For as long as I’ve known about Imogen Heap, I’ve never really been that interested in her music. That is, until I saw a video of her making it…live. I am enamored by her process.
Her music is richly layered but she is the only performer, playing all instruments and singing all vocals. To accomplish this she uses a looping machine and am impeccable sense of harmony as well as timing. In a way, she is collaborating with herself (something I thought a lot about this summer, and am reminding myself to write about soon).
If you want to see more of how she does it, another great example is this PopTech video.
