I can't imagine how cool this would sound with a wah
somebody get this lady a crybaby, stat
Check out Hallucination Rain by Prince / NPG
You have summoned
The waluigi
Need to hear some wahiolin
As a violinist who does similar stuff the wah does sound pretty cool on violin but it’s a lot better suited to guitar and bass imo
You're totally right about the lack of electronic string (violin) players. One of the reasons I was drawn to your music was due to how you incorporated the violin into it! So beautiful 😍
that's because it sounds like ass
Just imagine how one could tweak an entire symphony orchestra, if everyone showed such creativity...
Because writing and playing symphony's isn't creative enough! lol
Johnny Digital Sure is, but interpolating tradition with new sparks of creativity might create new universes. Music is limitless for those with the ability of a free mind. I’m just an appreciating spectator :)
You wouldn't even need all members of the symphony to be able to create like that, really just a composer who knows the tech, or a good collaborator.
There are already plenty of people with the talent for it, so maybe the idea just needs to reach the right people. Could be anyone from Serj Tankian to Zedd to Danny Elfman to Trent Reznor to Hans Zimmer...
Jason Lieberman Film-scoring for sure, but I think there is room for more performers that compose and arrange in a transcending way too, still being melodical and not too experimental. An example is the 70’s group Ekseption.

Your violin looks like a post-modern assault rifle.
BAN IT
Looks like a MAG-7 to me.
the strings an finger board gives it a bit of an H&K XM8 feel while the shoulder rest and the profile fin under the fingerboard makes it look a bit like a futuristic Tommy gun.
"Can't help but stank face." lol
So true though.
I think it’s really cool how you’ve setup your signal chain. Something we guitarists have been tweaking for decades, our pedalboards are a source of almost insanity, a constantly shifting and changing soundscape.
It’d be cool if we could get a chamber strings orchestra pulling off some killer electrified and synthesized music
This would be so dope. Like, a live-looping string quartet of classically trained musicians, creating on the fly. Sounds cool in my head anyway.s... 🤷♂️
The amount of work you’ve put into your craft just radiates from you
This means so much! Thank you!
Can't agree more!
Thanks for the complete sound design walk through. Showing the tone building process and then demonstrating how your tone fits in a mix really hit home with me. I use to play electric/processed trombone in a Seattle jazz-rock fusion band and being able to cut through the mix when soloing always seemed to be a work progress. Your video makes it clear that all working musicians today have to have production chops. Kudos!
I just love this. Love your sound. The way you incorporate the violin in your music really makes it stand out and gives it a different vibe and atmosphere than just using synths. Pure genious.
Oh wow killer tones! Guitar is my main instrument; now I have to dig into my vast pedal collection and attempt to imitate some of the sounds you were shredding with. 🙌🔥🤘
I came right after listening to your music from the CZcams library. Thanks for providing good music :D
I grew up with Jean-Luc Ponty in my ears, so I appreciate a lot the integration of the violin in your electro compositions.
Bro this is fire fr
Sounds great, especially the short jam at the end where you can here the violin in context. Nice!
Awesome tone. Your presentation is amazing, lovable and confident, it translates in instant charisma 👏👏👏
The jam at the end reminded me of Robert Fripp's Frippertronics and his fretboard technics are reminiscent of the violin.
I wondered whether anyone else noticed!
New standard tuning is close to violin / viola tuning
It really does
I was just about to say that her playing reminded me of Fripp's technique. Fripp tends to do a lot of sliding and glissando on his guitar playing.
Wow! Integrating violin in electronic music, that resonated with me, as that's what even I'm trying to do. And thank you soo much for this video. Love you❤️
The pitch shifting down with the distortion actually sounds soooo cool!
I think you should try using just the violin dry signal with the distortion! Could make some sinister cinematic tones that have that characteristic violin timbre 😈
@Rohan Nair ahah thank you! Will do 😋
yooo the way I was rocking out to the ending is insane 💕💕
THIS IS IT. This is what I've been searching for for years. Something that could make my cello sound like some crazy cosmic catastrophe while still being able to play comfortably. Thank you for being so in depth and informative about something that barely anybody seems to do.
Two set: I sleep
Bad snacks: I LIVE
I probably would have stayed with the violin as a kid if I had known where it could end up. Love the sounds you get out of yours!
I love how much you love this stuff. I am also a player and have very similar feelings. Thanks for laying it out there.
I'm an electric guitar player, and a producer. and this came into my feed. This is fascinating to me, I had no idea an electric violin even existed.
There is a company of guitars called 'Godin'. They are a higher end Canadian company. They make a line of guitars that use a piezo pickup on each string. (similar to how I imagine the Eviolin works)
With the piezo pickup, they have a "13 pin output", and a regular output. What this is isn't important. I dont know myself. But what I do know is that the output of the 13 pin connector can be sent into a midi converter, and then sent Into something that accepts midi like a physical synthesizer, or even a DAW, where you can use a free Virtual instrument to control anything, whether it's a virtual synthesizer or a sampler or even chromatic recordings loaded into a sampler.
Basically, if this type of violin existed, where it had a piezo pickup on each string, and a 13 pin output, with some extra equipment you could even control vocal samples on your computer with your violin. Or anything really. A vocal sample was just a fun idea (you play C4 for example, and it will play a recording of you saying something until you stop "strumming" the string)
This would be fascinating.
I will be listening to your music. You have piqued my interest
Jean-Luc Ponty in 1987 with Zeta 5 string midi violin
czcams.com/video/1ADVyTPYQ9U/video.html
Carlos Cantini in 2018 with his Sonplus 5 strings EL/Midi violin
czcams.com/video/KNP_Qr_ONpM/video.html
The 5 pin and 7 pin midi violins do exist!
What you talk about is nothing more than advanced home-Casio. It's a midi / synth violin you see in the video. She showed a synth "voice" of some sorts. My home-Casio is on an iPad mini. To play synth/midi violin I find a piano in there to do it. My electrical guitar also plug into the iPad but works like a wave recording or similar to a microphone. Putting midi there serves no purpose with the other midi instruments and would end up like auto-tune work instead of playing guitar.
@@elektron2kim666 she is just playing on an electric violin, using a couple synth guitar pedals! While there are Midi violins out there, hers isn't one of them!
@@XIIMonkeysMusicGroup Maybe you are right. However, it's not unknown to her. The specific "synth" and that violin is something I need to look into before I comment more.
This is INCREDIBLE love your setup
You get some great sounds. Well done!
Love your way of creativity
Oh my God. How have I missed this? Brilliant!
Your setup is sonically goals
I love finding people with minds like yours. Inspiring ^_^
That jam at the end was so dope
This is sooo dope. I'm a keyboard player and there are plenty of examples of doing a sick solo on a keyboard with a pitch wheel and all kinds of tricks, but I had no idea you could do the same thing on violin. I didn't even know that electronic violins were a thing you could buy (some electronic instruments are very niche). I really like that since you don't have frets you can slide up and down, so when you're doing a solo it sounds more natural than a pitch wheel. Very cool, keep it up.
10:22 sounds kind of like a Black Sabbath riff
really enjoy your music - thank you
Really interesting setup! I heard about some of these pedals for the first time and especially the Organelle by Critter & Guitari is very fascinating.
Hearing the distorted violin makes me really want to see you do some queen like licks with the Meris Hedra, especially if you have a preset selector to swap between the harmonies! Great video, love seeing musicians push the boundaries of an instrument!
I had to sub just off the solo faces you make 😆 Your performance style is highly authentic!!
Thoroughly enjoyed this video👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Im coming form the CZcams Studio audio libary form your song "Fustrated" just wanted to say you make some amazing dope sounds!!!!! love them ! thank you so much
You’re so cool! Such a great musician. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us! Keep it up! I have liked and subscribed.
love this ! there is so much gatekeeping towards electric violin and other electric classical instruments, this video is really inspiring !
What do you mean by gatekeeping? English isn't my first language so I don't know what you mean 😅
@@ingridayarza elitism, an attitude that they're inherently inferior.
The sauce indeed. Such a dope video!
Always nice to show the pedals and effects , really helps out to see what all the gear is doing.
Those sounds at the end are awesome, sounds really dirty :) almost guitar-ish.
thank you so much for all this insight. would love to see you do a pedal video on the iron horse.
That's an awesome setup you got there!! ... 🙂
Wow I learned so much about e-violin through your video and love the effect material you've presented in there ! I would love to see a short video about how you set up your pedal with all the cables and so ! I am so looking forward to buy this material and try out new ways of playing violin! Thank you
Girl, You’re so dope! I LOVE IT
Holy Crap ... great tone! And niiiice playin
that is so cool!! very instructional as well. Thanks for putting this out
will you play Kashmir for us someday???
This has completely changed my understanding of synths and strings. That lead tone at 7:13 is sick! Defo gonna experiment with this in a heavier genre setting
The last thing you did blew my mind
ugh i love this so much
The old school synth geek in me fell in love at 4:08! Went MOOG on us! LOVE IT!! *Subscribed
I love these types of videos
Sick pedal choices. I love Empress Effects
nice violin skills and cool sound research!
As a violinist who loves chiptune music, you just filled my entire christmas wishlist.
10:02 is the coolest sound ever! Please tell me you're making a song out of that!
Love it!! As for unconventional instruments to use pedals..I play a trumpet (using a piezoelectric mouthpiece) through pedals, and the sounds are so unique..also the performance techniques of playing these sounds with a trumpet add that certain texture to the timbre....much like playing your violin with that electric guitar sound, there’s still a unique character as opposed to the traditional electric guitar.
Just discovered your channel, looooove your style. I'm a big fan of pedal effects, wah, harmonizers, synth-bass, but on sax. You're totally inspiring 👍🤟🌈✨
That violin solo at the end 🙌🏼❤️
Wow Thanks. Finally somebody talking about violin pedals. I've been trying to emulate my metal idols and it's very helpful. I'm working on a palmmuting item for the string instruments. Congrats
This was so informative! I would very much like to hear about the other pedals you use with your electric violin.
That Organelle guitar to arp patch at 70% is so awesome.
Hey Bad Snacks! I've been using some of your awesome music in some of my videos, thank you so much for being on CZcams Audio Library, subbing rn!
Talented, smart, and cute. Talk about dynamic. Keep up the amazing work.
This is an awesome video. I particularly liked the Iron Horse as I didn’t know it had three distinct compression setting. I shall have to check it out. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Simon Godfrey damn Godders, it’s a small world innit?
Very inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
I love your comment about the echo system being the "sauciest" 😂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Saucy lead tones indeed!!!
Bad Snacks, you are awesome! You mentioned that you could make your violin sound like an electric guitar. Yes, but a fretless one like a slide or lap steel. With your bow, you can sustain notes even better than a lap steel. So young and already so talented and mature.
Sounds really cool! 👌🏻☕️
Thats dope as hell!!
This is incredibly cool.
This is rad AF!
Awesome video!!
amazing, great job!
I just stumbled onto your video after watching Sierra Ferral vids.. BUT, I aint even hear a note yet but, love your tude and creative flair.....plus you iz aweful purdy and thats all a compliment!!
You are so fun to watch 😀
i clicked this video cause i saw all the pedals and this is easily one of the coolest thing i have ever seen
Damn, this video was awesome!!! 🤯 super tempted to get an electric violin now
Idk seems a little.... SACRELIGIOUS
Indeed it does.
Why? It's a toy. Musical instruments are toys.
@@estebanb7166 @twosetviolin (it's a reference)
@@xTrbo102x A reference to what?
Esteban B it’s a reference to Twoset Violin. They are another violin CZcams channel.
The violin in Ocean Avenue would sound sick with that synth/violin setting you showed first
I'm a simple man.
I see music video, I watch it.
New viewer here and also new sub. Keep up the great work and I'd love to see me violin jams in the future. It was so unique and definitely something I could vibe out and listen to.
I have no idea how I ended up here, but this is amazing. How have I not heard of this before?
Such a good video!! And pulled so many stank faces oh my god 😵
WOW, increible el sonido que podes crear con un Violin, me encanta, te felicito tocas muy bien.
Impossible to not make faces during tasty jams
Just for anyone playing with electronics; Guitar amps are a waste of time for violin, as much as bass amps are for guitar. The capacitors in the tone network have values tuned to the time domain characteristics of guitar. Making these an octave higher and using different speakers is essential - I was thinking of making a CZcams video about this.
Also, for the most natural feel from an electric violin, plug it into a Trace Elliot acoustc amp as the preamp is designed to correct the reactance of piezo electric pickups. This turns guitars from snappy, harshness into smooth tones. Plugging my electric violin in was like playing acoustically - really amazing!
I used to play violin but am a guitarist through and through.
You're right aside from the assumption that bass amps aren't good for guitar. Plenty of people play guitar through bass amps and it sounds great. Yes they are more designed for the lower frequencies a bass guitar outputs but that more has to do with the design of the speaker rather than the circuitry of the amp itself. (though not entirely obviously)
Beautiful tones. I make my guitar sound similar to your lead tone using a fuzz , flanger and a whammy pedal. So awesome!
I do the same thing with my synthesizers,
Effects are class for creating original sounds, I'm subscribed now, I'd love to hear more or your Effected instruments,
I'll go through your past posted videos slowly, but I'm always recording, so I'll slowly go through them, keep recording and keep posting, I'll be listening,
Glad to see and hear something Jean-Luc Ponty tried in the past, well done :)
wow! I need to explore this type of sound design with my guitar. I always find that it always seems out of place in some of my electronic music that is more synth heavy.
The stank face that launched a thousand ships. Loved this vid!!!
J G it's a literary allusion. Doctor Faustus
I would love to see you do a review on the Meris Mercury 7 reverb. I fell in love with the Hedra in your other video!
I was a cello player for about 6 years. I bet some of these pedals would be way cool on that too. But I gotta admit that you rock them really well on that violin.
This is the coolest video ever
I’m in love 😍
Alright bad snacks I’m learning the violin now you got me sold I want all of that now haha
This sounds awsome :-)
Electric Violin sounds really good with proper fx's :o
holy shit the jam at 10:47 is insane
