Violinist Lindsey Stirling seems to have no limits when it comes to experimenting with new genres on her acoustic fiddle. The 26-year-old YouTube sensation self-described "hip hop violinist," takes her first leap into dubstep music in an incredibly beautiful dubstep violin video performance for "Crystallize." With the help of cinematographer Devin Graham, Stirling filmed a video of herself in the Ice Castles of Silverthorne, Colorado, which only adds to the beauty of the song.
The track is taken from her self-titled debut album, which showcases her signature violin-electronic-dubstep style and it opening with "Crystallize," her most popular piece. As she explained "is a much deeper song: the crystallization of water is affected by its surroundings to create either beautiful patterns or meaningless masses. Similarly, I believe that through our thoughts, beliefs and the environments we create, we each possess the power to make a positive change within ourselves and others." The track is electrifying, beautifully haunting, and rich with emotion. It takes dubstep to a new level.
Utilized across time to express emotion within the artist and evoke emotion within the listener, songs infused with string instruments bring about a different aural experience than any other kind of song. It's not every day we come across an artist that successfully blends the world of instrumental music with electronic. Stirling has managed to intertwine her talent and merging her experience as a solo violin artist with the popular electronic genre of dubstep, providing a powerfully unique sound and experience for the listener.
Set inside and outside of a cool looking ice cave, the clip was a huge hit! The chosen location is no coincidence since "Crystallize" is named after scientific findings suggesting that human thoughts impact the molecular structure of water. Stirling plays seemingly without effort while dancing and wandering through a winter wonderland of illuminated ice formations, tunnels, and arches. The video is composed of a series of day and night shots that truly encompasses what it is clear Stirling set out to do with this track. It's beautifully edited, and compliments the song rather than takes away from it.
