My bro and I agreed that if we had an electric violin, we would be the coolest kids in the world.
He wants something that looks as far from a baroque as possible. I just want one that sounds good.
“Rock You Like a Hurricane” on electric cello (by RebeccaRoudman)
My dream of playing an electric cello is back today.
This would form part of my anthropology/cultural studies thesis about the intersection of nerd culture and metal culture.

Holy crap.Sometimes I go to the Julliard website just to remind myself why I’d never get into their graduate program (or any kind of program).

Guys I really want an electric violin.
It sounds kind of like a guitar and violin made a baby.
It’s like the egg mcmuffin of instruments.

on pain
Violin = massive neck and shoulder pain. Need to find a really good teacher who can help with my posture, not just a professional player who teaches in their spare time. Once I have that sorted, I think there’ll be room for improvement.
I think that when I was growing I developed some poor habits, and I need to get out of them.
I hope this marks the start of something that will get better.
I remember the phone call my best friend and I had for at least three hours about how excited we were to start learning how to play a violin when we were in year two. We talked about how we’ve always dreamed of playing it and how we “remember” hearing someone play a violin, which from then on, it…
I’m scared of this. I haven’t played in years because I could tell the discomfort I was feeling was *wrong* and potentially damaging. This is why I need to find a good teacher to help adjust my posture to something better. I truly wish you the same. It’ll be there, it’s a skill that some people learn as adults, and if it’s worth it to you it’s worth seeking help. I wish you so much luck.
About me
I'm Andariel. My main blog is at andariel-axe.tumblr.com. I'm trying to relearn how to play my violin. This is where I'll collate my thoughts and resources. Would love to follow others who are similarly inclined. :)
I'm 23, born in Australia, very friendly and slightly reclusive :3
