$10.00

Using guitar effects and a looping machine, classically trained violist Christen Lien performs original compositions that are a beautiful mixture of East and West, classical and postmodern, and acoustic and electronic.

Packaging is eco-friendly and biodegradable, so for those who are climate/plastic/waste conscious, you can feel guilt-free about purchasing the physical CD!

“Lien's debut album is called Vol. I: Battle Cry, and it is dark and delicious. It's street-cred and classical, mystically woven in a fierce musical tapestry. This newly release CD reflects a twenty-four year journey of mastering, then challenging and expanding classical Viola expression. Christen's performance and compositional approach is to surrender to creating space for music to express through her. Spontaneously creating then incorporating layers of live effects, Lien paints music with guitar effect pedals, live looping, melodic mixing and expressive performance.”
