That was pretty compellingly neat. Now I want to press ALL the buttons. [But...this would be disastrous.]

Reading the YT comments it sounds like the button thing is something the performer made themselves. ICBW though.

Super neat o thing is a Midi Fighter 64 - custom made for him.
Ordinary mortals like you and me can get the smaller version.

I studied classical piano long enough to have a high school diploma in piano performance (useful document! {/}) and I see things like this or even a 4x4 beat pad and I am just fascinated by the concept of learning the sample mapping on an unmarked grid.
Also fascinating to me was the incredibly well worked out fingering he had for his playing. When studying piano I'd often take a complicated section of music and work out the fingering and start with a slow tempo playing it through and through muscle memory training would work it up to a fast speed because the fingering worked.
Watching him shift his hands around as the piece got more complicated was sort of a 3rd-dimensional thrill ride variation on the lateral hand movements I had to work out on a piano keyboard.
This was fun! I'll look for more from this artist. Thanks so much for posting this!

This reopens for me the possibility of live electronic music performances.
I saw Bright Light Bright Light perform once and he had a couple of live musicians with him, but he also had a sample pad, drum type, that he was hitting with a drumstick to trigger horn stabs and backing vocals, and it was a pretty thrilling performance of samples, really. I'd never heard of him before (he was opening for John Grant), and I've been following his career since.

Me too! I'm also a pianist and it blows my mind how intricate the patterns are, especially considering that all of the buttons look exactly the same and particularly since the mapping is completely customized. On FB and elsewhere I have musician friends who are all "LOL button mashing EDM is the dumbz" and I respond with his videos. Some people get it, others are dismissive because they clearly aren't comprehending what he's doing.
Not that such attitudes are new - in college I was told by a composition grad student that "real music [was] composed, not programmed" which struck me as ironic since just a few weeks prior I had a string quartet read by an ensemble so steeped in 20th-century composition style that my lack of articulations resulted in a completely dead performance. I mean, if you have to explicitly tell the players precisely how to play each note, what is the difference between composed vs programmed music?

This feels like something out of a William Gibson or Bruce Sterling novel.
(Of course it’s real music. What else could it possibly be?)

Jack Conte (from Pomplamoose) uses one of those types of "music pads" as well, called a Launchpad. Here he mashes up Daft Punk and Skrillex and is basically way too talented.
