Clearing my head, walking in mud

Nick ryan preparing for gathering impulse responses for Altiverb plugin. To put the song, acoustically, specially where it belongs, or where it’s come from.

Hello! Nick Ryan is here with me at the Round House. We are discussing what to have for lunch. Feeding our creativity you see! Also, black holes. Our metaphor for sounds being whipped into the vortex of the musical story. It’s going to make sense, we promise! 

Nick and I are going to have lunch now but the heapsong2 microsite is now LIVE for you to explore. Please get stuck in and tell us all about your moments of clarity on the ‘clarity cloud’. All entries give you the chance to be depicting your moment in a ‘bubble’ in my garden Tuesday 28th for the video. 

Also, there’s a photo upload page where you can upload images into different categories. Today’s one is “a moment of clarity”. If your pic gets chosen for the artwork you get to come to the party Sunday 3rd July at my house. 

More soon. Ta ta for now and welcome! 

Love from us both, 

Nick and Immi

Got brilliant team together and plans to build the new Imogenheap.com main website. Ready for September.

This is Jim Hall photographing round my area for the new site. I came across his amazing big cat and emailed him moments after to build us something special for the new website.

This took me about 14 hours in photoshop! phew!

headphones and mics get big when you roll over them with text boxes.
