Ever wanted to wield your violin bow like a gardening tool for the soul? Welcome to Jims Bowing, a hands-on, high-joy workshop where the lawn is your fingerboard and the weeds are your inhibitions.
After years of sonic exploration and extended technique development and application, Charlie McCarthy returns with this freshly trimmed session on extended violin techniquesopen to fiddlers, violinists, violists, cellists and curious bowed string adventurers.
Learn how to:
Strike like a col legno ninja
Growl out subterranean subharmonics
Slide, shimmer, pulse, and echo with effects that push the violin into uncharted sonic terrain
Unleash the sad cat, turbobow, bariolage engine, and other secret tools from Charlies shed of sonic oddities
Bring your own instrument. No weed whackers required. Just a bow, an open mind, and the will to make noise.
Stick around after the workshop to see all these techniques in real-world application at the Djangos Tiger show: get tickets here: https://events.humanitix.com/django-s-tiger-trio-soho-arts-series?hxchl=hex-pfl
