1000 Suns are an instrumental post rock trio from Los Angeles, CA. Inspired by the drama and experimental nature of instrumental music, the use of effects pedals, samples and electronic instruments play a major role in the band's sound. 

2012 yielded The Spirit Molecule, drums were recorded at Berkeley Street Studio in Santa Monica, CA by Brandon Duncan (The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Ziggy Marley) while the remainder of the album was tracked and mixed at GhostNote Studio. The album contains a variety of melodic motifs, haunting soundscapes, and heavy grooves, at times manifesting the influences of Pink Floyd as well as Tool. The songs take the listener on a journey, while remaining surprisingly minimalistic.

The Body The Mind found light of day in 2014 after returning to Berkeley Street with Mr. Duncan and shadowing the process of returning to GhostNote to complete the tracking. Ranging from moody mellow pieces and surreal transitional montages to epic and heavy riff bashing, the album delves further into intricate arrangements and lush effects. A loose concept piece, it explores visual and conceptual themes of division, polarity, and contrast.

Analogue synthesizer music. Mostly unreleased work. See streaming and Paper+Sound for mastered releases.

Workshop mixes for Judas Window, Doozy, and the Oneirologist.

Since the release of their first critically acclaimed album “Letters from Afar”, Budapest West have delighted audiences around the Pacific Northwest and beyond with their unique “electro-world-groove” sound. Budapest West have performed at many of Washington’s largest festivals, including the Coupeville Arts & Crafts Festival, Spokane Pig Out, Choochokam Music & Arts Festival, Apple Blossom Festival, just to name a few. Their sound has been heard on live stages from Alaska to Hollywood and across the Midwest and Great Lakes region. In addition to traditional music and arts venues, Budapest West regularly performs at craft breweries, wineries, weddings and fine restaurants. 

Their sound fuses the multi-textural and multi-style playing of guitarist Rob Rigoni with the trance-like and hypnotic synth/bass/percussion lines of keyboardist Santia. Merging old fashioned live performance techniques with modern looping, advanced synthesis, and triggered sounds, Budapest West achieve a lush, melodic, sound that is sure to take the listener on a “sonic adventure around the world”. 

In addition to their compelling live show, Budapest West music has been heard on National Public Radio, and their song “Tranquility in E Minor” from the 2010 album reached #1 on the Ourstage.com “all instrumental” station. In 2012, Santia penned the trance-rock anthem “Moon Goddess” especially for Tacoma’s 12/22/12 Winter Solstice Event and the recorded version was debuted as the clock struck midnight, much to the delight of the Solstice revelers. With the 2014 release of “Journey of Imagination”, Budapest West carries on their tradition of engaging and entertaining world-rock music.
