Bootstrap Physics by Timothy Vajda Timothy Vajda : Bootstrap Physics.
 Viola da gamba in a contemporary context.

The viola da gamba, primarily found in music of the Renaissance and Baroque, is here used in varying combinations with electric guitar, synthesizer, acoustic guitar, and medieval fiddle. The musical style organically blends old with new, classical with popular. The result is a richly textured, expressive music with a sound all its own.

"Bootstrap Physics" explores a musical compatibility between instruments and styles that aren't often combined.

"Vajda plays all the instruments and writes all the tunes on this instrumental album, and it is really compelling. His primary instrument is the viola da gamba, which looks like a cello, plays like a cello ? but it's a viola. Regardless of my ignorance on that topic, I can still appreciate the beauty of this music. Soothing, intriguing and different enough to make it stand out."
