Tonight in Santa Cruz I’ll be exploring what MachineDrum can do to baritone guitar and a pedalboard. #ambient #machinedrum #synthesizer #drummachine #baritoneguitar

Two days at Tiny Telephone Oakland. A birthday gift to myself. Rehearsed drums for eight weeks in preparation. My second and third live tracking days of the album were a success in every conceivable way. A beautiful, healing, intense, exhausting, and incredible experience where so much came together. Grateful to be alive and have the opportunity to do this. A big thank you to @beaunoise , @brianklum , and @tiny.telephone and of course @ellenzazz for holding things down while I chased this 14 year old dream. Closer and closer. #newartist #thebeiarea #warrenlain #warrenmusic #synthesizer #machinedrum #moogmatriach #musicproducer #originalmusic #prophet08 #fendervibrolux #telecaster #dodcarcosa #pedalboard #reamping #musicproduction #strymondig #ludwig #rogersdrums #vicfirth #zildjian #fujix100v

Catch me playing live if you’re in Santa Cruz this Thursday! I’ll be performing for the first time at EMOM. #electronicmusic #baritoneguitar #thebeiarea #machinedrum #warrenlain This clip is from my first time debuting this setup at South Bay Sonic Circuits on April 11th. You can enjoy the awesome video c/o Steve Cooley now on YouTube: https://youtu.be/zSJQG7oxN3s?si=s1GCcECU_YbZIEsL

If you're in the South Bay this weekend, come see me test out some new stuff on a mega ultra #pedalboard and #MachineDrum setup... I may need some luck to pull it off šŸ˜…

Trying out new techniques and combos. Looping frozen fragments of plucks over icy percussion and a warm analog bass. #thebeiarea #synthesizer #machinedrum #monomachine #sh101

To celebrate my first public performance of electronic music made on @weareelektron #MachineDrum and #Monomachine, I made a little mini movie with a recording of the live set and my oscilloscope as a visualizer. I’ve uploaded it to YouTube. Most of it was too dark to see on camera, but that just reminds me of the ongoing joke that electronic musicians just stand there, hunched over knobs and buttons, and probably just hit play on an MP3 anyway. In any case, I kinda enjoy that you couldn’t see much. Thanks to all who showed up to support me: friends, family, students, and fellow members of the South Bay/Santa Cruz synth community. šŸ“øšŸ¤³ @ellenzazz In case anyone is interested in what the MachineDrum and Monomachine sound like in my hands, with some delay and reverb, the link is in my bio. #electronicmusic #thebeiarea #warrenmusic

We love you Rocco. *** Shortly before I tried out my new Passerelle from Atelier Rosenkantz—a beautiful and thoughtful gift from my cousin—my wife and I lost a stray cat we had been caring for suddenly and tragically. Over a period of several months, we fed him nearly every day, went on walks with him, played with him, and were in the process of figuring out the best way to foster him and potentially adopt him… which made it all the more devastating when he passed on. I don’t know how, but it felt right to play something for him on the Passerelle. The music I made with it here was different from everything else I’d been playing in tone and style and approach, pretty much in every way. It wasn’t planned. And I suppose that made for a fitting tribute. Even though losing him was absolutely crushing, Rocco’s silly and loving, kind nature will never be forgotten. I wanted to share this little voice memo recording here with you all in case any of you read this and see feral or stray cats in your neighborhoods. Please look after them if you are able, educate yourselves on TNR (Trap, Neuter/Spay, and Return), and consider adopting or volunteering with a foster program or shelter. If you made space for Rocco’s memory today, thank you. #blackcatsofinstagram #šŸˆā€ā¬› #petloss #passerellebridge

Another great festival. LCD Soundsystem. Moby. Underworld. The Prodigy. Epic music performed at the highest level, and shared with an awesome crew. Festivals are always fun and memorable, but sometimes if you go looking for something more, and things align, you can find it there too. I know I brought things to grieve, to let go. And found things to sit with, to accept. Also grateful for instant connections with new friends and fresh inspiration. And forever grateful to Music, because it saved me. ā€œThe worst is all the lovely weather I’m stunned, it’s not raining The coffee isn’t even bitter Because, what’s the difference? There’s all the work that needs to be done It’s late, for revision There’s all the time and all the planning And songs, to be finished ā€œAnd it keeps coming And it keeps coming And it keeps coming ā€˜Til the day it stopsā€ #portola #portolamusicfestival #portola2025 #theprodigy #lcdsoundsystem #moby #underworld #despacio #livemusic #fujifilm #x100v #fujix100v

We’re easy. All we need is our treats and play, love and affection, head rubs, and living room concerts. I swear, we’re easy! 1, 2, 5 - Bolo 3, 4 - Beibei #blackcatsofinstagram #voidcats #šŸˆā€ā¬›šŸˆā€ā¬›

After an eventful, challenging, and surprising year—including three studio tear downs, three moves, a remodel, and a burglary, new friends, occasional bursts of creativity, and a slow return to a peaceful and serene state—I’m privileged enough to finally be back in a space that is both functional and full of what inspires me to make new stuff. Time to get back to work. #thebeiarea #warrenlain #warrenmusic #newartist #debutalbum
