As many of you know, I am a sucker for the cello & love anything experimental with the instrument. At the moment I’m adoring the track ‘Exurgency’ by Zoë Keating (which you can download for free here). It’s just over 8 minutes long, but don’t let that put you off. If you like the cello as much as I do, you will not regret it!
Zoë Keating is a Canadian-born cellist and composer based in Portland, Oregon. She played second-chair in cello-rock band, Rasputina, from 2002-2006. According to her biography, in her solo performances & recordings (particularly the ongoing project she calls “One Cello x 16″) she uses live electronic sampling & repetition in order to layer the sound of her cello, creating rhythmically dense musical structures. She has been described as a one-woman string quartet & it sounds great!
Her 2005 album “One Cello x 16: Natoma” is also partially streamable here.
