Kishi Bashi - On Composition (Berklee Intervals)

Berklee Alumnus Kishi Bashi discusses the creative process behind his latest album, Omoiyari. The album inspired his creation of a songfilm of the same name, which explores the history of Japanese Americans during World War II, minority identity and the shared human experience. Kishi Bashi was interviewed at Boston's Paradise Rock Club before performing a sold out show.
