Thanks!
I believe this is a great example of how the electric violin should be played. Just awesome - you are the violin on fire!!!
Dude I'm at a loss for words. I'm almost in tears. The pain you have in this song is amazing. If you ever do a concert I wanna be there
В каком-то моменте напомнило нашего Курехина. Браво!
I still come back to this masterpiece - 9 years later
Almost 7 yrs since I found this video, and it still gives me chills. I hope you're doing well Patrick!

I plan to play just as good.... but for now i must admit I've never felt more happy to play the violin... thank you very much for the music.
Dude, what a great job, felt like listening to the guitar playing riffs on.

Saw him perform live at a Michael Jackson tribute. He's an amazing violinist and and amazing performer at the same time. He puts his sole into the music. He interacts with the audience. He can even dance while performing. Traditional classical artists never innovate. Patrick Contreras can do classical and so much more. By far the violinist I've ever heard play in my 40 years alive
8 years later and I continue to come back to this video.

That is some of the most beautifully sad music I've ever heard
Off the chain with it!!! str8 bad ass version of this cut.
my bow hold is a mixture of 3 different styles. for classical influence i use a 'franco-belgian' hold..many americans use this ..itzhak perlman, probably the hold's best player...but i also use fiddle hold which i why i scoot my hand up just a little bit ..also a little big of romanian gypsy and celtic as well...someone in classical might see this as untrained..but i have spent much time developing my hand for the sound that i want.oh, before i forget.thank you for sharing a bit of your story :)

I mostly played classical. You ad a style the only seems undisciplined, in my opinion it is not only unique but its just great as any classical concerto but could be added to any Philharmonic and sound just as wonderful. Keep ip the good work.

The sound is so deep & addictive... Can't help but play it over & over.. Patrick Contreras got it going on....
When you speak through an instrument, put your soul into it, this is the out come... The story told is a deep one, that many cant undersrand, cant interpit the frequencies... Once you can open your mind, the emotions will flow and the story become clear... love it

LUV LUV LUV LUV THIS! You're a perfect example of why music and the arts should not be removed from our schools. Thank you Thank you!
Tranquility - "All my wants and desires melt away. My fears and inhibitions fall to one side. The armour I cinched to myself clatters to the ground piece by piece, quivering til it stills. For a moment that seems an eternity, I am pure spirit. Formless, without edges. Fading from the lines that shape me, fading into the dark abyss. Fading into the lines that make me, fading into nothingness." Good on ya, thanks for the journey boyo!
That's it, Im learning how to play the violin again!
