Yeah, I'm Alex Mitchell, an electric violinist with a crappy home-recording setup. Yes, that's right - all this music was played on a violin. I play a Yamaha EV-205 5-string electric violin, which I run through a Digitech RP300A multieffects processor to get some crazy sounds. I decided to get a purevolume simply for organization; it's a good way of sorting the songs I have.

Now, just because I play a violin doesn't mean my stuff is classical - far from it. I switched to electric 'cause I really can't stand most classical music. Eventually I'll get some rock-type stuff up and blow you all away :-D

Right now I'm working on composing/recording my first album, Innsbruck Suite, in addition to smaller projects. The suite will probably have around 7-9 songs, and the official album cover will be done by Carol Lee, an insane graphic artist (a preview is shown above). Depending on how much work I've got, it'll probably be released late October to mid-November. This music is definitely different; choosing a genre was difficult, as the electric violin has an insane range of sounds. Hope you enjoy.
