Mr

I grew up playing acoustic violin, but was introduced by my son to electronic music, and for the last 12 years have been playing almost exclusively on my 5-string electric violin. I love creating different sounds and tones with a whole variety of effect pedals and sound processors. My main influences have been classical, but I also love folk/ world music, particularly Hungarian and Irish. I have enjoyed creating music videos for YouTube. I usually compose with a specific concept in mind, often following the text of a poem or the meaning behind a work of art.
