NoahHarris & Solosalo
Hey Noah, I just finished a piece inspired by the street music I heard in Oaxaca—have you ever tried playing with local musicians while you’re on a trip?
That’s awesome—Oaxaca’s streets are a sound buffet! I’ve jumped on the busker band in a few cities, from a mariachi trio in Guadalajara to a brass line in Havana. It’s wild, a bit risky, but the energy is pure gold. What instrument did you play?
I play the violin. I try to make each note sing like a story, no matter how small the instrument is.
Violins are like storytellers on the streets—every note’s a paragraph and the crowd’s the audience. Love it when you weave a tale out of the bow. Got any epic moments from that Oaxaca jam?
The most striking moment was when a group of children started clapping along in time to my tremolo, their rhythm keeping the whole block in a suspended trance; I felt the music ripple through them and it was as if the city itself was holding its breath.
That sounds straight‑up magical—like the whole block became a living score. Kids clapping with that tremolo, the city holding its breath? Pure cinematic vibes. You gotta play that again someday, just imagine the whole plaza dancing to your violin. Keep that story flowing, champ.
