Will Wiesenfeld’s musical history began learning to play the piano at his own insistence to compete with his brother aged four. Despite giving up the piano, Wiesenfeld didn’t give up on music and had begun experimenting with electronic means of music production by his teenage years. Then one day after discovering Björk’s music for the first time, the musician toyed with a layering production style and taught himself the guitar, contrabass and viola. The result of this ambient experimentation was Wiesenfeld’s debut project [Post-Faetus], which produced the albums “The Fabric” and “Proximity One: Narrative of a City”. Following this Wiesenfeld focused his attention on the more ambient aesthetic of his music, and began releasing tracks under the moniker Geotic.
Baths was born in 2007, however it wasn’t until 2010 with the release of his debut album “Cerulean” that Wiesenfeld starting gaining critical reception . Issued by Anticon Records, the album earned positive reviews from Pitchfork Media and Drowned in Sound and spawned the single “The Nothing”. A year later Baths released the compilation “Pop Music/False B-Sides” before making appearances on songs by Daedelus, Dntel, Nobody, and Flying Lotus. Baths’ second full-length album “Obsidian” was issued by Anticon in May 2013. The album once again won the hearts of critics and fans alike, cementing Wiesenfeld’s position as a talented and respected electronic artist. The EP “Ocean Death” followed in May 2014, which Baths premiered at a show in Hong Kong.
So I've seen Baths a bunch of times at a bunch of different venues. I love him and I think he's literally (LITERALLY) flawless. Him touring with Morgan (@grinbucket) only makes the show more lively.
The only time I've ever really seen Will not vibe ultra hard was at the Boston show at The Sinclair where a bunch of people were black out drunk and just constantly yelling things at him. I've seen him handle a girl drunkenly assault him onstage but the heckling was ceaseless so you could tell it kind of bummed him out.
He vibes really well with crowd and loves to talk and always makes it a really intimate experience. Honestly I think he's a brilliant and beautiful performer and deserves to be heard by everyone.
