Justin Grounds

Violinist, singer and electronicist Justin Grounds describes himself as ‘a solitary purveyor of sound’ and yet experiencing him perform live you would be forgiven for imagining an entire orchestra on-stage. Sending his 5-string viola and (self-named) “cellolino” (strung an octave lower than a conventional violin) through a laptop, feet tapping on all manner of home-made pedals, he builds layer upon layer of rhythms and melodies into what STU magazine called ‘…a holy and magical crescendo.”
