I just found out about her through an interview from Seattle based advertising photographer, Chase Jarvis.
On her website bio Zoe Keating's described as a "one woman orchestra. She uses a cello and a foot-controlled laptop to record layer upon layer of cello, creating intricate, haunting and compelling music."
She's a classically trained cellist that makes great music using not only her cello but also her computer.
Using her computer in conjunction with her cello is really cool because it shows that she has a level of digital proficiency that some musicians in the classical realm don't really possess.
For some reason she's sometimes called an "avant cellist", I assume because of her avant-garde style.
Being able to loop what she plays creates a really deep, orchestral feel to what she plays. She's really good at this style of playing and I particularly enjoy it a lot.
I think I like her music a lot because she brings together great classical music with technology in a cool way, making it her own.
