Josh and I have a shared enthusiasm for electronic/indie music, and for a particular artist, Imogen Heap. Whilst researching her music selection, we discovered her brand new album; ‘Ellipse’ is being released on August 24th 2009 (pictured left). We have heard preview snippets of various tracks and in particular like ‘Bad Body Double’ and ‘Aha!”.
♪Imogen Heap is a Grammy winning English singer and songwriter from the UK.
♪For her solo work, Heap specializes in heavily produced and arranged singer-songwriter pop incorporating elements of rock, dance and electronica. Heap is notable for her use of manipulated electronic sounds (and is in demand as a remixer).
♪'I just love crafting and shaping sounds. Actually, many of the sounds that I work with start off as organic instruments - guitar, piano, clarinet, etc. I like to breathe my own life into these sounds, and I do try to keep the ‘air’ in the music. Some people think electronic music is cold, but I think that has more to do with the people listening than the actual music itself'
♪Heap also mixes ambient sound into her music where appropriate. She states that her song lyrics come from 'personal experience, but are encoded rather than being straightforwardly confessional'.
