Dave
Eichenberger has been exploring the sounds of the guitar for over 27
years. One of the things that makes Dave unique as a live performer
is that he augments his sound with real-time looping. Looping is digitally
recording sound as it is played, and either playing on top of, or adding
to the loop. This is done all in real-time, and all live. Currently
he performs solo, in the the original rock band Hazard
Factor, and in the improvisational fusion band, Fools
Folly.
"While I love writing and recording,
the real fun begins when I perform with no idea of what
I am about to play,"
says Dave, "This way neither the audience nor I have
any expectations. It is always new for both parties." |

| Dave
performs live on either electric guitar and guitar synthesizer or
acoustic steel string guitar, creating completely unique styles with
each. Guitar synthesizer uses a special guitar to trigger a synthesizer,
making sounds come out of the guitar that were previously available
only to keyboardists. His advancement and control of these sounds
make it hard to believe they all come from one person.
Combining looping with acoustic guitar makes a sound Dave calls contemporary
chamber music. Sounding like a cross between a harpsichord and a harp,
it lies outside the traditional definitions of classical music and
jazz. Besides performing and recording, Dave maintains a roster of guitar students. He chaired the Cultural Affairs Advisory Committee in New Port Richey in 2005-2006. and still has time to plan and promote art events in the city of New Port Richey.
