83 - THE HYPERSONIC FACTOR

This track is a pre released song of our band The Hypersonic Factor for the upcoming album (release in 2023). Much to our joy and surprise the first album "Inventions of Diffusion" got quite a bit of attention Worldwide on several prog and jazz rock platforms and stations. https://thehypersonicfactor.bandcamp.com/album/inventions-of-diffusion

The second project has been years in the making, first demo's were starting to emerge just before the Pandemic. Well, our work is almost finished on the album with some tracks needing some last parts to record and of course the mixing and mastering right after that. It's a vast body of work, ranging from acoustic pieces to full blown Jazz Rock and Progressive Rock. 

Our band consists of:
Tom Hipskind - drums and percussion https://soundcloud.com/tomhipskind
Jason Rubenstein - piano, synths & keyboards https://soundcloud.com/jasonrubenstein
Mirko Borach - bass (fretted and fretless) https://soundcloud.com/stringburner
Dan van den Berg - guitars (acoustic and electric)


This track was the first to be completed, and initially came from me. The idea behind 83 is quite simple. 1983 was the year I started playing guitar, I was ten years old back then and a big fan of Al DiMeola, Yngwie Malmsteen and Edward Van Halen. I wanted to play loud and fast, like those players. Of course it took me many, many years. The track should sound like it was made in the eighties, the origin for my playing.

I really hope you'll enjoy this pre release that already had some radio time on several prog rock platforms!

All the best! -Dan

Sacred Ground.....
Going ever higher still
Upon the path so faintly seen,
Beholding blazing shades of gold
Amongst the emerald green.
I found the ancient place,
The craggy peaks beneath the snow,
Where the wind will burn your face
And you begin to know......
That the eyes are there upon you,
And the spirits through the trees,
Look around in deepest wonder
As you fall upon your knees.
The souls of those before you
Surround you with their love,
With lessons learned in fields below,
Now in rest so high above.
So I took the ancient wisdom
Down the path where it was found
And used it well in times of need,
From that ancient sacred ground.
-------------------------------------------------
Heiliger Boden.....
Immer höher steigend
Auf dem Pfad, der so schwach zu sehen ist,
Glühende Goldtöne erblickend
Inmitten des Smaragdgrüns.
Ich fand den alten Ort,
Die zerklüfteten Gipfel unter dem Schnee,
Wo der Wind dein Gesicht verbrennt
Und du beginnst zu wissen......
Dass die Augen dort auf dich gerichtet sind,
Und die Geister durch die Bäume,
Schau dich um in tiefstem Erstaunen
Während du auf deine Knie fällst.
Die Seelen derer, die vor dir waren
Umgeben dich mit ihrer Liebe,
Mit Lektionen, die du auf den Feldern unten gelernt hast,
Jetzt in der Ruhe so hoch oben.
So nahm ich die alte Weisheit
Auf den Pfad, wo sie gefunden wurde
Und nutzte sie in Zeiten der Not,
von diesem alten heiligen Boden.

Mystic Whispers (feat. AMY WALLACE)

New Album out now! https://danielvandenberg.bandcamp.com/album/short-tales-for-three-guitars

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.
