The true tale of Charles Byrne, the Irish Giant. (1761–1783)
Charles' "gentle, likeable nature inspired an immense public fondness, and his celebrity life was constantly splashed across the newspapers of the day. Byrne's great height was the result of a then-undiscovered growth disorder.
Byrne was living in London at the same time as the pre-eminent surgeon and anatomist John Hunter. Hunter had a reputation for collecting unusual specimens for his private museum, and Hunter had offered to pay Byrne for his corpse. As Byrne's health deteriorated, and knowing that Hunter wanted his body for dissection (a fate reserved at that time for executed criminals) and probable display, Byrne devised a plan. He made express arrangements with friends that when he died his body would be sealed in a lead coffin and taken to the coastal town of Margate and then to a ship for burial at sea. Byrne's wishes were thwarted and his worst fears realised when Hunter arranged for the cadaver to be snatched on its way to Margate."

SWAN DIVE

A swan dive a swimmer undertakes is like a leap of faith. Similar, in music playing a solo on any instrument, improvised, is like that leap of faith. One tries to jump in with a solid start, a beautiful dive and a clean landing. William Paasche  https://soundcloud.com/snuppeluppen here joining me on synthesizer did just that. We exchange solos on this Jazz Rock original I made, great fun! And hope you’ll jump in with us!

As always I really appreciate all your likes, comments and shares. 
All the best,
-Dan

Swan Dive

Swan Dive | Dan van den Berg featuring William Paasche

Inspired by those celestial visitors that occasionally swing by our neck of the woods.  Updated the cover as to better reflect the tone of the piece.

Harbinger

By my way of thinking, playing the piano is like reading a great book.  One can go anywhere or do anything with no danger to life or limb.  In this little piece I mosey along on horseback with the cool breeze in my hair.  (I've always wanted to be a "horse person" but I don't think it's going to happen now.) This is the next best thing -- and probably safer.

Upside-Down journey to the sky and beyond

🎶〽️🎶

Mezoszféra - a leghidegebb földi szféra, ahol a meteoritok elégnek. A legmisztikusabb szféra, mivel a repülőknek és a meteorológia ballonoknak már túl magas, de a szatelliteknek pedig túl alacsony, így a legkevesebbet tudjuk róla.
A legfelső részén kezdődik az északi fények világa, az ionoszféra.

A fejjel-lefelé utazás az égig és azon túl zenei történetem következő, ötödik száma.

In July the Meierkord family came by to say hello to us. Henrik and I took the opportunity to play something together. Nothing demanding: a sort of 'warm up', which has become a 'session' in my small living room. We mostly used some 'loops' I had on my JamMan, improvising over them, or even more freely. The recordings are quite 'lo-fi', mainly coming from a dictaphone placed in the center of the room, but we believe they are a good testimony of our musical and human entente and of the pleasure of meeting each other in person.

Composer/Producer blending folk melodies with neoclassical vibes, and cinematic verve, my work is a mix of original compositions and contemporary arrangements of traditional tunes.  I hope you enjoy the music!
