As an international looping artist, the tools I choose are a direct extension of my creativity. My performances depend on pushing the boundaries of what a solo musician can do, which requires instruments that are as innovative and forward-thinking as the music I create.
This is why I am honored to be a 3Dvarius Ambassador. This isn’t just a title; it’s a partnership with a brand that stands at the intersection of high-end musical performance, technology, and contemporary art.
The Significance of a 3Dvarius Ambassadorship
My career is built on collaborating with industry leaders who are pioneers in their fields. This pursuit of international quality and forward-thinking innovation is why I am proud to be an ambassador for brands like 3Dvarius and my partners at Prim Strings.
Aligning with 3Dvarius is a statement. It represents a commitment to high-end, world-class performance standards. It allows me to bring a unique, modern, and visually striking experience to audiences worldwide, reinforcing the international quality that I stand for.
Custom 3Dvarius Electric Violins
My work as a looping artist requires instruments that are exceptionally versatile and precisely tailored to my technical needs. My performance arsenal includes two unique, custom-built electric violins from 3Dvarius, which serve as the core of my sound.
The "Line" 6-String: My Foundation for Looping
For a looping artist, the 6-string 3Dvarius Line is a complete game-changer. A traditional 4-string violin is limiting for building complex layers. This custom 6-string model provides a massively expanded harmonic and melodic range. It allows me to build deep bass lines and rich chordal structures, creating the full sound of a band, all from a single instrument. It is the absolute foundation of my layered compositions.
The "Prism" Custom: Visual and Sonic Innovation for Live Events
My second instrument is a unique, custom “Prism” model designed for high-impact performances. Visually, it is a work of art—it’s incredibly ‘vistoso’ (visually stunning) and becomes a conversation centerpiece at high-end social and corporate events.
More importantly, this one-of-a-kind build features a custom controller for per-string volume. This is a rare and powerful modification that gives me an unparalleled level of sonic control on stage, allowing for detailed mixing and sound-shaping in real time.
Performance Advantages: A Modern Violin for a Modern Artist
My choice of instruments is purely practical. The 3Dvarius line is engineered for the professional, and my custom models provide distinct, tangible advantages for my specific work.
| Feature / Advantage | My Expert Take as a Professional Artist |
|---|---|
| Expanded Range (6-String Model) | “Essential for my looping work. It provides the bass and chordal range needed for complex, multi-layered compositions.” |
| Unique Aesthetics (Prism Model) | “A visually stunning instrument. At high-end corporate and social events, its modern, ‘vistoso’ look is a key part of the performance.” |
| Portability and Size | “As an international artist, I travel constantly. The reduced, practical size and durable 3D-printed build make it the perfect road-ready instrument.” |
| Custom Technology (Per-String Volume) | “My custom Prism gives me studio-level control on stage. This unique feature allows for granular, live sound-mixing that is otherwise impossible.” |
A Shared Vision: Laurent Bernadac and the 3Dvarius Concept
A great partnership is about more than just a great product; it’s about a shared vision. My collaboration with 3Dvarius is also a direct alignment with its founder, Laurent Bernadac.
Laurent’s philosophy was not just to build another electric violin, but to completely redefine it as a high-end, contemporary instrument that merges cutting-edge technology with flawless design. This vision of pushing boundaries is what connects us. Being a 3Dvarius Ambassador means carrying that shared vision of innovation and quality forward in every performance.
