I would like to share how I go about my daily practice when I need to reenergize, or get in tune with myself. Even though the moves look like I am dancing (which I am), every movement is purposeful and opens up a different area in the body. This obviously is an upper body warm up, with a tiny bit of violin technique incorporated. Sometimes I tune into silence, other times I am happy to move to the rhythm. The background music of the video is from my band ImU and the name of the track is Motel Victoria.

Happy to join The Turn Club where artists, creatives and forward thinkers in The Netherlands are encouraged to share their visions, get support, practical help, but also show their vulnerabilities as well as gain trust in working outside the comfort zone! I also got to share a moment of deep listening, which was beautiful, non verbal communication and being in the now is where deeper learning for deep impact starts.

What does Melika seek when she plays? What does she try to share with her audience?
: The moment of collision between science and technique behind violin playing, and the deeply felt improvisation of being in the moment.

This moment is meant to spark clarity and inspiration in everyone present.

In the vibe (taking it in)
Melika plays her environment. Her music is organically connected to the vibes that surround her. They are what move her and her music is a violin manifestation of them.

What is the violin?

The violin fascinates Melika. Not only for of its endlessly complicated and demanding intricacies, but because for her, playing the violin is a science. It's time, skill, patience, intelligence, technique, quickness of mind, testing, practice, experimenting; all bundled into an elegant and shapely vessel. The beautiful music that glides out of the instrument becomes a byproduct of that science and the connection Melika creates with her environment.
