Sebastian Arnold | Daseinslaborant

Received a nice spotlight today on getmusic.fm, telling my story of being an artist rooted in 1990s DJ culture and the creative melting pot of the 2000s Berlin electronic music scene.

My third solo release in 2012 took us on a journey into space – with drumsticks!

I built a compact custom MIDI controller based on OpenDeck.

An open source RFID Jukebox for my kids.

It's the end of 2025 and I'm happy to see new hand-made music coming from my favourite artists and new discoveries.

A personal portrait of my musical work is available now on the ARD Mediathek.

My latest album is now available as high-quality Vinyl on demand

New instrumental album in collaboration with Freiburg-based guitarist Jürgen Schwer

Back in Japan in 2024 – an urban jungle filled with Jazz, Electronica, Indie and future sounds, inspired by trips around the world, including some great concert memories.

2023 was a year of new beginnings and brought more room to breathe.

"Souvenir" is the first single from my upcoming Album Monolog Memories, a collection of recordings from the years 2014–2022.

Complexity is back in 2022 – with maximalist piano and drum arrangements, broken future jazz vibes from the UK, and some calm moments in between.

I create unique, interactive electronic music as a solo performer using acoustic drums and synthesizers.

Senode is a music composition app for iPad based on Finite State Machines.

12 years ago I started to make a mixtape of my favourite songs every end of the year.

In 2020, the world had come to a standstill.

In 2019, the world seemed to be running like a well-oiled beat.

2018 brings us very close to the peaceful heart of this series, opening up a whole new world of future jazz for me.

In 2017, the mixtape suddenly comes to a halt.

I'm very happy to announce that Senode is now available as an iOS app for the iPad.

2016 marks the last time in this series that travel is the central theme.

Today is the release of my new album Telegram EP – a collection of dance tracks from my "mad scientist drummer" solo performance.

The 2015 mixtape condenses my musical influences from Berlin, Upper Bavaria, Poland, Norway, the United Kingdom, Japan, Canada, the U.S., and more.

2014 was another great year with lots of concerts all over Germany.

We're finally starting our one-man band double feature with Robin Sukroso and Sebastian Arnold.

The road movie continues in 2013!

Public Static Void is a 5-channel audio composition I made as part of the series at studio Technische Universität Berlin.

Fly To Mars is my new remix single and video, followed by a short Germany tour.

I spent the week on CTM Festival building a prototype of a finite state machine sequencer.

In 2012 I drove through Romania with my drum kit in the trunk, to many German festivals with a tent and sleeping bag, and my new album was all about a trip into space – with a synthesizer, who would’ve thought!

Today is not only Towel Day, but also the release of my third album “Interstellar Getaway”.

We used to exchange our music as Christmas gifts. 2011 was just as packed with inspiration as this mixtape.

I was invited to play a show at Boiler Club in Cluj, Romania and joined 7th Sphere on stage for a second show.

It all started with the MIDIBox I built back in 2003.

2010 was a year full of musical encounters.

In 2009 we opened the Multilayerladen at Kotti in Berlin.
