Kishi Bashi hat angekündigt, dass sein neues Album Kantos am 23. August 2024 über Joyful Noise Recordings erscheinen wird. Es ist Kishi Bashis erstes komplettes Album seit 5 Jahren und sein Blick in die Zukunft und eine Feier der Existenz. Die erste Singleauskopplung Colorful State ist mit einem selbstgedrehten Video bereits erschienen. Für Herbst 2024 hat der Multi-Instrumentalist, den der deutsche Rolling Stone einmal als „Pop-Alchemisten“ bezeichnete, der ein „geradezu cineastisches Klanguniversum“ präsentiere, drei Konzerte in Deutschland bestätigt. Kishi Bashi spielt in Berlin (19.11.), Köln (27.11.), und München (2.12.). Special Guest bei allen Terminen ist die UK Alternative Pop Band Sweet Loretta.
Die epische Leadsingle Colorful State ist ein ausdrucksstarker, prog-angehauchter orchestraler Rocksong, über die Komplexität unseres menschlichen Lebens, wie wir uns in einem ständigen Wechsel zwischen völliger Freude und mürrischer Unsicherheit und allem, was dazwischen liegt, fühlen können, erklärt Kaoru Ishibashi alias Kishi Bashi. "Dieser Song ist eine warme Umarmung dieser Unvermeidlichkeit des Wandels, und dass es für jeden Sonnenuntergang immer einen Sonnenaufgang am nächsten Morgen geben wird." Das Album wurde von Kishi Bashi selbst produziert und abgemischt von Tucan (Hot Chip, Jungle, Aluna). Aufgenommen bei Chase Park Transduction mit dem langjährigen Kollaborateur und Ingenieur Drew Vandenberg (Faye Webster of Montreal, Toro y Moi) und den britischen Musikern Sweet Loretta, enthält es außerdem weitere Gastmusiker, darunter Zorina Andall (Gesang), Augie Bello (Saxophon) und die Aktivistin/Rapperin Linqua Franqa.
Kishi Bashi ist das Pseudonym des Geigenvirtuosen Kaoru Ishibashi. Nach Aufnahmen, Tourneen und der Zusammenarbeit mit verschiedenen Künstler:innen wie Regina Spektor, Sondre Lerche und of Montreal veröffentlichte Kishi Bashi 2012 sein erstes Album 151a über Joyful Noise, das hoch gelobt und von NPR zum "Best New Artist Of The Year" gekürt wurde. K´s Folgealbum Lighght erweiterte seine Palette um eine vielfältigere und nuanciertere Instrumentierung und flirtete mit östlich angehauchten Arrangements, Philip Glass inspirierten Improvisationen und 70er Jahre Prog. Mit dem 2016 erschienenen Album Sonderlust wurde Ks Arbeit mit Hilfe des Produzenten Chris Taylor, des Toningenieurs Pat Dillet und des Schlagzeugers Matt Chamberlain noch intensiver, persönlicher und künstlerisch abenteuerlicher.
Nach Sonderlust reiste K häufig nach Montana und Wyoming, um an einem "Songfilm" über die japanische Internierung im Zweiten Weltkrieg zu arbeiten. Kishi Bashis viertes Album, Omoiyari, ist ein Studioalbum, das während dieser sechs intensiven Jahre des Reisens, Recherchierens und Filmens für den Film Omoiyari: A Song Film geschrieben wurde, der beim South by Southwest 2022 Premiere hatte und im Herbst 2023 auf mehreren Filmfestivals gezeigt wurde und auf Paramount + zum Streamen verfügbar ist. Omoiyari ist das fünfte Album von Kishi Bashi und enthält Improvisationen vor Ort, neue Versionen von Songs aus dem Kishi Bashi-Katalog sowie unveröffentlichte Songs und Demos, die im Film vorkommen.

Kishi Bashi has announced that his new album Kantos will be released on August 23, 2024, via Joyful Noise Recordings. It marks Kishi Bashi's first full album in 5 years and is his glimpse into the future and a celebration of existence. The first single release, Colorful State, accompanied by a self-directed video, has already been released. For the fall of 2024, the multi-instrumentalist, whom the German Rolling Stone once described as a "pop alchemist" presenting an "almost cinematic sound universe," has confirmed three concerts in Germany. Kishi Bashi will be performing in Berlin (11/19), Cologne (11/27), and Munich (12/2). Special guest at all dates is the UK Alternative Pop Band Sweet Loretta.
The epic lead single, Colorful State, is a powerful, prog-infused orchestral rock song about the complexity of our human lives, how we can feel in a constant shift between utter joy and gloomy uncertainty, and everything in between, explains Kaoru Ishibashi, aka Kishi Bashi. "This song is a warm embrace of this inevitability of change, and that for every sunset, there will always be a sunrise the next morning." The album was self-produced by Kishi Bashi and mixed by Tucan (Hot Chip, Jungle, Aluna). Recorded at Chase Park Transduction with longtime collaborator and engineer Drew Vandenberg (Faye Webster of Montreal, Toro y Moi) and the British musicians Sweet Loretta, it also features other guest musicians, including Zorina Andall (vocals), Augie Bello (saxophone), and activist/rapper Linqua Franqa.
Kishi Bashi is the pseudonym of violin virtuoso Kaoru Ishibashi. After recording, touring, and collaborating with various artists like Regina Spektor, Sondre Lerche, and of Montreal, Kishi Bashi released his first album, 151a, in 2012 via Joyful Noise, which was highly acclaimed and named NPR's "Best New Artist Of The Year." K's follow-up album, Lighght, expanded his palette to include more diverse and nuanced instrumentation and flirted with Eastern-influenced arrangements, Philip Glass-inspired improvisations, and 70s prog. With the album Sonderlust released in 2016, K's work, with the help of producer Chris Taylor, sound engineer Pat Dillet, and drummer Matt Chamberlain, became more intense, personal, and artistically adventurous.
After Sonderlust, K frequently traveled to Montana and Wyoming to work on a "song film" about the Japanese internment during World War II. Kishi Bashi's fourth album, Omoiyari, is a studio album written during these six intense years of traveling, researching, and filming for the Omoiyari: A Song Film, which premiered at South by Southwest 2022 and was shown at several film festivals in the fall of 2023, available for streaming on Paramount +. Omoiyari is Kishi Bashi's fifth album and includes on-site improvisations, new versions of songs from the Kishi Bashi catalog, as well as unreleased songs and demos featured in the film.

KOKUBU - The Drums of Japan
The Drums of Japan:
KOKUBU embarks on a grand tour of Germany with "SOUND OF LIFE" in 2025.
KOKUBU - one of the world's largest drum shows - is coming to Germany in 2025, taking the audience on a magical journey through Japan, between artistic drumstorms and delicate bamboo flute tones. The acclaimed Japanese drum show KOKUBU captivates audiences with their new show "SOUND OF LIFE" featuring furious rhythms and powerful athleticism.
Japan, the Land of the Rising Sun as it is also known here. It has always exerted a strong fascination. And we are not talking about sushi, judo, or high-performance drift cars. No, the fascination of Japan lies mainly or at least to a large extent in the distinct differences that characterize the country. There is the high-tech nation with numerous global corporations, and then there is an empire with centuries-old traditions. The latter corresponds to the cultural ethos of KOKUBU.
KOKUBU is one of the most famous Taiko drum groups worldwide. With their impressive performance, they unite Japanese culture and energy. Their trademark is the perfect symbiosis of traditional craftsmanship and modern entertainment, captivating audiences of all ages. The drummers of Kokubu are not only virtuosos on their instruments but also masters of staging, creating a magical atmosphere with spectacular choreographies and impressive lighting effects.
Drums that make the ground tremble.
KOKUBU is an indescribably captivating experience for the ears, eyes, heart, and soul. The exceptional troupe dressed in black kimonos and white headbands spans the musical spectrum between the ground-shaking acoustic hurricane of the drums, subtle rhythms, and the soft sound of the bamboo flute (Shakuhachi). Founded in 1998, the ensemble from Osaka led by Shakuhachi master Chiaki Toyama brings breathtaking synchronicity or contrasting rhythms to the stage using varying groupings and three differently-sized tube drums (Taikos).
In 2024, two large O-Daiko drums will be used for the first time, giving the group an even more impressive performance. These drums are played by an athlete with two massive, forearm-thick sticks. Delicate flute tones provide the counterpoint. Their Far Eastern sound enchants instantly. Thus, a magically enchanting music for Europeans is created. An understanding of this art deeply rooted in ancient tradition is provided by a brief introduction preceding each piece, explaining (in German) the meaning of the respective songs. These songs may address topics such as the unity of body and mind, joy of life, nature, the power of the seasons, or the belief of "Moving forward without looking back."
In addition to the authentic and hypnotically fascinating energy of this spectacular show, KOKUBU pursues another approach: the deep spirituality of Japan is made palpable with every note. This is ensured by Masamitsu Takasaki as a world champion of the three-stringed plucked instrument Tsugaru-Shamisen and Karin Toyama, who will enrich the event with the lovely sounds of the Koto - a plucked instrument similar to our zithers. A new stage design and a spectacular lighting concept round off this extraordinary drum event.
