The Princess of Electric Violin

Today I logged into my twitter account and found that Linzi Stoppard has followed me. Initially I didn't know who she is. But after I looked into her account and checked out her videos on YouTube, damn...she's dope! I mean, she plays awesome songs using her electric violin. It sounds so glorious and makes me feel like I'm on top of the world. It's so mesmerizing! In fact, so far, most of her songs synchronize with my cup of tea. (just so you know that I have my own sort of music). So now I decided to keep updated to her posts and video uploads...

I just love the way those rhythms in her musics arise from the abrasions between the bow and the strings. Each of them touches my heart and vibrates my soul. It keeps reminding me of how powerful, beautiful and creative Allah is for creating such wonderful sounds in the world.

Fyi, her musics and performances are a quite innovative. I don't know if there are many more better violinists than her. But besides Bryson Andres, I adore her.

Seeing these amazing people encourages me to explore and learn more about violin. Since I was a little kid, I've been eager to play music instruments. Above all, I'd like to learn to play guitar, piano, drum and violin. Violin didn't seem so interesting to me. Until Nad (my elder sister) revealed to me the beauty of violin's melody. The first time I heard the sound of violin, I found it quite unique by it's sounds. It can be haunting, mysterious, curious, pretty, happy, sad, mad, scary... It's like generating many types of emotions. Like it's living. Sometimes I think that violin expresses the feeling of the person who plays it. Since then, violin invites my curiosity to know him. That's why I wanna learn violin so much..

How I wish I can earn what I've been wishing for so long...
