In this episode we speak with William Lambert a music producer, better known under the pseudonym, WEI. WEI pulls Neo-Soul and electronic music together with pop-culture infected reality to create a uniquely polished sonic landscape. His music is textural, smooth, atmospheric and all kinds of wonderful. We dive into his influences, processes and experiences living and growing up in China and Singapore and how all of this plays a pivotal role in the music he creates. Our conversation takes us to some really interesting parts of his process including what role video game music plays and how he takes inspiration from dreams and experiences to build a track that can transport you to a specific time or place. We talk about how he manages to capture and combine different environments in his music, using samples and sounds from some pretty unique sources. Introducing: WEI On Music Production

Quotes
"You're sort of painting whenever you play an instrument."
"I'm definitely trying to provide a picture with my music."
"That's really the core of what being an artist and musician in this modern age is all about, just trying to do things your own way and not really worrying about the preconceived notions of what music should be."
"Through meditation I definitely come out with some new ideas, but usually I'm bouncing around the wall when I am making this type of music because I'm just so excited to stumble upon this new idea."
"Trying to make a piece of music such that it doesn't overstay its welcome is very important to me."
