Angry Violist is a zine published in Cambridge, U.K.
The zine is about the subversion and mis-use of classical string instruments and advocates playing experimental music on traditional instruments in an unusual way. It is focused on punk, experimental and avant garde music, along with DIY culture. The zine has profiles of experimental string musicians and how-to information on using violins, violas and cellos creatively and innovatively. It also focuses on the problems and preconceptions that come with being a violist (as opposed to a violinist).
Format and History
The zine is A5 size (issues 1-3 were A6), printed in black and white ink in a collage/cut'n'paste style.
