FUTCH

Futch, according to themselves; ‘an unexpected constellation of musical minds and instruments’, is a project form the British-Australian violinist and maker of bizarre violin variations, Jon Rose. ‘From one moment to the next, his violin might sound like a subway car screeching to a halt, the wailing of Jimi Hendrix’s guitar, or a gently gurgling mechanical toy. From the cacophony arose memorable jazz riffs and Paganini style virtuosity’ (The New York Times).
