Interview with American cellist and multimedia artist, Cellista
I interviewed Cellista, a classically trained American cellist, a multimedia artist and composer. She is known for her collaborations with artists across various media, as well self-producing stage poems such as live performances staged in unconventional spaces that incorporate elements of classical music, theater, improvisation and visual art across a range of genres including pop, hip-hop, classical and more.
Her latest work, Transfigurations is a multimedia work album and book, co-authored by her father, Dr. Frank Seeburger. A Listener's Guide to Cellista's Transfigurations features essays by Cellista addressing the personal moments of transfiguring experiences in her own life, including events that allowed her to find her artistic voice and finding her way to Transfigurations itself and so much more.\xa0 Transfiguration and her other earlier albums are available on Bandcamp and on Amazon.\xa0
Cellista has worked with Grammy-nominated artist Tanya Donnelly, lead vocalist of the alternative rock bands, Belly and Throwing Muses. She also worked with producer John Vanderslice, Troyboi, Don McLean, Casey Crescenzo, Van Dyke Parks and Pam the Funkstress. She recently joined soprano Carla Canales for Hear Her Song, a project that promotes women's voices through the original compositions by female composers. www.cellista.net
