Zoë Keating (Pop!Tech Video)

February 16, 2008

From the Pop!Tech conference archive of audio and video Pop!Casts comes this amazing performance by Zoë Keating. Their description is as good as any:

Canadian-born cellist Zoë Keating layers the sounds of her cello with live electronic sampling, as if she were an entire string ensemble condensed into one woman. Watch and listen to her infuse the Camden Opera House with wave after wave of beautiful and diverse rhythms.

I was unaware of the Pop!Tech media until now… if it isn’t related to the incredible TED conference (Pop!Tech appears to be similar to TED, though a bit more, well, populist in orientation), then one of the two sites owes the other some thanks for allowing the “homage” in their design, right down to their chiming video intros.
