Watch the original short →

When I strum my Fender Stratocaster guitar, I am playing an instrument.

When I hit the drum pads on my Ensoniq ASR-X drum machine, I am playing an instrument.

And when I click notes into a DAW like FL Studio, I am playing an instrument.

Tools are a fundamental part of the creative process.

The evolution of these tools has defined music-making throughout history.

They are the vehicle used to translate the vision into reality.
