Ralph Farris
Ralph Farris (born Ralph Howard Farris, Jr., 1970) is an American violist, violinist, composer, arranger, producer and conductor, best known as a founding member and artistic director of the ensemble ETHEL. Farris is an electric string player with a lengthy career that spans the gamut of musical genres from rock and jazz to Broadway. His instruments are outfitted with a piezoelectric pickup which allows him to play amplified.〔Photo of Ralph Farris's viola ()〕 Amplification was initially adopted early in Farris's career in order to facilitate the playing of various "contemporary classical" pieces that involve electronic components.〔"MUSIC REVIEW; A Rock Band's Effects In a String Quartet Sound", ''The New York Times'' by Allan Kozinn, November 2, 2002 ()〕〔"A bold force in foursomes; The members of Ethel offer a different string-quartet sound, and not just because of their penchant for improvising, amplifying, commissioning and composing.", ''Los Angeles Times'', by Kyle Glann, February 20, 2005 ()〕 It continues to be integral to his signature sound.
