An engaging educational experience spanning musical genres and eras, Caryn Lin starts with the simplicity and origins of the solo acoustic violin demonstrated by performing a Bach minuet. Whisked to the present, Caryn uses the five string electric violin and sound effects to transcend that solo sound by “looping, ” which means creating sound loops live where she adds and embellishes, playing in essence live duos and trios with herself.
