Firefly-esque music

So, I am listening to one of my OTHER favorite podcasts Radiolab.

On it this week they have a woman playing “A quantum cello” which basically means as she plays she records herself and creates layers of sound. It is very, very cool…what struck me however is how very Firefly it sounded. I nearly drove off the road when she started…the beginning banter wasn’t very interesting, but it does provide some critical background so you understand what she is doing.

When she begins it is amazing. I am seriously considering purchasing an album or two.

Enjoy! You can listen to it straight from their website if you don’t want to hunt it down in iTunes.

And the Deadwood soundtrack has some nice, eclectic old-timey music on it.

I heard that on Radiolab - truly amazing. The Firefly-esque component didn’t strike me right away but now that you mention it…

I also did not make that connection initially… but I see what you mean. Either way, I went right out and DLd some Zoe Keating.
