completely, xmas 2023 and still come back to this gem occasionally. played violin in my teen years and it motivated me. How does this vid only have 11k likes??
***** Hi Patrick, I love this Your performance! can I use it for a my video on go-kart? Please, tell me how I can do it in respect of Your copyright....thank You so much.....Samuele
hey man, I know its been a long time since you uploaded this vid, but what kind of processing effects are you using in combination with this violin? Thanks for all your uploads, the metal one is sick..
never mind my last comment, stupid me didn't read comments before asking. Already got it, Cry Baby + Mesa Boogie 2x12! Great job boss. I get a decent sound out of a Trainor 800 with 4x12 and a line 6 FX station.. Thanks again
I've listened to this probably 50 times in the past week and I still can't get enough of it. Thank you Patrick Contreras for making such an awesome sick tune.
This is absolute favorite piece by him. And even though I have listened to it a thousand times over, I will probably listen to it a thousand times more. Brings me into my own world every time. Absolutely fabulous!!!!!
Being someone who played violin for 5 years. This melted my heart it's so beautiful and unique. I haven't really seen people use electric violins (:! Kick ass dude.
the day i went in to shoot this. i had a whole different track in mind..sierra leone by mt. eden..i heard this by accident..ran through it once in my kitchen, and then the studio about 30 minutes later
I wish you hadn’t said this. It diminishes your music and your art and you as an artist as well as the people who learn from you. This is classic if you didn’t know already. And it’s one I teach my 5 granddaughters. So don’t be so cavalier. A true fan, Dee.
Used to play the violin when i was 6, then my dad died a year later and i kind of stopped because of it. Watching your video made me think of him and how much i missed playing the violin. Now i want to start playing again cause i forgot how awesome the violin sounded! Great song, keep doing what your doing! :D
I'm 32 and my 12 year old daughter just got me into dubstep. I have an eclectic taste in musics. I enjoy rap, R&B, hop-hop, metal, classic rock, slow jams, and even some Celtic and ethnic music. I have to say that this fits in very nicely. You have great talent and I hope that you continue to add more to the world of music.
this guy is still commenting on his video!?!?! I LOVE this guy and his talent, and it literally blows me away this guy hasn't been played more and lost his roots like most artists now-a-days..... as opposed to computer generated talent this guy has ACTUAL musical talent, which sadly is rare in the music business now...The fact that this guy is EXTREMELY talented, stays true to MUSIC, and is still here responding to us crazy people blows my mind. If you read this, much respect dude, you are amazing and I hope you continue to pursue this amazing ability of yours.
literally every song I have ever know pretty much grows old and overplayed with time, this remix/version of this song NEVER grows old. I could listen to it all day, and it will always blow my mind how we play more of Katy Perry (song and voice is completely altered by computer making the "artist" really not that necessary) than someone like Patrick's music, which takes actual skill, time and talent. You take anyone off the street, add the right sound effects and boom you get Katy Perry, but only a select few people are talented on a instrument to this extreme and actually are the ones for making ,music enjoyable, not some computer, I would love to shake Patrick Conteras hand and thank him for his love and dedication to music, a rarity now-a-days
No recuerdo cuando fue la última vez creo que hace 5 años ya ... Y despierta sentimientos de aquellos años me encanta ya casi finaliza 2024 y que siga esta melodía muy buena
One of the most intense and extraordinary Performances I've ever seen. Does he know he's a Super Star? Everyone who listens or watches certainly will. Wow Patrick, thanks for that.
Listened to it and it was awesome. It brought me to watch your House of the rising sun cover which actually made me tear up. Would love to see you live someday.
My son is 6.filked his heart... He came running in to see his fav guitarist ripping out... Then you stopped him in his tracks... "Come on!!?? Electric violin!?!? " I didn't know I could like this more! That was great!
Yes, please don't compliment on his skill. Just find something to complain about. Oh UA-cam... Awesome work Patrick. Love the vids and keep up the good work! :)
***** bombastic! haha…well hannah,.i can't say i completely disagree with your view, although keep in mind it has been over a year since i released this….please take a chance to view my new work (if i haven't lost you yet)…i shot a video in africa you might like, and have some simple things with just me, a mic, and a macbook…and no sunglasses ( which was more of a security blanket than a need because at the time i still got really shy with being on camera)
Oh how quickly you flip-flop after putting down the guy's fashion choice, lighting and "noise". Not to mention suggesting narcotics were necessary to enjoy it. If you're going to be rude, at least stick to your guns.
I'm not sure how I ended up here but after three hours of listening to this I still can't get enough. I appreciate you giving this to the world to see and as the old saying goes letter rip tater chip!
Ok, I stumbled across this on a search for Rise and Fall, and I have no word. Simply amazing. You mixed three of my favorite things, violins, electric instruments, and dubstep. A million thumbs up to you.
Hits the mind like a bomb. playin with your soul in this song. as soon as you key in the hair on my arm stands. my suggestion...market this song. you'll make the violin the the next must have. and you're it. keep it up.
Man, this is truly amazing. I normally do not jive on dubstep whatsoever, but this caught my eye. I have seen few musicians that wear the passion of their music on their face as much as you. Unbelievable.
thank you! I've been getting alot of comments about a duet with lindsey. honestly the best way to make that happen is to leave a comment on her videos saying you want this duet to happen...if there's enough of a wave, i know her team will see..her management wrote me earlier this year, i will do my part along with you guys and write them and see what happens!
After this you did what you had to do, most of us wouldn't have done, walk away. I just want to say I'm happy to hear and so blessed by your music. They and you are inspirational to me and my Granddaughter. Thank you!
Anybody else have this on their favorites? And have been consistently listening to it for years? No? Just me? 😅
❤️
I was scrolling through my favourites and found this again from over 10 years ago 😅 and now it's in my downloads and it's still equally amazing.
I honestly feel you bro this music hits totally different then other's like it actually talks to your soul and makes it feel relaxed and free
completely, xmas 2023 and still come back to this gem occasionally. played violin in my teen years and it motivated me. How does this vid only have 11k likes??
Certainly not just you
those quick rapid movements made the violin sound like a guitar :O
I had a cousin who played guitar and sounded that way. I wish he was still alive to see this amazing talent.
500,000 views! How awesome, thanks everyone!

One of the most intense and extraordinary Performances I've ever seen. Does he know he's a Super Star? Everyone who listens or watches certainly will. Wow Patrick, thanks for that.
Doesnt this sounds like an electrik gitar?
No.
Scott Hardman thx
yeah but its using distortions and stuff coz its an electric violin and i no coz ive got 1
Seriously Patrick, I get goosebumps every time I hear this, and I've watched this video hundreds of times.
between 00:13 & 00:59 is my favorite part..
Nic El Me too and bits of the fast chorus. It has almost an oriental feel to it. Wish there were two versions. Like a continuation of the beginning.
squishymonkey0518 good ear! There was a couple slides in there where I was imitating an erhu,which is a Chinese violin...your the first to catch that
Yeh it was amazing! I love that type of sound. Do you have any other songs with that sort of sound?
squishymonkey0518 thank you! yes i do .. try this one - ua-cam.com/video/_78xY_rKiU0/v-deo.html
Listened to it and it was awesome. It brought me to watch your House of the rising sun cover which actually made me tear up. Would love to see you live someday.
You blow every other EDM violinist out of the water! Keep it up!
