SUMMARY:Kishi Bashi String Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Kishi Bashi’s sophomore album\, Lighght (pronounced “Light”)\, continues and expands the sound of his critically acclaimed debut\, 151a. \nLighght takes its title from the one-word poem by minimalist poet Aram Saroyan. As Kishi Bashi explains\, “The poem’s blatant assault on literary convention and classical form was attractive to me.” It is apparent that such an approach informed the new album\, which has both broadened and redefined his classical foundations. “Though I have studied classical composition\, I prefer to take an unconventional path when it comes to creating and thinking about music\,” says Kishi Bashi. \nThough violin remains his primary instrument and songwriting muse\, Kishi Bashi has expanded his palette to include more diverse and nuanced instrumentation. Bright and soaring avant-pop songs are prevalent\, as are Eastern-tinged arrangements\, gentle ballads\, Philip Glass inspired improvisations\, and more than a few moments that flirt with 70s prog (in the tradition of ELO or Yes).
