SF Weekly About Zoë Keating A cellist since the age of eight, Keating
pursued electronic music and contemporary composition as part of her
Liberal Arts studies at Sarah Lawrence College in New York. After
graduation she moved to San Francisco and built a career as an
information architect and data analyst while moonlighting as a cellist
in rock bands. Keating eventually combined her love of music and
technology, using a computer to live-layer her cello and performing
for late-night after-parties in her San Francisco warehouse. She is
known for both her use of technology - which she uses to sample her
cello onstage - and for her DIY approach, releasing her music online
without the help of a record label. Keating composes for TV, theater,
film and dance. She composed, along with collaborator Jeff Russo,
scores for the A&E series "The Returned" and for WGN's "Manhattan", a
drama about the making of the atomic bomb. Her songs are used as
bumper music for NPR’s Morning Edition, as the theme music to
OnBeing, as the thinking-music of the Sherlock Holmes character on CBS
Elementary and in countless films, commercials, TV shows and
documentaries. Her music has achieved a surprising degree of popular
ubiquity for a DIY artist. Her self-produced album "One Cello x 16:
Natoma" was four times #1 on the iTunes classical charts and her
follow-up album "Into the Trees" spent 47 weeks on the Billboard
classical chart, peaking at #7. Her music has been used in over 20,000
third-party videos uploaded to Youtube, in everything from dance
performances, films, plays, live paintings, climbing videos and live
gaming soundtracks. Her advocacy for DIY artists stems, in part, from
her efforts to obtain some income from official and unofficial uses
while at the same time allowing people to use her music in their own
artistic expression. A vocal advocate for the rights of artists and
creators, Keating writes and speaks often about copyright and the
mechanics of the music industry economy. She was elected a governor of
the San Francisco chapter of the Recording Academy, named a Young
Global Leader by the World Economic Forum and served as a boardmember
of CASH Music, a nonprofit organization that built open source digital
tools for musicians and labels. As a cellist Zoë has played with a
wide range of artists, including Imogen Heap, Amanda Palmer, Guy
Sigsworth, Tears for Fears, DJ Shadow, Dan Hicks, Thomas Dolby, Sean
Ono Lennon, John Vanderslice, Rasputina, Pomplamoose and Paolo Nutini.
In 2014, Zoë's husband Jeffrey Rusch, who founded the arts warehouse
where they lived and where she started her music career, was diagnosed
with stage IV cancer. While she halted her music career to care for
him and their then four-year old son, their struggles with health care
and insurance became a new subject of her blog. Following Jeff's death
in 2015, Zoë continued to advocate for patients, data portability
and the simplification of medical insurance, culminating in a meeting
with President Obama in October of 2016. In 2017 Zoë moved to
Burlington, Vermont. Her latest recording, a four song EP called
"Snowmelt", was released in 2018 and spent 10 weeks on the Billboard
Classical Charts. She is currently working on another album. Visit
