Zoe Keating Plays"Escape Artist"

[Jgrl0412]

reminds me of pirates of the Caribbean a bit :)

[dermonkey]

i came here from the DRAWN TODAY podcast and i love the music :)

[libmoti]

A soul of a true Artist

[FG78DP]

wow!!! great musician!!

[sommesmari]

uwahh I'm in love with this woman <3

[k3v1l]

bravo!

[apirillis]

Excellent song! Zoe is super talented! 

[mysterious493]

Zoe is a composer. Mischa maisky is a concert cellist. I do indeed agree that maisky is a cello god, but unlike maisky, she is simply showcasing her Creation instead of an interpretation. Therefore, neither of their crafts should be compared on the same level.

[adrianopol92]

rpg music anyone? It sounds so amazing, it's like from a fantasy world

[TijuanaHandjob]

17 people clicked the "Dislike" button just to be different

[lagoun1]

this is SO beautiful. many musicians use this or similar technology but few compose such amazing music!

[hugostiglitz7]

Amazing. Think she's using Looper in Ableton Live?

[FunkinSteen]

@hugostiglitz7 Yeah, I think so too!

[Gresysa]

This music is perfect to just close you eyes and listen and watch as you get transported into another world.

[ninjamonky7]

now do this on acid

[Baxxter101]

@ninjamonky7 have you even ever done acid? it would be easier for someone with such passion...

[ninjamonky7]

@Baxxter101 just nn dmt and thc



[Clairemurtha]

oh my god. she is beautiful. Her music is fantastic. I could listen for ages. Wow.

[L0L0rox]

Starting at 2:07. Love!

[gingerninja79]

Just discovered this amazing artist through the wonderful Amanda Palmer and had to buy the album. so gorgeous!!

[4ntastic]

Fantastic!!

[Joshhilliardgr]

Everything about this woman and this video are...leave me speechless. Yeah, it's that good.

[djsetter]

Wonderful music! One of the best songs I've ever heard

[fluttercrafts]

absolutely gorgeous

[sale83]

Damn,this is good!

[khantatat]

There's a name for this: FRIPPERTRONICS!

[hopewellsprings]

The sound of bliss. Blissful engagement. Blissful listening. The conveyance of bliss. Can't inhale it enough, through ALL the senses.

[SpaceGeekXD]

So amazing! I knew when I saw all the strings coming off her bow in the beginning this lady meant business. :D

[cutcreator12b]

When did Carrot Top get off roids???

[cellofeldy]

Anyone know what program she uses on her laptop??

[Searobot]

@cellofeldy seems Ableton Live and a plug in

[sveikauskovich]

@cellofeldy abelton and superlooper

[elisemeitner]

I didn't know Julianne Moore played cello

[Romanh74]

Believe it or not, I listen to Zoe Keating when I work out. Her music puts me in a focused mood. I even play her albumn in my classroom for my students while they are working.

[Deathboy224]

you went to middle school of plainville i go there now mrs.shwartz told me about you your good



[Citan1981]

I'm sooo using this in a future RPG session!

[matthewmadson]

too bad this gal wasn't making music for Mass Effect 3

[danimal24585]

This is NOT Avante Garde. This is AWESOME!! Avante Garde is for people who suck at being musicians

[SnowboarderBo]

Stellar! This totally fucking rocks!

[sufferface]

Heck I couldn't even work the foot pedal thingy. Awesome music.

[DeyDerkDerDerb]

Absolutely fantastic - right up until the loud-as-fscking-hell "WIRED" signout thing that blasted my goddam ears right off my head. Thanks, Wired arseholes.

Someone mentioned hearing about her via Radiolab? Cool, I haven't checked those two weirdos out in a while - I was just listening to NPR and they had a brief interview with her on "All Things Considered."

[TheConradish]

that's not even hard..

[cellogirl131]

@TheConradish umm excuse u but i happen to be a cello player i happen to know tht nothning she does is easy playn cello is very difficult so unless u play i dont think u should critisize

[QuantumGravity]

Another wonderful artist whom I might never have found without Radiolab. Thanks Jad and Robert!

[orchdork1995]

sounds like it could be really good in a movie

[1ablackhorizon1]

and to think that most artist heckle her...i have yet to understand why. i think its because they see how expressive she is, how capable she is to just carry you away to this beautiful place, and they cant...hmm this is beautiful no matter what music you like:') zoe i like to just say you should be very proud of your accomplishments, and hold your head high for jealousy is the oldest form of flatery.

[ihaveaverybadcold]

@1ablackhorizon1 who is most....im just curious

[kelsorocs3]

@1ablackhorizon1 Is imitation not the oldest?

[Th3RedX]

So does she mix it via foot pedals or something? or does she have another person mixing it as she performs?

[Th3RedX]

@Th3RedX nevermind, should've watched the video all the way through before I spoke. I like her fashion sense.

[aaronargc]

@Th3RedX Foot pedals and a MacBook Pro!

[davidjeffs88]

this is mind blowing :)

[pooja90chauhan]

damn!

[Ralloon]

yeah i dont really like instrumentals that much - but this is fucking sick.

[kdish111]

yes she is from guelph

[Bihanskyy]

просто чудово !!! wunderbar !!

[Aurielofthedawn]

LOVE THIS! Apparently there are also 9 people without any good taste in music either! LOL

[TheTwistytwins]

@Aurielofthedawn nope 11 ppl who r jealous.

[swaffieable]

Dubstep it.

[unfringed]

@swaffieable you mean fuck it up with generic electrotrash?

[uhteresaify]

out of this world

[curlyQ7193]

How is it even physically possible to click the dislike button?

[hameed]

@curlyQ7193 do you always leave retarded comments like this? holy fuck

[curlyQ7193]

@hameed Why do you care? Are you the comment police?

[hameed]

@curlyQ7193 No, I'm the retard police and you're under arrest

[Minamoto77]

@curlyQ7193 parkinson's

[16cutiepatootie]

I can't wait to see her perform in a week! <3 this song is on repeat and beautifully haunting

[KREATORSofficial]

you just blow my mind !!!

[ataaah]

I think this is what chocolate would sing like if it had a pet swan

[Browns415]

yeah.....holy fuck

....badass....

[Bluebuthappy182]

That was fantastic, in the favourites you go Ms Keating

[synes5]

Some on told me she is from USA, but I can´t believe it...she is not Hanna Montana, she plays an instrument, natural beauty, peacuful, wear clothes and is not full of botox....is she english?

[Krintok]

@synes5 She's from Canada I believe...

[chaoscast]

@synes5: half american, half british, born in Canada ;D

[HybridFalcon]

Thank you so much.

Music has saved my life..

[TILELLITDUO]

genial!! me encanta!! increible!!andaba buscando algo así hacia mucho tiempo!! bbravo!!

[unamericano]

@AgMaxHammerSC2 A piece.

[cestmamusique]

A very impressive piece ... It simply clicks ...

[juspasenthru]

...must...have...more...lots more...need download now..,

[crazedfool123]

I have found this music to be the most amazing thing I have ever heard it touches me in a way no artist has ever done.

[musicman2015]

@AgMaxHammerSC2 A piece of instrumental music is simply called a "piece"

[unamericano]

@AgMaxHammerSC2 It's not a song unless there's singing FYI.

[aaronargc]

@unamericano That's actually excruciatingly untrue.

[unamericano]

@aaronargc How so?

[hunterelite247]

A beautiful Rain forest and frolicking white animals While you wonder through it all in a dream like trance.... This is what your music makes me feel.

[hunterelite247]

A beautiful Rain forest and frolicking white animals While you wonder through it all in a dream like trance.... This is what your music makes me feel.

[lorealmadonna8]

Does anybody know what song she did for "I'm a sex addict"? Im desperate to find it! Thanks

[Jacpuss1]

Breathtaking!



[Jacpuss1]

Breathtaking!

[cjlewis79]

Tonight Im seeing her for the 3rd time. She is a one of many reasons why Music is intertwined with my soul. Anyone with a chance, you MUST see her live.

[smbrox]

WoW!

[ninjacharles11]

amazing i love this

[shapeoftheuniverse]

absolutely phenomenal. she is truly an inspiration for us to go beyond our own musical expectations. thank you, zoe-- you have shown me that nothing is impossible.

[jessjh94]

this is just so incredible. Music like this truly inspires the imagination. I love it.

[darthhhh]

just.... more than amazing

[boxcarbouche]

I can't stop listening to this. The frequency she connects with is beyond epic. I envision that journey from the mind to the heart and back again in my imagination. I want to go to Seattle this week and go see her live.

[lldanj]

Yay Zoe!

[reiguav1]

what pedal is she using

?

[Bortolott1]

Maravillosa Cellista y Artista!!

Verla en Vivo en el Teatro de la Ciudad de Mex. fue lo máximo ...junto con Andrew Bird...

Grandes Instrumentistas junto por su forma de incursionar en la utilización de loops.

[lajaqitequiere]

is it weird that her music takes up most of my play-list for when i go running? shes soo great, she actually motivates you to THINK while you listen.... brings up a bunch of emotions for me.

[jonahrank]

This is gorgeous and brilliant!

[jonahrank]

This is so gorgeous!

[xBloodXGusherx]

Why do people do drugs when music does the job 100 times over?

[codkiller100]

She puts the A in Amazing :D

[xBloodXGusherx]

I can imagine a sick movie trailer to go with this.

This is intense !

[onisynn]

magical

[SonicaGemini1300]

An amazing musician and artist! Im a new fan of hers but a fan for life ^_^

[Dlrealife]

I saw and heard her perform in Boston last night and I was mezmerized.

She played compositions which hit deep in the depths of the soul

What a joy!

[stillnobodysnothing]

i love this so much. i feel like blasting it in my car all the time. i know i pull up to stop signs an lights in san diego with people looking at me like what the hell

[itriedeachthing]

she's coming to sarah lawrence tomorrow (she's an alumnus of the college),so if you're around come out at 1:30!

[victoriamorricone]

beautiful song... drives me far away... far, far away... :)

[smbrox]

this sets my soul on fire!...can see myself galloping across a greensward with a fair maiden on the horse behind me...a chalice of mead in one hand and a sword in the other

[renonish]

i think.. i think im in love.. and im a gay man!!!!

[dogsdrivingcars]

lol, carrot top's cousin, lol.

also, this music is great!

[sabrustuen]

i do not completely understand how she does all that. my understanding is she records a certain amount at a time, and the station at her feet loops it, whats the computer doing? it seems like she turns loops off seamlessly. does her computer have certain timings programmed in to cut loops?

[hagstromman345]

had to whip out my cello and play to this... shes a freaking champion!!!

[AtomicClockwork]

FIrst tim I heard her was on NPR's RadioLab. She's fantastic!

[MidnightSun009]

Sounds like Arcanum

[Krintok]

I'm definitely going to buy this woman's music.

[mrmooge88]

It would be awesome to see her do a special with the Blue Man Group.

[zeno137]

o.O Wow.

[codkiller100]

This song should be in a movie :D

[codkiller100]

Shes going to be at UCSD :D Awesome !!!!

I just need to save 17 bucks XD

[DJYoshaBYD]

absolutely amazing.. i love what ableton has done for the music community.. its a fucking revolution! as landmarkish as when the MPC came out.. same thing with the SP-series samplers.. been with it since the beginning, and it never ceases to amaze me when i see more and more musicians with more and more uses for it.. awwwww yea

[guerraintima]

i am learning to play cello and was looking for a contemporary player to influence me

[xandra6969]

amazing!

[GKPhoto4]

This is so beautiful, the one bass line she puts in reminds me a lot of Sober by Tool

[themuseinwillits]

WOW FUN...!

[madkoadr]

That is one lucky cello. Zoe is so hot!!

[brainblast4207]

can you give me the notes for this song so i could i could translate the notes into an octave higher for my viola?

[beautyl0vin]

@brainblast4207 of the...entire song?

[brainblast4207]

@beautyl0vin 4 how ever much she played in this video yeah

[timmay000]

zoe keating, laurie anderson, and alice coltrane have made my visit to this planet worthwhile. (so long, and thanks for all the fish.)

[thestormlscoming]

@timmay000 ah, hitchhiker's guide reference =]

[TheDoviles]

@timmay000 wow, thanx for mentioning A. coltrane and L. Anderson! 

[theminutemaids]

@timmay000 *jami sieber

[auralspecks]

i cannot possibly like this enough times.

[lorneson]

@auralspecks i agree

[johnd94]

Zoe Keating violated me sexually with her bow. My asshole is still bleeding.

[Johnny123456789x]

@johnd94 And you liked it.

[johnd94]

I did. It was even more fabulous than 9/11

[Stufflikeheartz]

5 people disliked because they're deaf and can't hear this amazing music.

[INGRox]

Is that a woman?!?!  Yikes!

[familyguyjokes]

@INGRox stfu

[thurein17]

awesome!!!!

[Rosalee2424]

I love this. Am blown away :)

[fayt1901]

If anyone says anyone is better then her let me see them or ill just punch them in the face :)

[wistaria2010]

She is so fabulous! This is how I would compose if I could play strings. Except I'm keyboards. Though I'm testing Ableton which she has on her laptop. A friend pointed that out to me. Now if only I could play cello I'd be sooooo happy. :)

[darkness7100]

Me encanta la forma en la que siente la musica!! felicitaciones lo haces muuuuuuuuuuy bien !!

[phernwique]

I met Zoe! And got her auto graph, saw her perform with Amanda Palmer, and she is brilliant, beautiful and pure incarnate passion!

[s0000000p]

does anyone know what loop pedal she uses?

[sliders23]

@s0000000p Ableton Live

[yeldarb205]

@s0000000p The laptop is running Ableton Live with a VST that look a lot like SuperLooper for Linux. Maybe it's on PC/Mac too. The foot pedal is probably just a midi controller.

[madkoadr]

Such a siren... I am her hypnotized slave.

[zom8135]

Beautiful. On so many levels.

[VegaEtereo]

omg, i'm in love :3 such a beautiful piece and she looks like an angel playing it. i love the paint at the background also. thanks for sharing

[TheKickasskatie]

who in the world could be the 5 people who didnt like this?

[SuperPegacorn]

@TheKickasskatie Violin players. (:

[FutureMillennium]

Damn, she makes it look easy.

[Guerillaradio13]

this is awesome

how have i never heard of her before until now?!

[Johnny123456789x]

Before watching this I thought that she had a backing track and activated parts of it as she played. Now I understand she actually records what she plays, then it is played wile she plays on top of it building layers that way.

Amazing.

[Parkerhdeb]

damn you. damn you for already being what it is i want to be hahaha. you amaze me.....damn you...

[BrooklynJackBlue]

I can think of nothing more important besides family and health than music. And I think she reveres it the same way.

[stillnobodysnothing]

amazing!!

[inklanois]

Heavy duty. Just picked up "Into The Trees." Can't wait to dig on it. Saw Zoe with Rasputina in Cincinnati a few years back. Got my picture with her.

[SoapClawtooth]

This really does show the range of this awesome instrument. Genius.
