Have you ever heard Radiohead’s music like this? Gorgeous arrangements for a modern 18-piece big band expand Radiohead’s music into a stunning and fresh tonal palette.
Radiohead’s music has lent itself—almost uniquely—to painting on varied sonic canvasses, from solo piano, to jazz quartet, to chamber orchestra. This event sheds new light on the songs, using the incredible dynamic range and varied timbral colours of a contemporary big band.
Similarly, the big band has proven itself a versatile musical vehicle. If you’re unfamiliar with the format, come prepared to be blown away by a 13-piece horn section. Either way, come prepared to have your expectations expanded with these sublimely beautiful re-imaginings of Radiohead’s music.
The sounds from this evening will stay with you for days, months and years to come—a new soundscape to carry with you wherever you go.
