Kishi Bashi: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

K Ishibashi is a master of building his music from the ground up, from live violin loops to layered singing to beatboxing, in order to create pocket symphonies steeped in classical music and 21st-century pop. He brings that ingenuity and songcraft to the Tiny Desk at the NPR Music offices.

Set List:
"Improvisation / Atticus, In The Desert"
"Bright Whites"
"I Am The Antichrist To You"

Went to his concert a couple weeks ago and it was...difficult to describe. Amazing of course. I felt something kind of...inside of me, his music was penetrating. I don't know how to describe it, but it really feels like you're in the presence of a great, special, creative genius.

[Austin Vines]

You'd have to throw Owen Pallett in there as well. It just wouldn't be the same without him.

the violin part is amazing... is this how most violin songs sound like? anyone got anything similar?

4:28 is what i'm talking about.

hmm so you stab people when they have differences in opinions. There's nothing wrong to what I said, there are many great artists who are a bit mad and that's just the way it is and we respect the individual for their works.

[Dylan Flanagan]

I want to agree with you about the brilliance, same time I want to stab you. Wish you never said anything.

[MrBENx9]
