first movement; overture [ video ]

[ The room is dark - well, dimly lit. Someone appears to have taken pains to shut as much light out as possible without actually moving anything, but it doesn't do that much.

The person responsible for the broadcast moves into the view of the camera, seemingly unaware of it. Their face can't be made out - not that it could anyway, as they're not facing the camera.

There's enough light to discern that this person is wearing a black, slightly ragged suit, contrasting nicely with shoulder-length white hair. There's the rustle of cloth, the soft plink of a string, and a violin briefly comes into view as they raise the instrument to their shoulder, bow in the other hand.

A slightly shaky breath, and then they put bow to string, pausing for a brief moment.

And then the violin sings. This performance goes on for quite a while.

What may be impressive is that the whole thing is played perfectly; no hesitation or stumbling. When the person is finished, they lower the violin, and the broadcast ends.

The name attached to the broadcast may be familiar to some people.

You'll find yourself in good company, here.

You're a professional, or...?

'specially if you don't mind more modern genres.

That so? [He's intrigued now...]

[Yep. New favourite person. Just look at how Pink's face lights up, the glitter in his eyes as he thinks about the on-stage, the artistic uses for something like that. (What, there's other ways to use a power like that? Whatever.)]

Fucking -- that's incredible.. Is that you? Or the violin?

[Pink tends to lean heavily on the 'artist' side of the 'mad artist' trope. This is the kind of thing he eats up.]

Fantastic.

[Mate, he's already got a half dozen ideas for how to incorporate 'violinist that can shatter glass (and other things)' into a stage show. Forcefields would have him just sitting and giggling to himself for a few minutes, over the sheer possibilities.]
