Imogen Heap – Ellipse | Streaming in full
“Ellipse” by Imogen Heap is released on 24th August – if you’re like me you can’t wait.
Well, you don’t have to – here is the full album, streaming on Soundcloud ! (At the bottom of this post.) And, you can pre-order the CD here.
Why have I posted this ? Firstly because it’s a superb album, secondly because Imogen is an outstanding musician, for whom production is clearly inseparable from the writing process itself. In fact, she’s a perfect example of “21st century DIY punk“. And, she is certainly making the utmost of the possibilities of social media and Web 2.0 for musicians. (More about that in my post Why Musicians Should Be On Twitter)
But if you still need more persuading, check out her v-blog channel on YouTube – 40 or so video diary entries about the entire writing, recording, mixing and production process of Ellipse. (Anyone who plays music on the lighting panels in her studio’s ceiling is cool by me!).
Anyhow that’s enough words, just listen to this:

this tip ROCK !
Too much Autotune!
@George – I don’t think Imogen is an autotune kind of girl – she certainly doesn’t need it, as evidenced by performances like this:

Except maybe when she uses it as an effect, eg. “Bad Body Double”. But I could be wrong…?
And by the way – welcome, thanks for posting !
