I thrive in movement, motivated by mobility.
My violin and I, when on our best terms, resemble a relationship of cat and person. The softness of my fiddle is akin to the silky, airy stroke of a fickle feline who might lavish in serene pleasure one second and then rrrraaahhaarr, spasm into unforseen fury in no time at all...........................bach to brazil to bela to breakbeat. it's a new world.
