Shawn Wasabi: Marble Soda

Music producer (and MIDI controller magician) Shawn Wasabi makes a comeback after almost a year with the intensely stimulating “Marble Soda,” a mash-up of samples culled from 153 different songs and sounds. In the video, Wasabi’s fingers fly over a custom-made 64 button controller as he twists his hands to press up to six to seven buttons simultaneously—and reminding viewers of the mastery and hours of practice required by virtuosic classical pianists. Prepare for a pop music eargasm like no other as Wasabi whirls you through Anamanaguchi to Cashmere Cat to Ryan Hemsworth with a dash of J-Pop thrown in.
