From her website...
One Cello x 16, is an ongoing project in which I layer the natural sound of the cello to create multi-layered music.

To accomplish this, the cello is captured through a combination of microphones and pickups attached to the body of the instrument. I record in real-time using a foot-controlled computer that runs various bits of software.

Although by necessity I must use a fair amount of technology to realize the music in a live setting, I try to keep this technology as unobtrusive as possible. During a performance, the arrangement of the just-recorded parts I can control with my feet so that I am free to play the cello.

I have two recordings of the studio-version of One Cello x 16 and am currently working on a third.
