So did you ever think you would hear cello and classic rock in the same sentence? Neither did I, but Low Strung has done it beautifully. They have remixed classic rock songs such as Don’t Stop Believin’, Livin’ on a Prayer, and Stairway to Heaven.
For the past month, this CD has not come out of my car and my MP3 player is always set on Low Strung.
I recently started taking a drawing class. I was quite freak out by this class. You see I’ve never been an artist. But its required for a graphic design major. This is where Low Strung comes in. Their music is inspiring. It is soothing. As you listen, you can envision an artist feverishly working on a piece. That is what it does to me.
Low Strung perfect background music for a young hip dinner party, a soak in a tub, or even for wedding music. That is how I actually discovered Low Strung. Me Ra Koh is an amazing photographer. She recently posted a photo montage on her website using Low Strung as the background music. I thank her for introducing me to Low Strung.
About Low Strung:
Low Strung unites the classical virtuosity of twelve cellists with their indomitable rock and roll spirit as we play some of your favorite rock anthems. The CD includes a bonus 12th track not available as a digital download.
For too long the cello has lived in the shadows. Centuries of tired bass lines and harmonies have left the unique versatility of the cello largely unrecognized. That is about to change. Formed at Yale University in 2004, Low Strung unites the classical virtuosity of twelve cellists with their indomitable rock and roll spirit. These twelve tracks, all time-tested rock anthems, lay bare the most extreme capabilities of the cello: heartbreaking beauty, bone-crunching rawness, and everything in between.
