I have to say, I admire Imogen Heap.  Seriously.  She’s a total geek when it comes to music production, vBlogging the creation of Ellipse (fantastic album!) and creating a vBlog for Sparks.

Check out her YouTube Channel where she talks about the various cool projects beyond her album.  Case in point: Mi.Mu gloves.  Being able to play music based on how you use your fingers, hands, arms, etc…  She’s also involved with other companies around the ability to interact with her music in different ways. So cool.

Check out her video for Me The Machine.  BTW the graphics the video are live linked to the Mi.Mu gloves.

Incidentally, First Train Home is my favourite track on Ellipse.

I digress. I really admire what Imogen is doing with her art, sharing her tips and tricks, the excitement she has in her craft.

In turn, it’s giving me inspiration with regards to Polyatomic. I am really thinking outside the box, seeing how I can work with other artists to make this project happen. This is huge for me because, all in all, I am an introvert. While I have been giving away my early tracks for free, for years, my music is something very close and deeply personal to me. I allowed it to be disjointed.

Looking at what Imogen has shared through her vBlog, setting up things like The Listening Chair to get inspiration, people sending items in to include either in music, artwork, etc… That’s huge. An artist letting others in.

Thank you for sharing yourself with us Imogen, and for the inspiration you’ve had on me for the past week.

As I look to what is coming up with Polyatomic, I have to say, I could not do what I do without others – be it from world events, family, friends, other artists, and the technology used.

Here’s a link to the making of Imogen Heap’s The Listening Chair:

(Incidentally, I think she should be given an OBE for her services to music)
