Artists
Zoë Keating
Zoë Keating is a one-woman orchestra. She uses a cello and a foot-controlled laptop to record layer upon layer of cello, to create lush, beautiful and otherworldly music.
Born in Canada and classically trained from the age of eight, Zoë spent her 20's dabbling in computer software while moonlighting as a cellist in rock bands. Inevitably, she combined the two and developed her now signature style while improvising for late night crowds at her San Francisco warehouse.
Increasingly considered a role model for DIY artists, Zoë's self-released albums have sold over 35,000 copies. She has performed her music live on National Public Radio, on television, outdoors in the Nevada desert, in medieval churches, in punk clubs, and before thousands of screaming teenagers in mainstream rock venues across North America and Europe.
As a cellist and arranger, Zoë has worked with a wide range of artists, including Imogen Heap, Mark Isham, Curt Smith, Amanda Palmer, Rasputina, DJ Shadow, Pomplamoose and Paolo Nutini. From 2002 to 2006 she was a member of the cello-rock trio Rasputina. Most recently, Zoë has been composing music for film and ballet. In 2008 she performed her music live with the Valencia ballet, she composed music for a documentary called "Ghostbird" about the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker, and performed her signature layered cello on Mark Isham's score for "The Secret Life of Bees". She is featured on Amanda Palmer's solo release "Who Killed Amanda Palmer".
Zoë is a recipient of a 2009 performing arts grant from the Creative Capital foundation. Her new self-released album, "Into The Trees" was released in June 2010 and spent 14 weeks on the Billboard classical charts.
"Swoon-inducing. Like taking a triple-shot of Absinthe before stepping outside of the bar just in time to see the sun exploding." -San Francisco Weekly
"...a distinctive mix of old and new -- layers of sound, that feel more like orchestrations than a solo instrument. " - National Public Radio

Todd Reynolds
TODD REYNOLDS, composer, conductor, arranger, violinist and electronic musician, is a veteran of the New York City music scene, and a longtime touring and recording member member of Bang On A Can, Steve Reich and Musicians and Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Project . Collaborations run the gamut from Todd Rundgren and Joe Jackson to Kenny Werner and Betty Buckley to Meredith Monk and Scanner. His solo sets on tour opening for Indie sensations, The Books, and his affiliation with and use of the music software phenomenon Ableton Live have opened his unique blend of "classically- improvised-quantum-ambient-electronica" to a new and wider audience. His commitment to genre-bending and technology-driven innovation in music continues to produce innumerable collaborations with artists that regularly cross musical and disciplinary boundaries, regularly placing him in venues from clubs to concert halls around the world.
A forerunner in the expansion of the violin beyond its classical and ’wood-bound’ tradition, Reynolds electrifies in concert, weaves together composed and improvised segments, and makes use of computer technology and digital loops to sculpt his sounds in real time, seamlessly integrating minimalist, pop, Jazz, Indian, African, Celtic and indigenous folk musics into his own sonic blend. As a cross-genre improviser and collaborator, he has appeared and/or recorded with such artists as Anthony Braxton, Uri Caine, John Cale, Steve Coleman, Joe Jackson, Dave Liebman, Yo-Yo Ma, Graham Nash, Greg Osby, Steve Reich, Marcus Roberts and Todd Rundgren, and has commissioned and premiered countless numbers of new works by America’s most compelling composers, including John King, Phil Kline, Michael Gordon, Neil Rolnick, Julia Wolfe, David Lang, Evan Ziporyn and Randall Wolff. His interdisciplinary work includes ongoing collaborations with SoundPainter Walter Thompson as well as media artists Bill Morrison and Luke DuBois and sound artist Jody Elff.
Reynolds is a founder of the band known as Ethel, a critically acclaimed amplified string quartet (represented by ICM Artists), with whom he wrote and toured internationally for its first 7 years. He also carries in his booking stash ’Still Life With Microphone’, an ongoing theater piece which incorporates his own written and improvised music, compositions written for him, and elements of video and theatrical arts. Nuove Uova [new eggs], new works for violin and electricity, another Todd Reynolds production is a ’new-music cabaret’ of sorts, having as its home Joe’s Pub in Manhattan. He is the recipient of ASCAP awards, an American Composers Forum Grant for Still Life with Mic and Commissioning and Performance grants from Meet The Composer, classical music’s funding godsend to the continuation of the classical music tradition.
