[itsfuckinavery]

1:54 *_*

he is so amazing

[RaphaelDuracell]

He looks like he could be one of my bro's <3 haha

[olivais123]

it would be so awesome if he didn't sing

[pashtettRB]

sweet!

[FrequenciesMusic]

You can't even comprehend how amazing he is live. I wonder how he gets the effect on his vocal, or if it's just a track he's singing over

[CRperro]

cute <3

[erich1593]

I didn't think, for his very ambient style, that he would move so much xD

He is awesome

[awesomegroenings]

he kind of looks retarded but his music is awesome and so is he!

[SomeOddYears]

@awesomegroenings why would even post the first part of your comment... 'he kind oflooks retarted...' i mean what's the point of that, what even makes you feel the need to say that... maybe next time just limit your comment to his music and keep his completely irrelevant physicality out of it... sheesh...

[DorDoreen]

seeing him tomorrow night! so excited!

[TheRealMrOwl]

Holy balls, did not see that coming.

Excellent!

[korbze11]

whaaatta boss.

[limosoca]

I'm stuck on this song- video.

[arreboy12]

I need you..

[vibronicz]

why are they always turning so many knobs??

[RefractionStudios]

@vibronicz It's to control the different effects and beat repeaters he has programmed to the pads on there, as well as it sounds like hes controlling different background instruments.

He explains it all here /watch?v=KpZScE07x8o

[ideanteb]

Great music. great performance. Donut Holes(: He should really think about shaving those side burns though. Ha

[ideanteb]

What's the name of the instrument he's playing?

[famousdave134]

@ideanteb its an Akai MPD32 its a controller for the program on his laptop.

[RefractionStudios]

@ideanteb 

[DesperateActor]

@ideanteb Akai MPD32

[Ximenex]

what is he playing? what's the name of that thingy? 8D

[Longjumperbeats]

@Ximenex

It's probably the APC40 for Ableton live

[AnalogVenture]

@Longjumperbeats Its an MPD.

[Longjumperbeats]

@AnalogVenture I see, you are correct sir.

[DesperateActor]

@Ximenex It's the Akai MPD32.

[TheLastBaron16]

He's so adorable :P

[epilepticteen]

those burns!

[LotusGanesh]

<3 Will

[burningtaco]

saw him yesterday, blew my mind...

[AndrewReyna]

This guy isn't performing music. He is singing over a track he is beat repeating. 

[evannachimson]

@AndrewReyna you try it

[meman24]

@AndrewReyna thats more than most dj type electronic musicians do. and its not one track actually, hes queuing tracks and filtering as well : /

[RoneciDesade]

@AndrewReyna You have no concept of what he is doing. He has played every instrument himself, and he manually layers them on the fly, while augmenting certain layers to add depth. You shouldn't belittle something that you would never be capable of yourself.

[musicismyfavorite777]

@RoneciDesade Uhh, well you're wrong too dude. He's not JUST beat repeating but he didn't make every individual sound himself. A good majority of building electronic music is sampling, which still isn't easy to do. He probably layers his instrumental tracks with an idea in mind and then sweeps in with his glitches and effects. Notice how is computer is there. He's play the basic track with the instruments, and he's probably got all his plug-ins on the same software as well.

[krancow]

@AndrewReyna Why so ignorant? Twat.

[RefractionStudios]

@AndrewReyna per·form [per-fawrm]

–verb (used with object)

1. to carry out; execute; do

2. to go through or execute in the proper, customary, or established manner

3. to carry into effect; fulfill

I think that he is indeed performing music, that is unless you want to argue with the FUCKING DICTIONARY...

This man is brilliant!!!

[xulnos]

All his music is pretty amazing. How could you dislike this?

[michaeljackson407]

Better version of Owl City?

[iKnowCheyneStokes]

@michaeljackson407 owl city is hardly comparable, baths is so unique, i mean yeah there is teebs and gold panda etc. but you can always tell a baths song.

[24Hours2]

This is great music.

[robwrz]

just saw him at the Troc, beautiful sounds, great vibe

[TheWilliamDaleShow]

Incredible song. I love it. Trip on this and you've met jesus I swear.......

[caseyhurt]

This is really beautiful. Thanks for filling the world with great music.

[lsiegris]

Went to his show at the Rock & Roll Hotel in DC a few weeks ago. He blew my mind. Had a fantastic show and the crowd loved it. Even gave us a quick encore despite his being sick. If he comes back to town I'll definitely be right in the front row to see him.

[musicman978]

This guy really knows how to push my buttons-_-

[Uelito]

i saw this guy live and it was amazing.

[LightWillIgniteUsAll]

6 people don't care for his music.

140 do.

Pretty nice ratio.

[jjul3]

Fucking hot.

[MISSmurder0]

I love him...

[r3dk9]

Such a great performance.

[masterwilkes]

Ben Gibbard + Eric Wareheim = Baths

[XgokkunX]

@masterwilkes hahahaha yes thats a good one

[ophlodorsh]

This guy is incredibly inspiring

[dankcat420]

different from ben gibbard

[Almondo99]

Kind of reminds me of Ben Gibbard, if he made electronic music haha. Oh wait...

[friendshipbands]

So rad

[Gliebhard]

OMG i love the Princess Mononoke sticker on his Mac

[J71CHEVY]

I just saw this today on LATV....had to download this song!

[pengueen02]

ridiculous.



[pengueen02]

ridiculous.

[AlouaisA]

But I LOVE the fokess-thing!!!

And I LOVE this song...

Baths is cute too...in a very special way;)

This is my new anthem

X

[MetaSynec]

Tja.

[3GApps]

To the ONE PERSON who thumbed this down. What the fuck is wrong with you? Seriously. You are socially inept.

[trixareforkris]

as a musician you and i should be aware that people make music because it invokes a feeling. if you don't like it, don't listen to it. but don't tell people they are wrong for enjoying it. an opinion is an opinion and your ears aren't better.

i love baths and his shows this week at cmj in nyc were absolutely stellar.

ps. if you appreciate musicians and appreciate listeners, they might appreciate you too.

[nineskyy]

16 people.

[dadee433]

dude. good job. this takes A LOT more skill than people think. i hope you get big!

[ticklemeelmo45]

@nineskyy You can play boring cliche pentatonic riffs on your guitar until the cows come home your not gonna make anyone give a fuck because it's been done millions of times before.

You obviously just have a problem because he's gay and successful, get ovet it jesus.

[And8But]

The people complaining about him aren't complaining about the music. It's because he's gay. DEAL WITH IT. IT'S BEEN LEGIT SINCE FREDDIE MERCURY (at least)

[WilliamTheCeltic]

@nineskyy hey no one cares to hear your opinion voiced so combatively. if you dont like it voice your opinion elsewhere than on the page of the actual artist. which also brings me to a point. this is ART. maybe not what you like or "rock". but this IS art and as so deserves respect and not some more criticism as we already have enough of that in the world. i respect your opinion, and he's not even near my favorite artists but stop coming off so forceful and mean. RESPECT.

[YogritMUN]

@nineskyy It isn't remotely rock and everyone knows it. This is IDM. He is technically a DJ. Real rock still exists, you are just looking in the completely wrong place...

[phlow2007]

BATHS "Plea" Live At Beta. Pure High Potency Ableton + AKAI32!!! Boy, you are every color, but how am I visible. Please tell me you need me.

[falllom]

baths tu es juste magique, je ne connais rien d'aussi planant malgré mes modestes connaissances de critique musical, comment expliquer le sentiment qui me retourne quand je t'écoutes..

i love you

[TakeThePictureNow]

@takepills hahahahahahaha!

[bluntasaurus]

BATHS I LOVE YOU

[teknojunkiemobile]
