Al Sauter Video, Photo & Music

photo by Graham Swindell

I work as a freelance music producer, recording and mixing engineer. Most of the times you can find me working at the Harmony Recording Studio in Nosara, or from my small home studio. I am a musician myself, specializing in rock and electronic music. As a side passion I built guitar pedals and synthesizers (as "eq.circuitos"), so I use those on my music productions and during mixing sessions. I compose and produce music that is suited for use on films and specially surf movies.

Here are some of my personal projects: music I made for videos, videos I made for music, and just music I made by myself and with my band and other collaborators::

Soundtracks::

Music I have made for my videos. All original music.

Sonar Club is the name of the live jams recording experiment band I played together with Alejandro Hidalgo (drums) and Esteban Víquez (electric guitar and pedals). We make improvised music that goes anywhere from psychedelic rock, to prog, funk, library music, krautrock and heavier forms of experiments. All instrumental the idea is that this music goes well as soundtracks for movies and surf videos.

Music I made with my band °0 (read: " Grado Cero"). Instrumental/Experimental/Progressive/Alternative/Hard Rock project with Roberto Fuchs (bass) and Edwin Calderón (drums).

electrón.Efímero:: My electronic music project where I experiment with analog and hybrid analog/digital systems to make electro music ranging from ambient to acid to techno to idm to experimental electronic rock, and more...find me on Resident Advisor and Bandcamp.

My solo self named project, is where I have done a lot of experimention, and published a lot of it (even if music were rough drafts, demos, or just studies and experiments) on Bandcamp::

My home studio::

Is where I do a bunch of my personal projects, mixing, composing, etc. It includes a bunch of different gear.
