I've posted my first YouTube of my violin playing here.

It's a fairly simple rendition of the Irish tune "Girl That Broke My Heart", but with my typical improvisation, and now with my full digital violin setup. This setup includes a computer running a music program specifically designed for live performance (Ableton Live) and a footpedal to control it. The goal is to perform complex arrangements with multiple parts, all live, without 'cheating' and using pre-recorded tracks.

I first got inspired to do this by seeing Imogen Heap doing a live rendition of Just For Now, not doing just a standard "Looper" rendition, but actively bringing in prior parts and removing them in a sophisticated arrangement.

I'll post the details of my digital violin setup sometime.

But for now, just enjoy my venture into YouTube. Forward it to your friends, and we'll see how high we can get the viewings up to!
