Cinza - Alone

Buenos Aires, Argentina, 03/12/09. Arrived in Pistarini airport at around 2300 hours after much delay and confusion. I get on the bus that will take me to the hotel booked by the airline. I take a seat next to the window, look outside, and find myself feeling immensely alone.

Jon Rose at the People's Culture Palace, Sydney, 29/11/09.

A short video of the incredible concert 'Palampolin' by musician Jon Rose.

"Since 1987 Jon Rose has pioneered the exploration of interactive electronics through a series of violin bow powered MIDI compositions.

In 1998, he became the first violinist to manipulate iconic violin images and live video at the end of his bow.

Now utilising the latest in violin bow technology, surround sound, and media, he puts his virtuosic violin technique to the test in a new series of challenging interactive environments. Central to this performance is the use of the new fibre carbon K-bow fitted with accelerometers, an antenna and emitter that gives precise positional information, a force sensing resistor that measures bow hair pressure, a bow grip sensor, and bow gesture recognition software - all sent wirelessly via Bluetooth to computer."
