Good morning, Nostr! Had the idea today to try a little left-hand finger cam 🎻 so you can actually see what’s going on. First I run a simple scale, and then a slowed-down version of “Kid on the Mountain” —you’ll notice how my fingers move up and down to change notes, and between the different strings. If you’re curious about the left hand, the right hand, or anything violin-related, drop me a question about it! Hope you’re having a great day! 🌞 #musicstr

Night!

GN Nostr 🌠 Sharing this happy jazz tune one more time before I drift off to sleep! I hope you enjoy “My Buddy” 💜

Woah! Cool!

Good afternoon, Nostr 💜 Sharing the jazz standard "My Buddy" again for the afternoon crowd 🌙🎶 A feel-good tune for a rainy day 🙂 I hope you enjoy!

Good morning, Nostr 🌧️ Today’s rain calls for a little comfort tune, so here’s “My Buddy”. A jazz standard with a much beloved version by Chet Baker, it was written in 1922 by Walter Donaldson with lyrics by Gus Kahn. I used to play this all the time in a duo with a guitarist, and today it popped into my head as a potential antidote to the rainy day blues. I play through the tune and then add a little improvised solo at the end. I hope this tune about friendship kicks off a positive start to your day! 🎻✨ #musicstr

GN Nostr 🌙 Wrapping up the day after sharing some viola sounds and a bit of chopping earlier. Loved getting back to that sound. Rest well everyone! See you tomorrow 🎻✨

I love Roals Dahl and grew up reading his books. I also love this quote because I’m literally a music maker! Violinist and composer posting daily music videos on Nostr 🙂

Thank you! 🙏

Good afternoon, Nostr 🌞 Back on the road again today, heading up to the festival in just a few minutes. Wrapping up my morning practice session and feeling good! It’s a gorgeous sunny day and I can’t tell you what a difference it makes that my violin is freshly adjusted, new strings, new bow hair … everything’s just ringing beautifully. Here’s a little improv that came out kind of happy and green and reverent. Grateful for the day! I realized I was playing in the Mixolydian mode without even planning it… it’s got that happy, green, and reverent sound. Just followed where the sound wanted to go. I’m feeling good and I hope you are too! Enjoy 🎻✨ #musicstr

Have a good evening!

Onward 🫡 💜🙏

That’s amazing!! I so appreciate your support and I’m especially glad my music has touched you 🎻😊✨💜 and thank you for saying so as well, it inspires me to keep going!

Thank you very much Dave 🙏💜

GN Nostr 🌙 Here’s a melody for slowing down, breathing deep, and finding sleep. Wishing you all a peaceful night. ✨⭐️🎻 #musicstr

So pretty

Thanks for reposting!!

GN Nostr 🌙💜 Got to jam out with Eric Clapton today 😁 🎸🎻 Thanks again to for the winning Improv Game idea. See you all tomorrow for more music ⚡️

Haha so fast!! 🤣

GM Nostr ✨💜 This video is in response to 's “guess the song challenge” challenge! Here is my submission below… insanely obvious… but still fun! Also I definitely effed it up at the end and let it degenerate/evaporate into some quintessential Matthias improv 😅 So what song am I playin’?? Comment below. Lastly, I nominate to drop a song for the challenge. Have a beautiful day!☀️ #musicstr

Good evening Nostr! ✨ Feels good to be back on my huge viola today after a week playing on a much smaller instrument. Exploring the “chop” percussive groove technique and the deep resonance this instrument gives me. Hope you have a relaxing evening!
