Only his violin and a loop machine. Sadly the video doesn't do him justice but he was amazing!!
Edit: now that I know other people are as impressed as I was - the only way to find him on his sign was his Instagram - camnicholsonmusic if you want to go check him out!

Melbourne ahh some great buskers around.

Now do Cotton Eyed Joe
pyr666
someone needs to trim this so it loops in a way that is musically sound.
fdoyl001
His feet: "IM HELPING, LOOK AT ME"
Phischstaebchen
so he is using a loop-recorder?
DevouredYou
his killing it!

This is the dance when I have to go really bad but the bathroom is occupied.

Check out Dub FX on YouTube.

Ah, beautiful melbin.

Melbourne. Rhymes with Brisbane. Coz Australia.

That’s what I look like when I have to pee.

Thanks to Vine I can't hear this without "dick, suck a dick, suck a dick, suck a motherfucking dick"
NowYouKnowMySecret
Oh nah... that's sad for you lol
TheDuckDuck
Well the music is nice, but I hate him for jumping around like a chicken on speed
soggyscone
I liked it better when there weren't so many loops. Decent tho
GirthBrookss
Ya my thoughts exactly I don’t find this sounds good at all near the end, too much going on
NowYouKnowMySecret
It's also my fault with my shitty sound. It sounded 100x better and clearer in real life
VeterinariansandSerialKillers
Can I just say that I really appreciate that he's holding the bow at the proper placement for a baroque piece?
triggernaut
Were baroque bows shorter? BTW I only ask because my teacher was describing a violin he's bought and restored that he thinks is from 1600's.
VeterinariansandSerialKillers
From what I recall from my orchestra days, they were shorter and so when we perform baroque pieces it is customary to choke up on the bow

burntnachos
Have we just collectively, as a society, agreed to pretend you don’t need the bow to touch the violin to produce sound?
tegfdd77
Apparently

Melbourne has some amazing buskers. My husband and i went there in june and they where outstanding!
NowYouKnowMySecret
Incredible!! There's also an amazing piano player on Bourke st sometimes as well
iamkaren
Also i have that exact shirt he is wearing.

(1)At one point in my town centre, there was a band of these 4 older dudes (Greek or Turkish maybe) and they just done like jazzy renditions
ThePolarMole
(2)Or swing of classic tracks, I really enjoyed them everytime and realised how great people just sharing their passion publicly was when
ThePolarMole
Some old man, 60s probably, came over with his little granddaughter, under 5, and danced with her. Pure joy on all involved faces.
NowYouKnowMySecret
I love everything about this ❤

To busk in that location you have to pass an audition.

I just absolutely love how much of a trance he is in. He is involved and I just love seeing that. This is great.
NowYouKnowMySecret
I know it was a joy to watch!

Bryson Andres is another talented one https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HrKHAsnkF8A

While we're sharing, I found these two also in Melbourne https://youtu.be/R">FqcLzSDo">https://youtu.be/RRLFqcLzSDo https://youtu.be/i9pcdeJGG_k
ComradeZoidberg
I like them! Not a violinist, but he is an Australian loop artist. He uses his voice. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HKEmaPj935M
AGoodView
Just like the rest of Australia, he is on fire.
CommanderXirlos
Yes, haha! Hahahahahelp.
asianmilkspray
You gotta be in tune with your environment.
mds308
He's great but the hot girl doing it in heels is better.

Good burn

I played in symphonies for years. Played many pieces. I absolutely detest this one piece. Viola plays same 8 notes for the entirety.
ImNotNermal
I’ve seen child buskers play better than that
yy0b
I've never personally understood the fascination with it, it's just kind of boring
Ilasiak
Meanwhile the bass players are crying, trying to stay awake.
tegfdd77
It’s corny!
Leithreas
Yeah I've made people cry with Canon in D but it's not difficult to play or particularly moving to me personally.
CelestialDancerChick
Falling asleep at my music stand... Lol
Leithreas
"Welcome to viola 101, learning how to count the same notes over and over".
CelestialDancerChick
Lol but I love playing pieces, for example, written by Vivaldi. Yes, the notes are repetitive. But it's so much more exciting to play!
CelestialDancerChick
And Bach's Brandenburg Concertos. Especially 5, and 3. 3's my favorite. Also love playing St. Paul's Suite, by Gustav Holst.

I guess we really do know your secret now!
NowYouKnowMySecret
Oh bless... that's sweet.
justabitofpoo
I’ve always lived by the policy that if you stop to listen to the busker, you tip the busker.
iUsedToBeFunThenIGotAGoodTherapist
Sometimes I don't stop to listen to a busker I really enjoy because I have no change on me, and that makes me sad.
justabitofpoo
Same here. In Singapore there are multiple buskers near my office. Quality artists, but I rarely carry the $1 coin. So I mosey along, sadly.
NowYouKnowMySecret
I bought his CD ?
justabitofpoo
Good on you!
Essseff
Looks like quite a few people dropped a dollary-do or two in his case
potatoardvarkhybrid
I used to work in the department store behind the busker , that busker wasn't there then.
dancingbyherself
I used to work at the department store in front of the busker!
NowYouKnowMySecret
Shout out for Bourke st!
Ihatecornbeef
Hi I'm the busker I always played mon-fri 3-6pm except on weekdays that's my time off

Where in Melb are you from?
Longinus212
Originally from Bentleigh, currently suffering in Bendigo. I tried to move back a couple of years ago, didn't work out.
gizkap
Oh I went to Bendigo for a wedding in Sept & I thought it was beautiful haha
goldensnapper
The way he walks around makes me nervous. Does he need to go to the toilet
pyr666
he probably does this for *hours* humans are better built for walking than standing.
DamnTheAdmiralty
That's not the potty dance; that's just the regular dance - as said by my 3yr old.
gmccollum
As a performer, I gotta say, no one wants to watch us just stand there
TheHalfJewPrince
He's counting beats to keep time with the music. I used to rock my head while playing but he's bouncing all around
Lutki
IDK, whenever I am concentrating hard on something I start to build up nervous energy and need to start moving or I can't focus
Goryofa
It's this and tempo. I have to move while playing guitar or I lose the beat.
tegfdd77
Not necessary. He just has a bad habit of moving too much.
PoppinLochNessHopster
Why is it a bad habit?
tegfdd77
Moving like that is unnecessary & can be distracting; also counterproductive to good tone/timing. (Am violin instructor)
PoppinLochNessHopster
So as a violin instructor, can you give a good reason why this habit is bad other than personal bias?

Boss RC50 loopstation, for those wondering.
Ubergeeek
I wasn't. But thanks.
NowYouKnowMySecret
I had no idea but +1 for the information lol
TwoBadMiloshDead
I thought it was rc300
TwoBadMiloshDead
It is definitely rc300, it has the volume pedal, rc50 doesn't.
iamchrislechat4
Not a rc 300?
ColostomyBrag
Could be either, but I'm guessing if he's busking it's a 50.
TwoBadMiloshDead
Rc50 doesn't have the volume pedal, rc309 does. This is rc300
TwoBadMiloshDead
*rc300
ColostomyBrag
Ah, good point. Busking with a violin should have been a clue that he's not busking due to dire straits.
TwoBadMiloshDead
Rich play the violin, poor play da fiddle
