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.

"Those of us who attend Eichenberger's performances have grown to love his smooth, free-form layers of looping sound and appreciate his jazz improvisations and baroque and modern classical compositions. There's nothing to compare. Really." -The St. Pete Times "…guitar-heavy tunes that ebb and flow nicely while showing off Eichenberger's deft balance of technique and restraint. ****" -Weekly Planet " Dave Eichenberger's loops and drones offer ethereal and spiritual tones that are as delicate as they are majestic" - Focus Music Magazine |
