Linzi & FUSE Feature in Daily Telegraph

Snippet:

"Linzi Stoppard, daughter-in-law of playwright Tom, talks about going from fashion shoots to heavy-metal violins.

By Michael Pilgrim
Published: 3:09PM BST 05 May 2010

Rock and the violin have enjoyed a hesitant history. The poor fiddle rarely gets to be a lead rock instrument – that’s the guitar’s job. From George Martin through Nick Drake to Guy Chambers and Robbie Williams, it has been relegated to sweetening and thickening a tune. Or providing arty texture (Roxy Music), folksy trimmings (the Corrs) or jazzy depth (Jean-Luc Ponty)."

Electric Violin Hero Led Zeppelin / Carmina Burana by Linzi Stoppard & Ben Lee FUSE

Rock electric violinists Linzi Stoppard & Ben Lee perform a preview of album tracks live in Athens. This is a snippet of one of the great tracks from their forthcoming album - a fusion of Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir" and Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana". The idea for the track was first performed by FUSE in Spring 2008 but took on a completely new life when FUSE tucked themselves away in rehearsal studios experimenting with analogue sounds for the album's preparation. It is just a taste of what is to come on the trailblazing album, already earmarked to raise the benchmark for electric string groups & quartets alike.

Linzi's top tips for budding Violinists

Did you know Linzi also performs for schoolchildren, at their elementary schools, and inspires them to take up the violin.

Here is her advice:

“The electric violin can be a real alternative to the commonplace guitar. “

She recommends five steps for young people interested in the electric violin. “My five steps are:

1.) Buy yourself a starter electric violin and amp combo from Ebay. check that it works, if you can.

2.) Learn the basics, such as scales, and bowing techniques, from a couple of How to Play the Violin books, and DVD’s.

3.) Sign up through a local college for some group violin lessons, and mix with like-minded people.

4.) Use your musical influences to experiment and develop your own sounds.

5.) Never stop believing in yourself, and take every opportunity to get out thee, and play live. If I can do it, you can!”
