28 Parliament Street.

Students at the Newark School of Violin Making battle to prevent the scrapping of lodgings/workshops at 28 Parliament Street. The building has been a boiling pot of creative violin making since the seventees. The kitchen table has been tagged with carvings of the dozens of violin makers that have lived and worked there.

21.c violin lecture

Experimental prototype violin debut in Alexandria

Lecture on violin technology and architectural influence, resonance, acoustics at the Library of Alexandria, Egypt with Andreas Eggertsen and Kjetil Thorsen in october 2009.

The talk centered on the history of instrument making and the use of technology such as CT scanning and Modal Analysis in further understanding the workings of the violin family instruments, as well as describing a collaborative project between Olafur Eliasson, Andreas Eggertsen and Hans Johannsson. The project involves studies on the connection between harmonically induced shapes and sound propagation. The talk culminated in a performance of the second prototype of a violin based on these ideas, played by Kalid Oweida of the Library of Alexandria Orchestra.
