Josh Cohen: Radiohead for Solo Piano

Josh Cohen: Radiohead for Solo Piano description

Please note: This event has changed dates (previously Tue 08 Mar). It will now take place on Sun 06 Mar.

Experience Radiohead on solo piano by YouTube sensation Josh Cohen. Approved by the band itself and racking up over 8 million online views, his classical and jazz-infused interpretations breathe blissful new life into the experimental rock classics. Pared back to two hands, the songs’ chord progressions remain familiar but their rhythmic character is elevated, enhancing their mesmerising effect. There’s also a live, responsive, and dramatic visual design from artist Joshua Batty of MindBuffer.

Still feel(s) like pure Radiohead: subtly orchestral; beautiful but unsettled.
