"Even if you hate the music that you have to start playing in order to learn an instrument, that muscle memory, the technique you have in your fingers and in your movements will stay with you regardless of how far from that you want to go."
-Will Weisenfeld a.k.a. Baths
Electronic artist BATHS, also known as Will Weisenfeld, stops by the studio to show BETA how he puts together his compositions, breaking things down layer by layer and demonstrating how he performs live on an Akai MPD32 Software Control Surface. His wild hands put it all together live for a heartfelt performance of the beautiful and yearning Plea.
