The library offered this description of the event:

A “one-woman musical extravaganza," electric violinist Caryn Lin is in a class all her own. Using sound effects traditionally made for electric guitar and a technique called looping, or on the spot recording, this "Violinist for the Space Age" builds layers of sound over deceptively simple melodies. Using her five-string electric violin, voice and percussion instruments Caryn's creations are both otherworldly and totally catchy. Fans call it mesmerizing!
