The object of my obsession
You must be wondering, why would a guy, who mostly listens to metal and heavy metal music, be interested in violins?
I myself i have no answer to this, since i was a child i was obsessed about violins, the sound of the violin just makes me high, it almost hypnotizes me. When i hear the sound of a violin, i can almost feel its music through my blood. Violin is simply magical for me.
With a violin, i feel like a snake being charmed.
Enfin bref, all that said, i unfortunately don’t own a violin (my mom promised me one, and i am still waiting… since 10 years). I thought that with time this obsession will go away, but it just became more and more obsessive…
Bits of violin music which i have liked are:
- The piece with violin in the bollywood movie soldier (yup, i rarely watch bollywood movies, but i just couldn’t resist that piece of violin played in that movie).
- Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto, 3 (by Carrie Rehkopf (she’s great))
- Mozart’s Sonata K304 ( by :p your’s truly Carrie Rehkopf)
- The violin bits in Queen of the damned (OMG, I will sell my soul to learn to play like that!)I have uploaded a sample of that : violin1 and violin2
*Plus a few others which are not on my head right now.
All this to say, I looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove violin, and i wish to learn how to play violin, I shall put in a lot of time to learn it, ohhh god, i am just getting crazy here listening to this youtube video:
Rock with a violin!
Lestat and the gypsy (oh well, i know queen of the damned didn’t respect the historical line, but it was a great movie nevertheless):
Comments are welcomed :p (free violin course vouchers are also welcomed :p)

This was… unexpected…
Everyone is free to like whatever they want, right? Even geeks/hackers that love heavy metal and all can like classical instruments…

Oh violins! These are something else altogether
Good violin players are a rare and special breed, and it’s true that hearing them play is simply gorgeous! =)
btw, you are interested in learning western music or Indian classical? If it’s the second one then you should try contacting Mr. Sasidar at the Mauritius Tamil Cultural Center…he’s a god!
and yes, if i remember correctly courses there are still free.
