Violectric
What happens when a classically trained violinist gets his hands on an electronic violin? You might be surprised . . .
I'm putting samples of my work in places like SoundClick to network with other musicians. That might lead to collaborations and who knows how much more?
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Only played a few public gigs so far. Quite different from playing in a chamber orchestra!
Do I like it? Absolutely - nice to just have fun and cut loose.
Your musical influences
I grew playing classical, so that was huge. First stumbled on electric violins through Nigel Kennedy (the album "Kafka"). I also really enjoy the flamenco / eastern style of Jesse Cooke, and the work of his violinist: Chris Church.
What equipment do you use?
Currently I am playing an original hand made electric violin.
Anything else?
Like many cross-over (from classical) musicians, I am very attracted to improvising. So that is something I am really exploring . . .
