KASHIWA Daisuke released their concert ‘STELLA’ onto YouTube today. The modern classical and ambient composer brings along a pianist, string quartet and live drummer to join them on stage for a truly cinematic experience. The concert was recorded in Almaty, Kazakhstan in August 2023 and has some truly epic moments. It’s not often an artist meshes rock and dance percussion with a string quartet and classical piano live so this release really stuck out as being an experience to savour. Part of this comes from Daisuke’s live electronic manipulation of the instruments, adding flair and additional effects like music boxes into the mix.
