Music rec post!

So, when I went to see Imogen Heap performing earlier this year, I got to see a very special guest performance by an avant-guard cellist by the name of Zoe Keating, who then proceeded to perform an astonishingly beautiful piece called "Optimist".

She is phenomenally talented. I can't stop listening to her new album "Into The Trees", which is the exact same reaction I had when I first discovered her previous album, "One Cello x 16: Natoma". She is a leading voice in cello music, and a leading voice in avant-guard electronica. And she is so so worth listening to. My love for 'Fern' is pretty much endless. It's hauntingly beautiful cello solo with a warm, romantic sound making sweet sweet musical love with minimalistic electronica and I. Am. Smitten. And have been for a while.

So very much recommended, you guys. Her music is available on iTunes, but if you're so inclined, please buy it on Bandcamp, where you have the option to pay more and show real appreciation to an unconventional artist who refuses to submit to labels and corporations, and lives directly off of album sales and downloads.
