About Sybarite5:
"Their rock star status is well deserved, theie classically honed technique mixed with grit and all out passionate attack transfixes the audience...” That is how The Sarasota Herald Tribune described SYBARITE5, the first string quintet ever selected as a winner of the Concert Artists Guild International Competition. Comprised of Sami Merdinian and Sarah Whitney, violins; Angela Pickett, viola; Laura Metcalf, cello; and Louis Levitt, bass, Sybarite5 has taken audiences by storm all across the US, forever changing the perception of chamber music performance. From the moment their bows hit the strings, this quintet of talented, diverse musicians takes the audience on an exciting ride that engages the senses and redefines the rules.

That Ed backing vocals is gorgeous

[@User-xw6kd]

Radiohead's compositions are brilliant and they transition excellently to orchestral/classical music.

[@SmashedBottleMan]

They absolutely do. Many artists' songs sound "nice" when orchestrated; but there's something about Radiohead's songs that sound as if they were almost made for it.

[@gundgunderson]

It’s all Jonny Greenwood!

[@nolanr7679]

Jonny is huge on orchestral music. He's scored a few movies. He did the master and there will be blood, both incredible movies with incredible scores.

[@iW4FFL3Z]

@@nolanr7679 don't forget Phantom Thread

[@gabrielfynsk]

This is by far the best classical-instrumentation arrangement of Weird Fishes. Often the arpeggiated line is far too loud while the percussive line maintains a drum kit (which can feel out of place and overbearing). Here the most important elements are actually translated and brought out. Huge props to the bassist! The pizz section of the bridge was also particularly beautiful. Congratulations!!

[@sybarite5videos]

Thanks Gabriel!! ❤❤❤

[@9516cesar]

eeeeeeed

[@donato4282]

[@rodrigocunha2921]

[@sadierobinson9192]

This group came to my school and they are AMAZING!!!

[@Agent-47-eh]

I really hope someday you guys actually collab with Radiohead, I'd pay all my money to see weird fishes orchestral version

[@sybarite5videos]

That would totally rock our world.

[@avg5931]

OMG that was beautiful! One of my favorite song of In Rainbows, I Love it!!!

[@muhammudghulaamyaseen865]

Play this as an intro then Radiohead join in with all guns blazing.

[@sybarite5videos]

We're ready!

[@KitwiSauce]

THIS NEEDS MORE VIEWS

[@sybarite5videos]

Agree!

[@Ajixxxx]

Feel weird the time signature

[@kodymiller1907]

It's 4/4 so it really shouldn't feel weird to you, unless perhaps you just wanted to seem cool by "picking up on it"

[@sybarite5videos]

Its in 4/4 but lots ties over the bar lines for sure! Very sneaky @radiohead!

[@ivonnecortez1366]

This music is amazing. I love it. You are awsome

[@sybarite5videos]

Radiohead is awesome

[@steelhere5519]

[@sybarite5videos]

Gracias Omar!

[@hannahcompton2337]

Does anyone know where I could find sheet music of this song arranged for a string trio or string quartet?

[@marcelocsantos7]

deserves a 10000000000 likes!!! and views!!!

[@shaynegreen]

❤️

[@musicalman1995]

To me they are rushing heaps but still great performance.

[@DoveWrestler]

They are playing about 15 bpm faster than the RH version. I think that's a stylistic choice and intentional. I enjoy the frenetic/on-edge feel it gives to this string ensemble imagining of the piece, but I'm sure it's not for everyone.

[@musicalman1995]

@@DoveWrestler I acknowledge its being played faster than the original, but they still seem to speed up dramatically throughout the performance. It's a minor critique, but I find it very noticeable.

[@conmole6778]

No recontrapinches mames! Hermoso ensamble 💓

[@sybarite5videos]

Gracias!

[@aliasoma]

$%^&ing brilliant.

[@BraeburnTV]

Not quite my tempo

[@grrrohmy665]

i feel like they were struggling to keep up with the tempo like the beat but otherwise this is an excellent breath taking performance 💗💗💗

[@jsemail894]

Now if only rock bands could cover Beethoven’s string quartets…. Then we’d be on to something

[@rodney0nline]

This version actually drove me to tears, and I have no explanation beyond how deep it touched me.

[@sybarite5videos]

Big hugs to you Rodney ❤️

[@jstroskie2441]

This is fantastic and deserves more likes. 4 people got eaten by the worms

[@sybarite5videos]

Thanks JS ❤️❤️❤️

[@danielknower4774]

If you 5 ever come to Oregon I will buy you all a drink! You are so stinking cool.

[@sybarite5videos]

We're coming to Portland next season!

[@IuriMrs]

FUCKING JESUS THAT'S A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! Astonished by your talent. As good as the original, and that is saying something.

[@sybarite5videos]

Thank luri!

[@eldruidacosmico]

The adaptation is amazing, but there's no need to blaspheme.

[@brandbird]

@@eldruidacosmico there's always need for blasphemy

In the deepest ocean
The bottom of the sea
Your eyes
They turn me
Why should I stay here?
Why should I stay?
I'd be crazy not to follow
Follow where you lead
Your eyes
They turn me
Turn me on to phantoms
I follow to the edge of the earth
And fall off
Yeah, everybody leaves
If they get the chance
And this is my chance
I get eaten by the worms
And weird fishes
Picked over by the worms
And weird fishes
Weird fishes
Weird fishes
I'll hit the bottom
Hit the bottom and escape
Escape
I'll hit the bottom
Hit the bottom and escape
Escape

[@sybarite5videos]

Hit the bottom and escape #ftw ❤️❤️❤️
