self-taught and have tried different styles and instruments: Renaissance lute, flamenco guitar, classical guitar, steel string guitar and electric guitar with which I have been playing in styles ranging from rock and metal in my early years to classical music, some American Folk music, jazz rock, prog rock, flamenco nuevo and fusion.

It’s been a splendid time here so far, in collaborating with a lot of brilliant musicians on SoundCloud and sharing ideas and the passion for music. 
My collaborations are with musicians that I have a deep respect for and have a mutual appreciation for real instruments, and musical styles that focus on letting the instruments “shine”. 

Here is some technical data:
Currently I am using Amplitube and Auria on an iPad as DAW with Final Touch for mastering. For acoustic recording I use an Apogee microphone.

Guitars are:
Fender AMERICAN ELITE STRATOCASTER® HSS SHAWBUCKER, 2016
Fender Stratocaster Squire (first edition: JV-series)
Ibanez JS100, Joe Satriani model
Evh Frankie Striped MN Relic R/W/B

EVH 5150 Series Standard Stealth Black EB guitar
Fender American Professional II Stratocaster HSS Olympic White RW
Charvel Pro-Mod DK24 HSH 2PT CM Mahogany Natural
Paulino Bernabe, Taller de Guitarras, Model-50, 2001, classical concert guitar
Marín, Modelo Estudio /9 Calidad, 1997, Malaga, Spain, flamenco guitar
Joan Cashimira, modelo 145, spruce top w/ cocobolo sides and back, Gata de Gorgos (Alicante), 2015

I hope you will enjoy my music.
