'It is not what you play, but how you play it' is a common aphorism in music, and rarely do we get to experience someone who embodies both the virtuosity and the primordial force of musical expression. Chris Lynch is one of those musicians. Multi-instrumentalist, film composer, arranger, producer, and engineer, are just a handful of titles you could pin on Lynch, though he is foremost a violinist. The violin has been the centerpiece of Chris' musical story arc since moving to Santa Cruz from Minnesota in the early 2000s. He began scoring films like Code and Response (Austin Peck), touring with Marty O'Reilly, The Brothers Comatose, and The Shook Twins, to now, putting out his debut solo album entitled Migrations on Sonderhouse Records.
If you've seen Chris Lynch live, you know his ability of reminding us how to feel music, rather than hear it or try to understand it. Lynch plays with such focused emotion that it's hard to tell where the violin ends, and the person begins. Oftentimes a recording falls short in matching an artist's live essence, but Lynch's debut solo album, Migrations manages to bottle up his ineffable quality for its full thirty-five minutes. Chris has shown us that the violin is versatile across any genre. What we're hearing on this debut is a conversation between all the parts of the violin that Chris has unearthed in his relationship with the instrument.
