Layered Cello

The experience of a live Symphony is quite exhilarating, 30-40 people playing various instruments really absorbs you. Watch this performance by Zoe Keating who creatively plays Cello instrument as if she were an entire string ensemble condensed into one woman. This is one of the best cello performance I have heard, no matter how many times I hear it, the music keeps haunting.

Some thing unusual here is that she layers her play over some repetitive background music layers, the way she layers her instrument is just perfect.
