Josh Cohen - Radiohead for Solo Piano II


Radiohead reimagined in an audiovisual spectacle.
Master of improvisation, Berlin-based Australian pianist Josh Cohen takes on legendary rock band Radiohead in this live show of remarkably inventive covers from the group’s famous back catalogue – interpretations that have gone viral on YouTube with more than ten million views and counting.
Performing against a visual installation custom-built exclusively for Cohen by AV artist Joshua Batty of MindBuffer, the visuals are performed and improvised in real time, ensuring every show is a unique experience.
Although fiercely protective of their reputation, it’s not surprising that Radiohead gave Cohen the green light to release two official songbooks and perform their songs around the world. Audacious in his approach to music and innovative in his playing style that ranges between classical and jazz, Cohen’s skills are truly dynamic, instantly elevating these iconic songs to a whole new level.

Praise for Josh Cohen
'Cohen’s songbook... the first of its kind officially endorsed by the band... [is] pure Radiohead: subtly orchestral; beautiful but unsettled.' — Broadsheet
‘Josh Cohen plays the songs of British band Radiohead on the piano. That’s it, that’s the whole show. And while on paper that may seem a little one-dimensional, in reality it’s anything but. In fact, in reality it’s a thing of real beauty as Cohen cuts and pastes, reimagines, extends and reinterprets what were already wonderful pieces of music to invent something completely new.’ — The Advertiser
