Silly tardigrade’s playing on the wrong side of the bridge. Do they teach nothing at tardigrade music school?
He’s playing Penderecki
TIL. Thank you!

The Threnody is definitely his most famous, but he has used that technique in some of his solo compositions for cello as well - example
Oh WOW!
That’s…something else entirely.
So violent! Yet also subtle and quiet.
Yields immediate visceral reactions.
The entire instrument is so thoroughly explored.
How does one remember such a piece?
Or keep the original bow and strings to the end?
Striking. Marvelous. Beautiful. I’m all for it.
An amendment of something conjured by it:
Threnody to the Victims of Health Insurance Companies.
It’s also not even a violin.
It’s hard to tell. It looks deep like a cello, but the bridge doesn’t look quite high enough. Maybe at the tardigrade scale stringed instruments are made a little differently.
