Bootstrap Physics features the viola da gamba, an instrument most
commonly associated with Renaissance and Baroque music, in combination
with acoustic and electric guitar, synthesizer, medieval fiddle, and percussion.
Vajda plays all the instruments and writes all the tunes on this instrumental disc, 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.

I'm particularly excited about this album... I was really inspired by Vajda's modern uses of the gamba,
and hope that this release will inspire other gambists to stretch their musical ambitions beyond the
printed score.
