What takes 3 players, backwards bowing, and complete synchronization? A Triolin. The mutant child of Alex Sobolev is called the Triolin. I played the violin for seven years so I know how hard those things are to get right. I cannot fathom how one is to play a triolin (but I guess if you bow backwards, play the notes backwards, and get your two best friends together you can give it a go).





"Challenging the notion of the violin as a solo instrument, the Triolin encourages its players to move beyond visual and aural communication by creating a space that requires direct physical interaction," says artist Alex Sobolev.





For sure it looks good, but one must wonder how it sounds.
