This music is Live. Two guys, a stage full of instruments and a computer, doing things that have never been done before. Nothing prerecorded, no samples, all live. Live Instruments/Live Looping improvisational electronic dance music. Jazzy Funked and crunked up Dubstep, Glitchy Grimy House, Electro, Afro-cuban, Latin rhythms, Drum n Bass and all types of music are fair game in the construction of the unique sound of BAYST. Drums, keyboards, computers, stringed instruments, voices, hand claps, whistles and any other gadget that enables them to achieve their desired sound on stage is utilized for sonic liftoff and exploration. Instruments and Computers thrust together in a filthy torrid symbiotic marriage that keeps the room moving. The audience's energy merging with this duo of instrumentalists dictates where the music goes.
Brian Felker and Eric Rogers have been playing music together for over seven years.

Rogers founded the all-star improv funk/jazz powerhouse group 'Sol Kitchen. The two went on to form the eclectic zappa tinged 'Congratulations', and after years of relentless touring relocated to The San Francisco Bay area where they formed their newest musical incarnation BAYST. Thus, achieving their objective to unify the people in dance and venture to soundscapes undiscovered.
