Christen Lien

Christen Lien is a classically trained violist who performs original compositions that bridge Eastern and Western traditions, classical and postmodern, as well as acoustic and electronic genres. Incorporating layers of live effects with her viola through the use of  processors and looping pedals, Lien creates evocative music and beautifully haunting performance art.
Her music has been  featured in films and short form media, commercials, live theater and dance performances, as well as in support of environmental, political and scientific campaigns.
