Dubstep Violin Originator - The Mad Violinist (improv) - Bassnectar & E.Goulding Lights

This is all improvisation straight from my soul. Took me a min to get into it so forgive my first minute lol, but once I locked in, then I was ready. Also check out my new Adele Skyfall cover

New Top 10 Electronic album Fiend currently on iTunes, Amazon and other digital outlets. Please purchase and support pure and original music. Thank you.

Shot by Sam King of Million Dollar Dreamz. Shout out to the homie Damon Anderson for killing the lighting on this video so you all can see me. (Im Dark)

A dozen years later and this is still the best violin playing I've ever seen or heard.

[shadowedtraveler]

I can't stop watching. One of the most beautiful things about violin players is watching them play and how "lost" they get in the music. You are a joy to watch.

[Rorshacked]

his "not into it" minute is better than most people's best. mad respect for this guy

[infinitys]

my favorite of yours you mad wee guy.

sadly 90- 97 % of people who watch this will never have played violin, so
they won't/can't know how hard this is to do.
mad respect.
There is eternity written into this.

[TheMadViolinist]

It was because of a deal I signed. They made 40 of my videos private, and blocked them worldwide. I finally negotiated out and am back in full effect. Thanks for the support. -Peace & Blessings!

Everyone keeps bringing up lindsey stirling, but this - this is real talent,
not that I don't like her stuff - but this puts her tunes to shame.

Improvisation, subtle artistic dissonance, brilliant technicality.
Overall - really impressed by this, far beyond Lindsey Stirling's
more standardized - to the grain - stuff anyway.

5 years, 6 days later and i'm still listening to this.

[TheMadViolinist]

Yes. In 2011, my buddy e-mailed me some dubstep songs as I was on a venture to create and launch dubstep violin, and I instantly feel in love with this song. I called my camera crew "Million Dollar Dreamz" over to my house and 25 mins later, I recorded this video. I had about 10 shots on hen, and went in from the soul. We kept the first and only take. After that, I coined the phrase "Dubstep Violin" and made it a regular thing.

[TheOnlyXetron]

Just thought of this song. 9 years later it's still there and still extraordinarily beautiful.
Man this gives me childhood flashbacks..

[cirvin]

MIND. BLOWN. talent. WOW. Chills, and mouth on the floor.... God I love these random side bar clicks that lead to such great music.

[YESHAYA_]

hey yo, I never saw you in life. But I know you used to be christian. I know that because even though you are not walking on this path anymore, I sensed a powerful anointing coming from your melodies. Screw the church who hurt you in the past, The Lord wants you back. Praying for you from now on. While you were playing, I saw God receiving your tunes like an offering of worship. You got potential

[Nowthats]

Heard this many times and it never gets old. Awesome job!

[TheMadViolinist]

Hey all! Thanks for tuning in on my improv. Please make sure you all check out the Bruno Mars - Locked Out of Heaven unplugged cover I posted this week. Please stay in tune. Cheers!

[artbylucentgem]

I've seen this before, and found it again today while referring a friend to your music. This is one of my favorites of yours. It's so passionate and full of life. It's brilliant. You are brilliant. Thanks for sharing.

[carl.]

12 year's on an I'm still going bk to this tune an it still makes my hair stand up on my arms brilliant 🔥

[novalinnhe]

I am absolutely in *love* with this guy. He deserves all the Grammy nominations (five apparently!!) and views he can get. "Virtuosic" does not even begin to describe the level this guy is at, and it genuinely makes me despair that there are instrumentalists out there who couldn't play anything close to this, but get much more recognition... because their videos are more flashy! :(

Share this guy with as many people as you can because a talent like this MUST NOT go bloody unnoticed!

[devilmaxver]

That's how we should play violin. Music shouldn't be restricted by sheets. This is FREEDOM!!

[ashleydavis]

Couldn't have said it better. Every single time I get the chills. I fell in love with the Electronica world years ago bc it made me FEEL alive. And I can say that man put his soul into that and it resonates in me everytime.. reminds me why I'm here. Lol sorry didn't mean to put the feels on but..love!!

[Trymie]

This is fricking amazing!!! I just keep coming back to hear you play this! I hope to learn violin soon!

[RighteousJ]

I found this again after more than a few years.

Something kinda "clicked" with me about your description. This might be "improv" and you say "you took a minute to get into it". But...

In order to sell this performance as your own, you had to compliment the original artist first. Taking your time is key. When you "locked" in, that's when you took over the performance, which was the goal. Without that initial lead-in, this wouldn't have come across half as well.

You have natural talent, sir. You always have.
