Kishi Bashi – Captivates Utopiafest 2014
Kishi Bashi is an alias for, and project of, renowned violinist, multi-instrumentalist, loop artist and songwriter Kaoru Ishibashi. His captivating virtuoso musical ability has fostered a groundswell of devotees.
Kishi Bashi’s Kickstarter-funded debut album 151a was self-released, recorded and produced in 2012. NPR awarded it the “Best New Artist of The Year”. It received applause from Huffington Post, Paste, Spin, Stereogum, and many others. Microsoft, Smart and Sony licensed songs from the album for commercial use.
Kishi Bashi has since toured across the globe and has played in major festivals such as SXSW and Austin City Limits and Utopiafest. Concert and festival photographer Chris Hooper (aka AoxoA) presents images of Kishi Bashi’s live show at Utpiafest 2014 and media clips from various sources.
