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.

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.

@@nolanr7679 don't forget Phantom Thread

[@amadeusbintang6914]

That Ed backing vocals is gorgeous

eeeeeeed

[@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 ❤️❤️❤️

[@gabrielfynsk2250]

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!! ❤❤❤

[@sadierobinson9192]

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

[@danielknower4774]

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

[@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

[@brandbird]

@@eldruidacosmico who commented first?

[@jameshannagan4256]

This was very beautiful and I had a feeling it would transition very well.

[@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.

[@mark-stefaniw]

Love the way VN2 hands off the ricochet percussion to VN1 at 1:15, then to VC at 2:22; then to VA at 3:20

[@bashab3098]

Keeping that metronomic perfectly ❤

[@sybarite5videos]

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!

[@snailnight]

Сумасшедшая аранжировка, круто!

Please do a cover of airbag by radiohead that would be so awesome

[@sybarite5videos]

We have one... Never recorded it!

[@aliasoma]

$%^&ing brilliant.

[@samuelacevedo2226]

Play at Custom speed 0.8 enjoy

[@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.

[@Robert-kl2pp]

This is high art folks and the dancers are wearing their big girl pants. It can't get gooder.

[@sybarite5videos]

Thx Robert! we love playing this ❤️❤️❤️

[@jsemail894]

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

[@hannahcompton2337]

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

[@gagasaurio12]

Is there anyway to get the sheet music for this arrangement?

[@kaileyybrown]

My doctor apparently knows the guy who plays the double bass

[@salyssa7018]

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 ❤️❤️❤️
