Enter Linzi Stoppard: Electric Violinist
Linzi attended the prestigious Suzuki Violin School at a very young age. From there, it wasn't long before she caught the eye of producers who convinced her to front Tattoo of Pain (a spin off of Lords of Acid), after which Linzi Stoppard took her talent to form Babe Instinct (the track "Disco Babes From Outer Space" was a Top 20 Hit in the UK, and "Fade To Grey" was a dance hit that swept Europe).
After much success Linzi Stoppard focused on creating her own sound as an electric violinist, which led her to form one half of the music sensation Fuse. In listening to Fuse's 2010 eponymous album, I was blown away. The way Linzi Stoppard uses the electric violin to transform classic rock anthems into driving and epic pieces is nothing short of amazing.
Do you hear what I mean?
Whether you are taking on an army, flying over the Azores, or folding laundry - Linzi Stoppard's electric violin mastery will make everything seem like a grand adventure and triumphant victory! I want to hear Linzi Stoppard playing an electric violin during everything I do throughout the day. The sweeping sound of her electric violin is simultaneously soothing and inspiring. Linzi's sound is the type that should come with its own cinematographer.
Here, check out Fuse's take on the music of James Bond:
Did you just buy something on sale? Did you snag a great parking space when you were out shopping? Was the train on time for you to get to work, this morning? Did you go out for coffee and end up recovering missing Hapsburg treasures from criminal masterminds? That medley should have been playing the whole time!
After watching a number of performances, Fuse is also visually captivating. Linzi Stoppard (and her music partner, Ben Lee) play on $1 M electric violins covered in Swarovski crystals. As if the music and Linzi Stoppard's playing weren't enough to fully capture your attention, there's a beautiful, gleaming gem encrusted electric violin thrown into the mix.
