COMMENTS
It appears that a(n) <= A088353(n). They are identical until n=11 where a(11) = 547, but A088353(n) = 548.
It also appears that a(n) <= A059633(n+2). They are identical until n=25 where a(25) = 3413376, but A059633(27) = 3413377.

FORMULA
a(0) = 1
a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} a(n-k)*ceiling(sin(k)).
EXAMPLE
a(4) = 1*ceiling(sin(4)) + 1*ceiling(sin(3)) + 2*ceiling(sin(2)) + 4*ceiling(sin(1)) = 1*0 + 1*1 + 2*1 + 4*1 = 7.
MATHEMATICA
A[0] := 1
A[n_] := A[n] = If[n <= 0, 0, Sum[A[n - k]Ceiling[Sin[k]], {k, 1, n}]]
PROG
(Java)
int limit = 500; //limit index, can be changed for more terms

for(int k = 1; k <= i; k++) {
n[i] = n[i].add(n[i-k].multiply(BigInteger.valueOf((long) Math.ceil(Math.sin(k)))));
}
System.out.println(i+" "+n[i]);
