Jon Rose vs. Tchaikovsky (via John Oswald)

John Oswald of Plunderphonics fame (aka Audio Piracy As A Compositional Prerogative: plunderphonics.com) once said: "If creativity is a field, copyright is the fence."

Jon Rose plays fences as musical instruments with a violin bow.

This video shows what happens when the two collaborate and even involve the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra in their mischief (and general cultural terrorism) and apply it to Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 35.

This material was shot during production of Steve Elkins feature documentary "The Reach Of Resonance," which features Jon Rose, but none of it was used in the film. A trailer for "The Reach Of Resonance" can be viewed here: vimeo.com/15182524 Shot and edited by Steve Elkins Produced by David Marks
