DBR & DJ Scientific Rocked The Stage
Is it really possible for the violin and the turntable to coexist?
I found out tonight that it surely can — in abstract, experimental forms that fuse together influences from classical to hip hop to funky electronica.
I didn’t know what I was in for when I took my seat to see DBR perform last night. With his ordinary looking six string violin, he possesses the ability to turn it into a bass drum, snare, guitar, flute and the manipulation of human voices. I never could have imagined the things you can do with such a simple, classic instrument such as this. The sounds he created mixed in with the purely technological beats pumping out of DJ “The Mad Scientist” Scientific’s knobs and turntables. I could feel my chest thumping from the hip hop beats and the beat box. When it came to particular movements in his six part sonata, my ears felt as if something so sweet had seeped into my pulsing head. To top it off, his charm and charisma kept the audience interested and involved throughout the evening. He was quite accessible after the performance and seemed like it was just another day at work for him.
I’ll be remembering this night for awhile. The poetry. The musical madness. The straight-up head banging it’s caused me. I can’t sleep.
