Dave Eichenberger signature fused glass necklaces by Purple Cloud Studio

Dave Eichenberger has been exploring the sounds of the guitar and multi-track recording for over 29 years. With a background in music composition and influences ranging from Black Sabbath to Beethoven, Dave has developed a style of playing that is uniquely his. Years of arranging, producing and recording provide this versatile artist with a broad spectrum of knowledge that allows this artist the ability to work with a wide range of professionals of all levels.

One of the facets that sets Dave apart 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. This method of layering sound textures also finds its way into the recording process. Regardless of the genre, Dave manages to weave complex textures of sound into rich audio tapestries that intrigue listeners and spark the imagination.

"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's solo live performances utilize either electric guitar and guitar synthesizer or acoustic steel string guitar with each creating completely unique listening experiences for audiences.

Guitar synthesizer uses a specialized 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 refers to as contemporary chamber music. Sounding like a cross between a harpsichord and a harp, it lies outside the traditional definitions of classical music and jazz.

Dave performs solo, in the improvisational fusion band, Fools Folly and as lead guitarist for national recording artist Julie Black. Besides performing and recording, Dave maintains a roster of students, he chaired the Cultural Affairs Advisory Committee of New Port Richey in 2005-2006 and continues to plan and promote art events in the city of New Port Richey.
