| I have seen this guy play live 6 times over the last 3 years. He never fails to blow me away with his unique style. He plays an electric violin. This means he can hook up effects pedels like wah-wahs, reverb, and even loop himself live on stage. At times it might sound like 5 violins playing, but he's the only one playing! He not only plays a custom-made SIX string violin (most are 5)...it's electric like an electric guitar....but the real kicker is that it's WIRELESS! He will walk amongst a crowd playing and getting right in front of you and making eye contact go off on a riff just for you and then walk off to another person. The freedom this adds to a live show is amazing! Here's a short bio I found that does a good job explaining him.. Quote:
http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu...oid=2032220727 Here's another in which Castle is looping himself and using a wah wah pedel.. http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu...oid=2027800516 Both of the above videos were taken by me in person at a weekend of shows up here in Alaska... Finally, here is a professionally shot music video of the song called "Float Downstream"...this song has nearly 6 seperate parts, but he records/loops and plays them all. He even plays his violin with his fingers ala a guitar...It's insane. http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu...oid=2023105971 Check this guy out, it'll blow you away. Easily one of the best violinists out there right now. He's even a cool guy to talk music and stuff with--very personable.
