The Violin is something that is calm and soothing and most of
us do think of Violins as a part of a Symphony/Orchestral groups. And then comes
along Lindsey Stirling, an American Violinist whose music will put all our
presumptuous doltishness to rest. She is like one of the Powerpuff girls. I am pretty sure she was "sculpted" using sugar, spice and everything nice. Then came chemical X which gave her super powers.
OK, now back to being serious. Her music is like a tidal wave that hits you with tremendous force and energy. She somehow has managed to squeeze in all sorts of aspects of music into her compositions. Her compositions have been infused with The Harp, Dubstep, Rock n' Roll and what not. These are the kind of things that make an artist incredible. The energy and the flamboyance with which she plays is phenomenal and the way she structures her music (be it the originals or the covers) is something that is extremely smooth (even here smooth seems to be an understatement).
Lindsey is one artist who is a pleasure to watch. Purely because of the sheer energy and her florid playing style. Some musicians are great to listen to, some are great to watch. Lindsey Stirling is a beautiful lump of both. Apart from the fact that she is extremely talented she is also extremely cute (I don not mean this in any perverted manner whatsoever). Her expressions and music is a combination that will make you smile. Her renditions of The Lord Of The Rings theme and Phantom Of The Opera are psychedelically hallucinatory. She enjoys her playing which is evident in pretty much all of her videos.
Here is one of her songs - Moon Trance (the video shall remind of Michael Jackson's Thriller in bits and pieces):
