A solo piece for prepared violin and video addressing the violin as an inhabitable architectural and acoustic space. The exploration of experimental modes of playing including preparing the violin by placing bow hairs around the strings and playing with the violin on a table top asks the performer for a rather physical engagement. The video projected in sync with the music suggests links between the geometric lines in the violin structure and spaces such as railways.
