No CCTV Sunday #1 Fence Music

I had decided starting from today, every Sunday is “No CCTV” day.

Sunday will be reserved for movies, music, books review, hobbies, food & beverages, traveling, investment, new ideas, new product (not CCTV gear) etc.

Lets jump start our very first No-CCTV-Sunday with this bizarre but wonderful music played by a British-born, Australian-affiliated violinist, Jon Rose. Enjoy.



Here are some press quotes;

"Fence music creates Australian soundscapes and liberates troubled hearts. "
Sydney Morning Herald

"Jon Rose is more than simply a curiosity, he molests our sense of profundity."
El Pais, Spain

"There's not much Rose doesn't know about the violin. The rest, he has invented."
Artforce Magazine

"Jon Rose's Music from 4 Fences brought the concert to a thrillingly visceral close, with Kronos scraping their bows along amplified wire fences. The symbolism of creating music from barbed wire - in a program inspired by conflict - was inescapable, giving the work a resonance that echoed in the mind long after the final notes had disappeared."
Melbourne Age
