Well, holy shit. Check his other videos too.
Note the place the tone of viola tends to strike the body–I get it in my shoulder blades–what about you?
[Instead, have a very silly cover of a lady Gaga song… very undramatic, straight-faced, split screen version.

An excerpt of the musician’s technical notes, which go on to explain how he did the video:
This video is featured in a commercial promoting the 52nd Grammy Awards on CBS … also seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEFgSV36vnA
Lady GaGa : Poker Face – VIOLA TRIO COVER (split screen) * “HQ” — Make sure you watch in “High Quality”
This is the 11th video in my continuing series of classicalized popular music. The song was requested by so many people its hard to point the finger at any one. The original video of the song may be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQ5uCfwK6qw
This performance is the 6th of my split screen videos where I play with myself, and the 2nd where I play a trio with myself. It’s all about the viola this time, just like Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No.6, a concerto for strings, yet it features no violin parts. I steal my ideas from the masters of course. To do this video, I listened to the original song and by ear wrote out a sheet music score, then arranged it as a trio for 3 violas, and then performed it. I recorded each part separately. I was able to sync up and mix the 3 parts on my computer with a sound wave editor…
Yes, that’s where I’me feeling the response to the viola too. Interesting!
