The annoying neighour's back!

Hi there! I go by the artist name Sun Lite and my nickname is Willem. My latest album is called Sun’s Seven and it’s a great place to start if you want to get to know my music.

During the past months I’ve been busy with all kinds of things, except music. Well, that is about to change.

Here’s some new stuff – an old dusty theme in a bluesy jacket. There’s snippets of Beck, Jimi Hendrix and me on the mouth harp & vocals. Plus some hip-hop scratching.

Enjoy!

About:

A multitude of genres and a neverending urge to experiment & improve...

I am driven by creativity, which is symbolized by the acronym SUN. As for LITE, it represents humility and a preference for a low profile.

I was born in 1964 and currently reside in Belgium. As an independent artist without a record label contract, I consider myself "your everyday bedroom producer" due to my humble gear setup.

I create electronic music across various genres. I am also capable of singing and playing a little bit of acoustic guitar. To create my music, I utilize virtual instruments and samples. I don't have any high-end equipment or expensive studio; instead, I work out of a basic room in my house. I take pride in crafting the perfect sound by mixing and mastering my music to the best of my ability. Additionally, I accompany each of my songs with a video

My Youtube Channel

Music has been a major influence in my life, whether as a listener or as a singer in local bands. As I pursued my passion for music, my focus eventually turned to producing and mixing sounds. In 2018, I launched the Sun Lite Project and have been fully committed ever since.

I enjoy listening to a variety of music genres and I like to incorporate them into my own creations. I find it difficult to comprehend why there are so many different music genres, styles, and subgenres. To me, it's all just music. My aim is to push the limits, explore new genres and sounds, and to enhance the quality of my mixing and mastering skills.

The Making Of...

In the beginning...

...all I had was an iPad and GarageBand. I didn't even own a microphone. But surprisingly, many of those initial songs made it to my albums. For instance, tracks such as "Movin' On" and "Trolls" from the album "Sun's Seven" feature multiple voiceovers that were recorded using the iPad's built-in microphone

Listen: "Trolls"

Gear

I currently use a Windows laptop and the Reaper application as my Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). To play virtual instruments such as the Mellotron, Hammond Organ, Moog, and other synths and soundscapes, I use a MIDI keyboard. I also utilize samples, which I edit as needed

In most of my songs, I sing and sometimes play the acoustic guitar. As of now, the electric guitars, basses, and drums used in my music are software-based.

Workflow

I don't have a set workflow for creating music. Sometimes, I begin by writing lyrics and music on an acoustic guitar. Afterwards, I move to the DAW to work on the structure and arrangement while recording the vocals and other virtual instruments. Other times, I start with a basic idea like a beat or a bassline and see where it takes me as I work on it

Mixing & Mastering

I work on mixing and attempting to master my songs. Though they don't always sound perfect, I create them with love and sincerity. I primarily use studio headphones for now, but I dream of having a recording room with excellent monitors. It's just a matter of time and money before I can make that happen.

Other activities

After completing a song, I create a video to showcase it. You can find some highlights on my homepage, but for the full experience, you can visit my Youtube channel. Additionally, I attempt to design this website and manage my social media accounts on Facebook and Instagram during any spare time.
