Audiophiles who were intrigued by “151a” — the trippy, melodic debut album by violinist/singer/songwriter Kishi Bashi — are in luck. The classically trained artist is in the midst of a tour celebrating the 10th anniversary of its release.

The tour comes to the Thunderbird Cafe and Music Hall in Lawrenceville for a show at 6:30 p.m. April 2.

Prior to going solo, Kishi Bashi — the pseudonym of Seattle-born Kaoru Ishibashi — played with the indie-pop band of Montreal and was a founding member of the electro-pop group Jupiter. He also collaborated with Regina Spektor and Sondra Lerche.

Met with critical acclaim, “151a” has been reissued for the anniversary. As for the tour, Ishibashi said, “For many people, it’s a nostalgic thing and I knew there would be a lot of excitement around it.”

The album title riffs off the Japanese phrase “ichi-go ichi-e,” roughly translating to “one time, one place,” reflecting songs performed and produced exclusively by Ishibashi.

The album explored Ishibashi’s cultural roots, using Japanese refrains as a compositional and textural device on songs such as “Bright Whites” and “It All Began With a Burst.”

Its best-known track probably is “I Am the Antichrist to You,” featured last summer on Adult Swim’s animated sci-fi sitcom “Rick and Morty.”

On stage, Ishibashi and friends are playing the album straight through, but with a few new twists.

“Some of the songs, we hardly ever do (live),” he said. “With a lot of the songs, we’ve worked out really exciting versions over the years. We know that if you’re expecting the next song to start in a certain way, it’s exciting to pull it off in a new way.”

The show also includes music from Ishibashi’s other albums, including 2014’s “Lighght,” 2016’s “Sonderlust” and 2019’s “Omoiyari,” and the 2020 EP, “Emigrant.”

The tour band includes Tall Tall Trees, the pseudonym of vocalist and banjo player Mike Savino; cellist Emily Hope Price; and drummer Josiah Wolf of hip hop/indie band Why?

Long based in Athens, Ga., Ishibashi, 46, is in the process of relocating to the Santa Cruz mountain area of California. His musical influences are wide and varied.

“Through high school, I was really serious about classical music. I played in a lot of string quartets and studied composition,” he said.

He studied engineering at Cornell University before transferring to Berklee College of Music in Boston.

“Jazz, violin and improvisation, that was my thing,” he said.

Though he was “good at math and technical things and problem-solving,” Ishibashi’s heart wasn’t in engineering — but there were cultural and familial expectations behind his choice.

“That’s the kind of thing a lot of Asian kids do,” he said. “Your parents want you to have a stable job — show me an Asian kid whose parents want them to go into the arts — and my dad’s an engineer.”

He said his music reflects “a balance of creative abandon and technical, theoretical things” and benefits from both.

“I like big melodies and I think that really comes from classical music, like Tchaikovsky, and growing up with the most soaring melodies that have survived centuries,” he said. “Of course, I love every kind of great songwriting, like The Beatles. I’m a huge Paul McCartney fan.”

The psychedelic sounds have their roots in Pink Floyd.

“I also was a metalhead in high school,” he said.

When the pandemic shut down live performance, Ishibashi sought out inspiration of another sort.

”I had an RV camper that I never got to use because I was so busy touring,” he said. “So when there was no live music, I took the camper out and took my daughter (now 16) with me.

“For the last two summers, we just drove around the country to a lot of open spaces, really discovering a lot of places that I would never have gone to with a tour, like South Dakota, Wyoming and Montana.”

So impressed was he that he spent last year living in Montana.

“I really fell in love with the vastness of this country,” he said.

Doors open at 6 p.m. for the Thunderbird show. At Ishibashi’s request, attendees must show proof of covid vaccination. Negative tests will not be accepted.
