One violin, a loop pedal, and a Bangkok crowd

Narration & commentary

Landes builds this street performance layer by layer, starting with a plucked pizzicato bassline that he records and loops with his foot pedal. He then bows long, sustained chords to establish the harmony before adding a third layer of rapid, rhythmic bowing. With this self-made backing track running, his hands are free to play the main melody over a dense and highly rhythmic accompaniment.
