Thanks to everyone who tuned into the Bandcamp Live set this weekend! All of the songs in that set were reworked solo guitar and sampler versions of my new album Today’s Traces. It’s out now, featuring warped, atmospheric guitars and lush analog synths sunwarper.bandcamp.com/album/todays...

To celebrate the release of the new album, Today's Traces, join me in a little under an hour for a special Bandcamp live performance built entirely on a sampler and guitar. sunwarper.bandcamp.com/merch/fading...

New album, Today's Traces, Out Now! Today’s Traces is a meditation on memory, impermanence, and emotional residue. An ambient journey shaped in the quiet spaces between life’s bigger moments. sunwarper.bandcamp.com/album/todays...

This week’s been all about revisiting old workflows. With all the new gear announcements lately, I decided to take a step back and reconnect with a few instruments that had been sitting unused in the studio. There’s something special about returning to the instruments that helped shape your sound.

Happy Bandcamp Friday! There are just a few Future Fade CDs and Through the Quiet Dark cassettes left before the merch store is sold out… for now Thanks so much for supporting my music and keeping this journey going 🌌 sunwarper.bandcamp.com/album/future...

A lot of new music production gear was announced this week And while the marketing always promises better, faster beats, I’ve been reminded how much you can get out of simply iterating with what you already have. Here are some thoughts on making the most of gear: www.sunwarper.com/post/gear-ac...

As I put the finishing touches on my next album, I’ve been looking back at the records that got me here. Each album feels like a snapshot of a moment in time: who I was, where I was, and what I was experiencing. Read below to join me in some reflections from each album

A Sampler and a Groovebox Are All You Need to Make Beats | SP404 MK2 + SEQTRAK youtu.be/f1Chz4g3gwI

Making a beat in just 10 minutes on Koala Sampler The pressure was real, but there’s a strange sense of finality in accepting whatever you create in that time is the song. youtu.be/2ug-pvu6fCY

Sample chopping is one of the most powerful ways to flip sounds into something completely new. By slicing sounds into small fragments, the SP404 mk2 opens up insane possibilities for beatmaking. youtu.be/8hvIoDqF8QQ

The Roland P6 came out of nowhere last year. The pocket size sampler packs a ton into its compact form factor. Here’s 6 tips to make the most of it

What’s your favorite SP404 MK2 effect? For me, It would have to be Cassette Sim or Ko-Da-Ma... they both work so well for glueing melodic sounds together. I just dropped a new post on making the most out of the SP FX and my go-to signal chain. Check it out here: www.sunwarper.com/post/sp404-m...

Revisiting the Original Digitakt Workflow in the Age of Digitakt II www.sunwarper.com/post/the-ori...

It’s been 5 years since my debut album Idolon dropped. To celebrate, CDs and digital are just $5 today only. Something really special is coming soon… 👀 sunwarper.bandcamp.com/album/idolon

Some of the samplers I’ve been using for the next few videos

The Yamaha SEQTRAK surprised me with just how much it can do... but with great power comes a pretty steep learning curve. Here are 5 things I wish I knew before using it: www.sunwarper.com/post/5-thing...

The tracker workflow is nothing like what I’m used to, but it’s absolutely fascinating and really fun to experiment with. Here’s a little late night jam.

A Sampler and Some Records Are All You Need to Make Beats // Roland P-6 Beatmaking youtu.be/TJMlnmirrnE

10 years today since this (my first real EP). Back when I was still making wobbly hauntology, recording on old cassette tapes with an MPC and Roland SH101: faexoptim.bandcamp.com/album/mercury

Sampling essentials

Every sampler I’ve owned has something great and something frustrating. Here’s how I’d rank them all in 2025 youtu.be/n9bOS9GUP6Y

When chopping samples, matching BPM isn’t always the best method. Chopping, pitching, & embracing timing imperfections can bring out natural groove and swing you just can’t get from quantizing. I just dropped a blog post breaking down this approach: www.sunwarper.com/post/samplin...

Tonight's show.

Late night ambient jamming 🌘 Finding time to just sit and play guitar has been rare lately, but I’ve decided to change that. Once a week, I’m hitting record and capturing 5–10 minutes of pure improvisation with guitars, keys, and whatever else is within reach. Here’s the first in this new series

This week's ADSN is an artist spotlight for @frequencycontrol.bsky.social With the release of his new LP 'The 1988 Anomaly' on our label, we're peeking behind the veil and finding out how this album was made. If you've got questions for Paul, drop a comment! youtube.com/live/dZ7WkwN...

New album alert! The 1988 Anomaly is out on Bandcamp today on @audionautic.bsky.social and all your favourite streaming platforms very soon. frequencycontrolcentre.bandcamp.com/album/the-19... #newmusic #music

I spent the last three years building my DAWless setup into a powerful but complex rig. Now, as a busy parent, I’ve decided to simplify, paring it down to just a few key pieces of gear. Here’s what I kept, and why. youtu.be/8QN8SuzzebA

This Logic Update Solved My Biggest SP404 MK2 Problem youtu.be/XuSo_esZp0g

Turning a coconut into a beat Just dropped a new sample pack, Coastal Cuts, made from treated field recordings I captured in Hawaii. Now on Bandcamp: soundsbysunwarper.bandcamp.com/album/coasta...

Logic's back on the radar with a big update that includes a trove of goodies. Enhanced Stem Separation, Flashback Capture, and so much more. We're running through new features and seeing whats up. @eonlake.bsky.social @sunwarper.bsky.social @kh3rtis.bsky.social h3 youtube.com/live/ini4OsW...

Finally checking out the Polyend Synth update and the new synth engine looks promising! Would you like to see a deep dive into the sample based DWA synth? youtube.com/shorts/qxJad...

I Took Koala Sampler to the Beach… Here’s What Happened youtu.be/CGgW91f9Hgg

The SEQTRAK can’t sample flip… but I did it anyway, with a little help from Koala Sampler. Here’s my workaround for the lack of sample chopping while still using its powerful sequencer: youtu.be/Da9yV9U8rVw

I have a new release out today called “All the Colors Are Gone.” It’s a long-form drone track in which I opine over the gradual creep of colorless environments, devoid of any fun, subsumed by beiges and taupes. It’s up on my bandcamp and the streamers. larshaur.bandcamp.com/track/all-th...

New gear day! The SEQTRAK packs way more into this tiny groovebox than I expected. Here are my first impressions youtu.be/Vcqc5FtN3RU

Our friends over at BLEASS were kind enough to alert us to their new delay plugin 'Tides'. there are many delays in this world, so we're asking 'why this one?' Join us from 7pm UTC to find out ;) youtube.com/live/eszqYMW...

Been jamming with the Roland S-1 & P-6 combo. Sampling some SH-101 style vibes into the p-6 with that lofi sample rate is a sound design dream! Full workflow here: youtu.be/7S-lzBo6IEI?...

I've been working on a live set for my new album, built entirely from dawless jams I made on YouTube over the past year. While I love exploring new gear, I always come back to the SP404 MK2 for live performances. Here’s how it’s coming together: youtu.be/Tw8zggYkevA

One of my goals for 2025 is to rely less on algorithms and more on direct ways to share what I’m creating. Setting up a mailing list is my first step in making that happen and my first monthly newsletter drops tomorrow! Join below & get a free sample pack www.sunwarper.com/mailinglist

Hard to believe it’s been 5 years since Sunkissed released. This EP ended up being a gateway to my dawless workflows and YouTube videos. All that time in 2020 to experiment with gear and get lost in the sound has shaped my approach from then on sunwarper.bandcamp.com/album/sunkis...

I’m brimming with excitement to be playing in London again as part of this great lineup. Tickets are very reasonably priced so why not join us! www.skiddle.com/whats-on/Lon...
