A LIVE CELLO PERFORMANCE BY A VOLKSWAGON
NICK HORNBY 

SE5
Throughout the festival
Free

A functioning car plays a droning chord on a cello. One of the front wheels of the car is carved in solid oak. Around the wheel is red felt that, when dusted with cello rosin, can play the cello like a bow. Unlike a cellist whose bow must change direction and produce a break in the note – the car plays indefinitely. The constant drone is inseparable from the sound of the running engine and yet the distinctive sound of a cello is emotive and evokes cinematic narrative.
