In the seventh episode of the OneBeat Podcast, meet Anton Maskeliade, an adventurous Moscow-based electronic musician who has been a pioneer in many ways: in addition to being one of the first artists in the world to feature leap motion gesture control technology in his music, he is the founder of a Maskeliade Music School, which he believes is doing its part in challenging and changing the strict and hierarchical methods of music education common in Russia and other parts of the world. 

As an alumnus of the 2012 OneBeat Program, Anton’s conversation with OneBeat co-founder Jeremy Thal gives us a warming glimpse into moments from the first ever OneBeat Program from nearly a decade ago, and Anton reflects on how that experience reframed the way he thinks about designing musical environments that allow for musicians — regardless of experience — to bloom into the their full artistic potential. In his recently published book, “Your First Track”, Anton expresses, “today, anyone can create their own music using only a computer and headphones. If you have something to say to the world, you can also become a musician.”
