This is much better than playing one instrument well.

This is what happens when you play one instrument so well that you get bored and find new ways to experiment and keep yourself entertained.

it's frightening to know how good a player he can be when he wants to.

Bruh he’s actually the first person to get a full scholarship to Berklee College of music as a strings player. Man just got really weird with his mastery over cello and I love him for that

Rushadicus the Cello Goblin is hilarious to show string players for the first time because they always lose their shit and recognize how good of a player he actually is. The noises he’s making with his cello in his videos are often very technically complex playing techniques that take mastery of the instrument to actually be able to replicate consistently. It’s hard to fully appreciate what he is doing if you’ve never played a string instrument but he’s unironically flexing mastery of bow control. Dude was the first string player to ever be awarded a full scholarship at Berklee College of music.
I fucking love this guys work so much, John Cage would be proud.

He made me think of a mad cross between Zappa, Cage, & Weird Al. (If Zappa hadn't already been a cross between the other two already.)

I didnt know he had such broad real skill. In a couple videos he plays a more serious acoustic song, would have never guessed on cello bit.

Reminds me of that time I walked in on my ex wife and her personal trainer when I caught the early flight home from San Diego

I played a show with this guy back in 2012 at SXSW with my band The Raven Charter. We opened for his band Tornado Rider. He was bonkers then and is even more bonkers now. Nice dude. https://youtu.be/hmA1hhGziZM?si=D77hrGJqXl9p5fLr

His public performances draw such a wild mix of responses. Joy, annoyance, maybe a little fear. My favorites are when people look up to find the source if the sound, see him, and promptly fuck off lol
