Kishi Bashi performs in the Soundcheck studio.
(Michael Katzif / WNYC)
K. Ishibashi, who records under the name Kishi Bashi, is a violinist. He’s also a composer, beat boxer, singer and more. He used to be the go-to guy when acts like Of Montreal and Regina Spektor needed a string player -- until he struck out on his own. His solo performances are great looping feats of one-man-band-manship. But he’s brought a small group to the studio to bring his melodic chamber pop to life.
Songs performed include "It All Began With A Burst," "Wonder Woman, Wonder Me," and "Bright Whites," which you can also watch below:
