Zoë Keating

Cellist Zoë Keating is a one-woman string quartet, using live electronic sampling to create "layers of sound, that feel more like orchestrations than a solo instrument" (National Public Radio.) She has performed across North America and Europe, including 4 tours supporting and accompanying Grammy-nominated artist Imogen Heap. Zoë's self-released album One Cello x 16: Natoma made it to #2 on the iTunes classical and electronica charts. 

Zoë's music has been featured on NPR's Day to Day, has been danced to by the American Repertory Ballet, has been set to commercials, and has been used in several documentaries, including Frozen Angels, which premiered at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival, and in Jane Treays' film Aged 12, and looking After the Family, shown on British television in February 2007. Most recently, she composed the score for the feature film "The Devil's Chair" by English director Adam Mason, which will be released later this year. From 2002 to 2006, Zoë was a member of the cello-rock ensemble Rasputina. With Rasputina she toured North America countless times and recorded two albums (Frustration Plantation, Instinct Records, April 2004; A Radical Recital, May 2005). 

In her spare time, Zoë is an information architect specializing in arts and humanities databases. Past projects include the Mellon Foundation's Database of Recorded American Music and the Research Libraries' Group Cultural Materials Initiative. She lives in a redwood forest north of San Francisco and is currently working on a new album.
