I just saw cellist Zoe Keating. She was a tech professional who came up through the rock strings movement. One of her first tours was second bill to then playing with Rasputina.
She has been a looping artist for a long time, allowing a polyphonic one person performance. Looping by its nature falls into a minimalist sound, think Terry Riley's seminal In C, Phillip Glass, Steve Reich, and others.
I met her when she lived in Portland and played with Brede Rorstad's Music Population Project. He was a Lewis and Clark College composition major.
The show was in an about 500 person hard wall former movie theater with a shallow balcony. Concrete floor, plaster walls, wood backed theater seats, and plaster ceiling. I was in about the 5th row, so getting the cello sound direct.
During the pandemic she did some movie sound tracks which will be independently released.
