Paul Rucker: How my mom inspired my approach to the cello (2018x332)

: 21, 2018

Multidisciplinary artist and TED Fellow Paul Rucker has developed his own style of cello; he puts chopsticks between his strings, uses the instrument as a drum and experiments with electronics like loop pedals. Moving between reflective storytelling and performance, Rucker shares his inspiration — and definitely doesn't play the same old Bach.
