Recently listening to my RadioLab podcast, I was fortunate enough to catch some of Zoe Keating's musical creations. Check out the podcast link here or her web page here. She takes her cello along with a laptop and set of pedals to create's various musical loops. She has two albums out currently via her website or itunes.com.
I downloaded both albums and have listened to most of the tracks. They include any and all sounds that one could make on a cello. As she plays she uses the foot pedal to add and subtract loops to her track, all the while composing a work of art. It is a true mix of old and new music, as she is classically trained but cannot perform her work without a computer near.
