Incredible tight speed picking...and fluidity.

Welcome to SoundCloud Tom!  Love your drumming on this already fantastic piece

Always some brilliant gem to discover in your profile

This is exquisite! Reminiscent of my favourite album "Sky 2"

Now here's an electric part II of Veils in the Serpent Wind, featuring the extra-ordinaire, brilliant keyboards player and composer Jason Rubenstein soundcloud.com/jasonrubenstein AND Mirko Borach again. 
Jason worked throughout the track on several instruments, ranging from Moogs, Synths and piano, did the co-production, and mixing and mastering. 
Mirko added his warm singing fretless bass tone again and some super virtuoso bass playing.
And! Very special guest here is a great drummer I have gotten to know though Jason's invite here: Tom Hipskind. Do check out his great drumming and versatility.

Eleven months ago I released this track called "Veils in the Serpent Wind", which features the great bass player Mirko Borach, aka Stringburner soundcloud.com/stringburner, who joined on an experimental fusion track hinting on Salome's seductive Dance. An acoustic version: https://soundcloud.com/danarchx/veils-in-the-serpent-wind. Now this has turned into a pair and a little "suite". In musical appreciation and upbringing I am a seventies guy. I love epic music and thinking up these long tracks in different modes, movements and parts. 

It is indeed my great joy and pleasure to release this exiting, wild and unusual piece of music, that brings a whole new light to the material of "Veils in the Serpent Wind". This is part II.

We hope you will enjoy our journey into a new territory for this track and as always appreciate your comments, likes and shares.

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.
