My favorite artist
Lindsey Stirling has to be my favorite artist out there. She is a violinist as well as a dancer. She became a youtube hit with her Dubstep violin videos. Where she composed Dubstep music and over that plays her violin while dancing. Now I was a little skeptical that she was ballet dancing and playing the violin at the same time but then I watched a live performance video and verified that she is indeed dancing and playing the violin. I am a big fan of taking classical music and fusing it with modern rock or synthesis music. Its a little of the past mix with the present/future. And essentially all modern music was derived from classical but people do not realize this. Every time I watch Lindsey's music video or listen to her songs I just feel inspired to do something. Her music relaxes me but at the same time motivates me; that is why when I do homework I usually put on one of her albums. If I ever had the money or time I would pick up the violin (again).
I also want to say something about her camera guy Devin Gram (i think is his name). He does an amazing job! The angles and the way he shoots is like you are moving with what ever he is filming. The camera is rarely ever still.Oh and his editing job is very clean cut; which is the most difficult thing to do when making videos. Devin's editing skills is what makes his video so amazing and with Lindsey's music they are just mesmerizing (at least for me they are).
These are my two top favorite songs:
