'Weird Fishes/Arpeggi' - Oregon Koto-Kai (Radiohead cover)

- This performance of "Weird Fishes/Arpeggi" was recorded and featured as part of Oregon Koto-Kai's 2021 Virtual Fall Concert. Original song composed by Radiohead, and the Japanese koto cover arranged by Josh Faber-Hammond. This was our first performance of the piece and our first performance in the same room together since the start of the pandemic.
The iconic song was the fourth track from Radiohead's album In Rainbows, released in 2007. It was selected for arrangement because its sweeping arpeggios and interlocking rhythms take full advantage of the koto's sonic range and traditional playing techniques. Each individual koto part is relatively simple to play on its surface, but the composition's understated use of polymeter and counterpoint made this a fun and challenging piece to perform as an ensemble.
You can find original koto music from Josh Faber-Hammond at sonokiri.bandcamp.com

Wow, we're so thankful for all the positive feedback on this video, and we're glad we could share it with so many Radiohead fans around the world. For those of you wanting a better quality recording, our group is in the middle of recording our debut album right now and this is one of the pieces that's going to get the proper studio treatment. We expect it will come out sometime next year. Stay tuned!
Real nice.
More well known covers and your channel would blow up..
That was great! I think I recognize that room... Reed College Chapel?
Are you lot playing anywhere locally as of late?
@@ersp1 Yeah, that's right! It was a beautiful space.
I'm sure this will just be lost in the sea of comments, but this is insanely beautiful. I was in chills all the way through out. This is the best cover of any Radiohead song ever made.
Absolutely! 😍
This is a testament to both the brilliance of Radiohead and the koto players. Such a complex, syncopated tune. Really beautiful.
Instantly made me depressed. Nailed it!
Jonny's part was played perfectly. the amount of concentration from all of them is stunning
Listening to this was like seeing a shaft of light through a cracked door. Ships sails full of sky and breath. Union of joy and tears
Lianne de havas has an amazing live version of this. Again very different
This is the kind of art is the meaning of life.
The level of mastery here is insane. Being able to recreate every single element of that song in this way is just incredible. i am very late to seeing this and now i have? I am in awe. incredible doesn't even do it justice.
I can delete my comment now. You said it way better ❤
Was not expecting them to do the intense breakdown part at the end.
Masterpiece - thanks for doing this
Ancient Japanese people who made wagin never imagined someone would play Radiohead 2000 years later. Lol. Brilliant
For decades, Radiohead's been the source of unconditional beauty, love and purity for millions of us mortals
Feels like under the ocean
Eaten by the worms and weird fishes?
Gracias, muchísimas gracias, y paz para todos.
Overwhelmingly beautiful, my face is soaked with tears.
Mine too 😳😳😳
✋same brother
And when the " I hit the bottom and escape" part comes in at 3:49 ... wow. this is probably the best version of Weird Fishes I've ever heard.
Check out Lianne La Havas' version... she's in tears at the end:

Cheers. Peace.
i am soaking wet - this is just beautiful
Exquisite and so moving. A perfect interpretation of one of the most beautiful songs.
My daughter and I refer to 15 Step, Weird Fishes and Reckoner as Radiohead’s Holy Trinity - we hope you will cover them all one day.
Such a beautiful trio of songs, such a good album, shuch a good band!
real
I absolutely love those 3 songs, and the whole album in general. Couldn't stop listening to it when it first came out. 😍
Wow I never realized how much the song can sound like rain, which is perfect for what it's about.
I love that there is musical paper turning! 🤘🏼
Not understanding the mechanics of the instruments makes this even more enjoyable. Thank you.
This is the most beautiful thing I''ve ever heard
One of those great covers that makes something new and beautiful with a song that has no room for improvement
That has to be one of the most beautiful covers of any song ever made. The arrangement was superb, the playing phenomenal. I realised I was holding my breath at one point! Just gorgeous. Thank you.
Perfectly translated the buildup and letdown of this song, which is what makes it so effective and painterly.Props !
unbelievably beautiful. So glad this exists

Wow. This is so beautiful...
I just wish that I could hear the dynamics better.
Friggin goosebumps

I am at a lost for words. This had to be filmed. Thank you!
Beautiful performance, and I'm glad those kotos are safe from covid
