BRIARWAVE AUDIO PLUGINS & EXPERIMENTAL STUDIO TOOLS
Bespoke Audio Instruments For Creative Exploration
Briarwave creates luxury-grade audio plugins and studio hardware for artists, producers, and engineers who want their tools to inspire as much as they process. Built with best-in-class sonic quality, distinctive visual design, and deeply interactive control, Briarwave products transform classic studio traditions into modern creative instruments — inviting movement, texture, atmosphere, and discovery into every session.
A boutique reverb for beautifully broken spaces, smeared ambience, shoegaze washes, and strange cinematic depth. DirtyVerb turns classic reverb ideas into something darker, wider, and more textural.
A multi-effects relay system built around reverb, delay, tremolo, vibrato, and dynamic ducking. Relay Room lets your tracks move, breathe, and respond with vintage-inspired ambience and rhythmic motion.
A highly programmable chaos machine built around vintage tape-based delay, intervallic glitch movement, multi-voice chorus textures, and bit crushing. Haunted delays, spectral pitch motion, smeared repeats, and otherworldly audio journeys.
A reactive laboratory plugin where source audio can be transformed by six effects — Echo, Pitch, Space, Freeze, Reverse, and Smear — and triggered by external Agent tracks. Number 9 turns interaction between tracks into movement, atmosphere, and controlled musical chaos.
THE BRIARWAVE ETHOS
The Ghost In
The Machine
True character isn't found in sterile, mathematically perfect digital environments. It is born from physical limitations and electrical interactions. Briarwave's laboratory meticulously models these hardware anomalies, bringing the soul of analog recording technology into the modern digital workspace. Every plugin we build embraces these iimperfections.
"Obsessed with the living hum of a vacuum tube, vintage digital limitations, the subtle saturation of aged tape, chips, transistors, and the ghosts that live in the circuits.”
FOUNDER & CHIEF ENGINEER
From the Workbench
Bryan Clark is the founder and creative force behind Briarwave — a producer, composer, guitarist, educator, and lifelong sonic experimenter with more than three decades of experience on both sides of the glass.
After years working with world-class artists, studios, instruments, and recording systems, Bryan created Briarwave as a home for audio tools that feel personal, tactile, musical, and alive. His plugins are shaped by a deep respect for classic studio tradition, an obsession with best-in-class sound, and a love of the beautifully unpredictable moments that happen when technology becomes part of the creative process.
Briarwave reflects Bryan’s larger artistic world: cinematic, handmade, slightly haunted, highly musical, and built for people who want their tools to inspire new ideas instead of simply completing tasks.
"Briarwave treats digital sound design like fine instrument making - shaping code and circuits with the same reverence a master luthier brings to wood, wire, and resonance"
