He blew us away when he led an orchestral ensemble of 41 strings in an originally composed performance celebrating the 41st anniversary of Earth Day. Organic clothing company\u00a0Loomstate put on the event, where Zinner conducted and played with an impressive lineup of violins, violas, cellos, electric and acoustic guitars, upright bass, electric bass (and some drums and synths thrown in for good measure). &#8220;Writing this piece has been different than anything I&#8217;ve ever done,&#8221; Zinner says in the behind-the scenes-video (above), &#8220;I just want to make something that&#8217;s good and has some sort of emotional resonance, something that&#8217;s easy to connect with.&#8221; (<a style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; color: #339966;\" title=\"Nick Zinner's &quot;41 Strings&quot;\" href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/44410720\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">source<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>[easy-share buttons=&#8221;facebook,twitter,linkedin,mail&#8221; counters=0 native=&#8221;no&#8221; image=https:\/\/live-ehc-english-ucsb-edu-v01.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/yusuke-asai-waf-1.jpg url=https:\/\/live-ehc-english-ucsb-edu-v01.pantheonsite.io\/?p=7382 facebook_text=Share twitter_text=Tweet\u00a0linkedin_text=Link text=&#8221;Nick Zinner&#8217;s 41 Strings&#8221;]<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span> <div  style='height:3px' class='hr hr-invisible   avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_one_third  el_before_av_two_third '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div> <div class=\"flex_column av_two_third  flex_column_div first  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_hr  avia-builder-el-last  \" ><p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/20392161&amp;color=ff5500&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe> <\/p><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This past May, Nick Zinner blew us away when he led an orchestral ensemble of 41 strings in an originally composed performance celebrating the 41st anniversary of Earth Day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":7394,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[75],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7382","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7382"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7382"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7382\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18361,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7382\/revisions\/18361"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/7394"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7382"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7382"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7382"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
