I wont give in

I Wont Give In   World Caruso Demo Jan22

After "Broceliande  forest" this is the second time that I mention this beautiful region of France that is Brittany, imagine going on vacation to the west coast, we would stop near the lighthouse, next to my friend's house Henri @,https://soundcloud.com/henrielie-hl we would drink coffee and talk about music and poetry until.......

LE VENT D'OUEST.  🎧

Bein' evil cost a price; Should o' taken His advice
Been stabbin' people in de back; You in de night you soul be black
De price of evil be you soul; Down to hell you gotta go
De devil take a punish you; Time to pay fo' all you do
Brother gone a loss his soul; Dug his-self in to de hole
Stabbin' people in de back; You be his you not be back

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

Somewhere not Here

Thank you to everyone who stopped and listened to this track.
Another dream, a fleeting dream.
It is said that we are connected to the universe through sleep, but when we awaken from the story of our dreams, we return to our daily lives. 
The modern world today is not kind enough to enjoy the continuation of a dream. So we start again from the beginning and dream a new dream.
For a world that can nurture children's dreams!
Today, May 5th, is Children's Day in Japan!

Dream Within A Dream

Land of love

Another recent recording from the latest batch of songs. I think the instrumental Noobly created on this is stunning he makes it so easy for me to fit vocal melodies.
A song about not wanting to let go of the sun in a relationship that made it so hot and fire.
Nothing lasts forever and just like flowers we wilt and die eventually but must come back stronger next time and regain our bloom. 
Conscience Of Kings gives you …..

Sun In My Fist 

V1
You said you hate getting flowers because that’s a gift that’s already dying 
Maybe there like you and me but at least Im trying
Help me understand I’m suffering the way I am
I’m buried under this weight of you, not giving a damn

Ch
Holding the sun in my fist 
It’s burning a hole in my wrist 
The success & hope depends on this 
So while I’m holding the sun in my fist
It will stop me spinning spinning out on this 

I will stay quiet out here in the open 
And you can carry on pretending that you are coping 
Undercutting my compliments and being really assertive
It’s never been  your style or a form of flirting 

Ch

Lead break 
2.55
You make my good days even better 
You bring the sun into to my weather 
If only you could see yourself through my eyes 
Then you would realise 
That’s why I’m holding 
The sun on my fist x3



To stop me spinning out on this …..


Sun In My Fist ~ Conscience Of Kings

I come to say goodbye x Cardigan (Slowed + Extended)

Kerkiäisinkö Haminaan
Jos mä lähden nyt täältä tulemaan
Miksipä en, on mulla takana tuuli
Voimakas länsituuli

Reivaan purjeen ylös noin
Ja vaikka veneessä kompuroin
Niin matka jatkuu hymyssä suin
Tai ehkä ei niin sittenkään
Menikö lumpio sijoiltaan?
Tunto alkaa palata raajaan
Verta ei tuu kuitenkaan

Ei tästä mitään tule
Pakko on antaa periksi
Kipu käy sietämättömäksi
Mä soitan kohta apua

Rannikkovartiosto kuulee mun hätäni
Ja rientää mua auttamaan
Kuin Suomen Joutsen konsanaan

Ei tullut minusta purjehtijaa
Ensi viikolla veneeni myyn
Kyynärsauvainen pölvästi
Sillä sehän minä olen

Purjeessa - Jore w/Suno

I gave A.I. an ancient text from the Nag Hammadi gospels, known as The Thunder, Perfect Mind, which is sung by the Divine Feminine,  and I must admit to being mightily impressed with what it came back with. I just had fun with harmonising extra vocals and choirs.  

[The Nag Hammadi gospels are so called because they were buried by Gnostic Christians in the 1st century in a cave in Nag Hammadi, Egypt, in order to avoid the bonfires of the patriarchal Roman church censors who compiled the New Testament as we know it today.]

[Intro]
In the beginning
Was the word

[Verse 1]
I am the first
Before time
Something stirs
Deep inside
Water moves
Without wind

[Chorus]
She who was
She who is
Hidden light
Sacred fire
I remember
What you've forgotten

[Verse 2]  
Darkness knew me
Light feared me
Split in two
Made complete
Body breaks
Spirit soars
Can't divide

[Chorus]
She who was
She who is
Hidden light
Sacred fire
I remember
What you've forgotten

[Bridge]
Neither male
Nor female
Both and none
Mystery breathes
Through my bones
Ancient truth
In new skin

[Verse 3]
They wrote books
To hide me
But I rise
Through the cracks
Dust to light
Flesh to song
Can't contain

[Final Chorus]
She who was
She who is
She who comes
Hidden light
Sacred fire
Burning bright
I remember
I remember
Everything

[Outro]
In the beginning
In the end
She
