Recently a new and very lovely
friend recommended Zoë Keating and after listening to one track and several
previews, I desisted no longer and bought her album, Into the Trees, on her
website. To me, there’s just something about a cello that really stirs the
emotions and inspires me to write.
Zoë’s work is a perfect example
of how powerful this instrument can be as a lead, inspiring tender moments or
calling forth images of walking trees storming into battle. I told @theambersphere
that it really sounded like something I would have seen in Raelis, a hidden
city in my first book Only Human, and I meant it. I could see the photogeni
covering their plant faces, sharpening their wooden swords and surging forth
against the army in front of them. It was a great moment listening to that
because it gave my ideas even more context and allowed me to replay that part of my story in my
mind.
That’s how inspirational the
cello can be, and it seems as if Zoë is just getting started, so feel free to
keep tabs on her and accompany her on her musical journey aboard the SS
Sunstring.
Cheers
Thanks to @theambersphere for the wonderful recommendation
