Kishi Bashi - I Am The Antichrist To You | The Wild Honey Pie Buzzsession

Kishi Bashi records “I Am The Antichrist To You” in font of our cameras and a projector. Buzzsessions are performance music videos produced by The Wild Honey Pie. With each new episode, we capture footage of our favorite bands as they record alternate studio quality versions of their songs.
Kishi Bashi is the pseudonym of Athens, GA-based singer, songwriter, and virtuosic violinist Kaoru Ishibashi. His music is utterly unique in the original sense-that is, literally one of a kind. It is a beautiful beast catalyzed by intricate, intertwining loops of violin, which work together to create colorful emotional tapestries that are far more than the sum of their already breathtaking parts. Ishibashi’s lyrics are brainy, imaginative, and poetic musings that often read like vignettes of surrealist fantasy.
In this 2012 Buzzsession, he performs extended versions of two tracks-the effusive and jubilant “Manchester” and the undulating, introspective “I Am The Antichrist To You”-from his debut album 151a. Pronounced ichi-go ichi-e, the album is named for a Japanese term that, as he explains, “signifies the joy or the beauty of a singular moment in time.” What’s striking is that Ishibashi’s style of performance is, in itself, a celebration of that concept: because of the spontaneous, semi-improvisational nature of looping, every performance of a given song differs from the next, each acting as its own singular moment unlike any other.

Can’t believe Rick and Morty had to introduce me to his music. It’s bewildering and I love it.

[@Bliblblub]

It's fascinating how well this music fits in with the third episode of season five

That episode made me so sad though lol

i wanna know who chooses music for rick and morty, they are the kinda people i want to follow

[@xpirate16]

Great music comes from the strangest places haha I was introduced to this via R&M and the band The Hu at a pool party both over the weekend :D

[@piercewilson3192]

It's too bad you don't see incredibly talented artists like this get rich and famous and hit the top 10 charts

[@JG-rm2ql]

I never comment but the truest statement. So much good work out there positive inspiration so many things but we are fed low grade junk.

[@cv2tv]

I've heard Kishi Bashi on the radio in Starbucks and he's had his music in commercials so this isn't entirely true, but also artists as authentic as him don't need that kind of fame. Fame is a biproduct of good works, but it tends to become more of a nuisance because it takes away a person's ability to meet people with a blank slate the way we are meant to experience life. Top 10 fame means everybody with a tv or radio can come up to you and start acting weird. Nobody wants that, and if you do, you should check yourself and your ego's superficial desires.

[@Leotique]

he soon will be famous again

[@alias201]

No, I'm glad they don't. Fame is very bad for your mental health. This guy's songs get licensed all the time - he's getting paid for his work. It's a good balance.

[@44neelakandasarmak99]

@@cv2tv dude,I'm from India and the sole reason I'm here listening to this amazing song,is Rick and Morty...so for a product (here, a song) to reach out to a man who's halfway across the world, needs a lot of fame...if the creator was someone like Eminem or Marshmallow I'd 've already listed to this... so it's not always bad to have a celebrity status 😁🙌

[@kaylahD_ford]

His music feels like every long hug you've ever received, mixed with a cup of the most soothing tea, mixed with the sound of rain while laying safely in bed, mixed with being in love, mixed with heartbreak, mixed with a soft kiss and the magic of being a human. Raw. Primal. Vulnerable. Incredible.

[@xoindigold]

Kishi Bashi makes fairy music to yearn to.

[@StressfulMusicOfficial]

That's the vicious cycle one relives constantly over the loss of a loved one.

[@BILLD188767]

That is by far the best way I have ever heard music being described. If I had to explain music to a deaf person, THAT is what I would tell them word for word. Ty so much for that.

[@felixlerouxmusic1159]

Rick and Morty brought me to this song,which I have to say was the perfect song for the episodes theme towards Morty’s love story.It honestly made me cry a little to see how much in pain Morty was and that just shows how much of great character development the episode showed on his part.

I don't lament his lack of popularity, that's for him to do -if it matters to him. I hope he continues to be available forever. I can help that happen by spending small amounts of money on his songs.
