Meine momentan absolute Lieblingscd: Zoe Keating - one cello x16:natoma
Zoe Keating ist Cellistin. Habe sie live als Vor"band" gesehen und war sehr beeindruckt. Sie sitzt alleine, nur mit ihrem Cello und einem Mac auf der Bühne. Die ersten Töne erklingen, noch recht unspektakulär. Sie tritt auf ein Pedal ihrer Fußkonsole(?) und die eben gespielten Takte werden vom Computer gespeichert und wiedergegeben. Dann fügt sie neue Töne hinzu und wiederholt das Prinzip. Nach und nach ensteht so ein ganzes Orchester.
"It dawned on me recently that I might be trying to recreate that awesome feeling of being in an orchestra by actually 'being' the orchestra. The music is composed with an electronica sensibility, but there is nothing electronic about it, it's all unmanipulated cello. At first I started the conventional way, writing out parts for multiple cellos, thinking I'd find a group of cellists to play it. However, little black dots were too static, I had a hard time figuring out how to accurately write layers of scrapes and taps and harmonics, and it was too SLOW. I wanted to hear it NOW so I just got some microphones and recorded directly into my computer.
Eager to perform for the first time in my life, I tried foot pedals and looping machines in order play as many parts as possible. I'd come up with a rough musical idea, rehearse the technology and then flesh the whole thing out live in front of an audience in the warehouse. For nearly every performance I'd have some new piece of equipment, some new technique to try out, some new musicial idea. The music evolved from concert to concert and no two evenings are ever be the same. I called the project One Cello x 16 because that's actually how many tracks I had to work with. Now I should probably call it One Cello x 32. " (
