Bunadox, the Seattle dark synth project led by sound designer and multi-instrumentalist Hans Twite, released the single “The Prism” on June 25, 2026. The Bunadox “The Prism” single is the project’s first new music since its 2023 debut, issued as a digital release through Bandcamp.
The track sets Twite’s synth lead against a baritone guitar and live drums from Will Andrews, with a syncopated rhythm under vocals that begin close and restrained before opening into a higher, controlled line. Bunadox draws on post-punk, dark wave and industrial, and the single is presented in a Dolby Atmos mix.

Bunadox ‘The Prism’: what the single is about
Twite frames the song around the competing self-images a person carries and the pull of who they think they should be. “There are many versions of ourselves, all living inside of us. […] A vision can be a force that drives us forward, but the light that pushes us, is also bent in our will. The choice of what we see, and who we listen to, is ours alone,” he said.
He describes that pull as a trap he has learned to question. “I’ve realized many times that idea can be a trap, and that there are more possibilities for yourself if you open up your mind and unravel your idea of how things should be,” Twite said.
A reintroduction after ‘Fell Into Night’
“The Prism” follows the debut single “Fell Into Night”, released on October 20, 2023. Twite has said the new track opens a series of releases and future multimedia performances built around improvisation, with local musicians, engineers and producers brought in to shape each piece.
About Bunadox
Bunadox is a dark synth project based in Seattle, United States, led by Hans Twite, a sound designer and multi-instrumentalist. Twite played in the experimental groups The Ether Room and Jungle Maps before building a career in audio design for games, film, science channels and NPR production. He works through collaboration, starting from unusual timbres and inviting other players, engineers and producers to follow their instincts.
The project debuted with the single “Fell Into Night” on October 20, 2023. Twite wrote and produced the track and handled synths, guitars, bass and vocals, with Will Andrews co-producing and playing drums. After that release, Bunadox stepped back before returning with “The Prism” on June 25, 2026, again featuring Andrews on drums and presented in a Dolby Atmos mix. Twite has positioned the single as the start of a new run of recordings and improvisation-based live work.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
