For the occasion of it is typical that his audience likes surprises; whether it was once a headscarf, which is now one of his hallmark; or last Sporcelain album, which mixed with classic pop and electronics. Now we present the audience with a new instrument he had brought from Violectra electric violins.

He had built for him, by Dave Bruce Johnson from his Birmingham workshop,  to play with the instrument virtuosos Nigel Kennedy, Leila Josefowicz and Jean-Luc Ponty. Violectra violins are made of maple wood, you have a tailpiece with gears; Šporclovy; even his signature.

Pavel collected his Violectra in London in early July after recording some James Bond film score at Pinewood studios

The Telegraph (De Telegraaf) (NL):

'Jacob ter Veldhuis composed a solo for Monica Germino, who drew long, plaintive tones and piercing outbursts from her powerfully amplified electric violin, alongside a soundtrack of indefinable sounds...The violinist is the central figure on stage. She breathes life into the dancers with her notes and summons the memories in them to wake. She leads, inspires, manipulates.’

Rotterdams Dagblad (NL):

'Violinist Monica Germino performs Jacob ter Veldhuis' new score live and moves like an eleventh dancer through the group. The amplified electric violin music lures you into another world...'
'Dancers are lashed into action by violinist Monica Germino, who is always on stage. She [Germino] resembles a kind of snake charmer, but then not with a flute but rather with her electric violin...'

The CD:

JacobTV | SUITES OF LUX, on Basta Music (double CD)
“...Monica Germino plays expansively and with beautiful tone in the rock- and new age-tinged SUITES OF LUX, for electronic violin and soundtrack, the largest work on the album.”
-Stephen Eddins, All Music
