| Questions | Answers |
|---|---|
| Hi Imogen, been your fan for a few years now. Just had one question, what did you think when Jason Deluro used your song on his track that got him his fame? Were you reluctant about it? Have any say in it? What did you think of it? | I got an email as I do, asking to use one of my songs in song shape or form... I had a listen as I do and said yes. I thought it was quite inventive, well produced, more interesting than the million 4 on the floor remixes I'd heard. He hadn't released anything before. I had no idea what was going to happen and just said yes and forgot about it! Then... i started hearing about a year later that I was on the radio (only faster and slightly chipmunk like) and there we had it! It went to no.1 US, UK, AUS and I was able to do things like this crowd sourced Nature film... for fun! Link to lovetheearthfilm.org |
| Do you like Clams Casino's samples of your music? | Yes. |
| Where are we? What the hell is going on? | The comments have only just begun to fall! (Adrian helping Immi out with typing at superhuman speed!) |
| Did you like the skit SNL did with your song Hide and Seek? | I could actually say it changed my life to be a part of that meme. So yes... i liked it (for perhaps other reasons though) x |
| Imogen Heap, I've been a big fan since I first heard your song Must Be Dreaming. Your music and lyrics have helped me through a lot of rough times and has helped me discover a lot about myself. Thank you so much for pouring your heart and soul into every song you've created. Immi, you've written some songs that indicate some low points in your life. At what point in your life do you consider your lowest, and why? (What was going on at that time?) | Yowzer! Oddly... I would actually in some respects say now! It's been a very trying time dealing with the album and facing everything about myself in the process and now being single in the album finishing 'comedown' ... Is this too personal? I've kind of floated through life.. not really taken much notice of what was going on with 'me' you know? Have been doing a bit of hardcore digging in that department and not always pleasant in what it brings up. BUT... it's all in the process! I'm going to be gleaming out the other side xx |
| Is another Frou Frou album still happening? Also thanks for doing this ama. Love your music and can't wait for Sparks! | Never say never ;) (Adrian sitting here typing with Imogen) |
| Mmmm whatcha say? | That would be telling, now wouldn't it? (Adrian typing) |
| Hi Immi! Can you tell us something (at least a little bit :) ) about the new song "The Beast" ? The title sounds like it could be a rather dark mooded song? I would love that... | Hmmm! You know when you're with someone you love and you can feel a conversation or evening it's going pear shaped... a sense something is bubbling up and going to come crashing down on you both when you get home? it's a bit like that... you become one beast together, fighting yourself. You can't stop it happening almost. |
| Thanks for making some such sweet tunes, buddy. What is your opinion on the infamous O.C. Shooting/Hide and Seek scene? And of course the SNL Short - Dear Sister? Are you a Game of Thrones fan? Because there is a Dear Red Wedding.[SPOILERS] | I am going to expose my HUGE lacking of knowledge in admitting to not knowing what game of thrones. Sorry! I also.. likely wouldn't have heard of the SNL skit/meme if I wasn't a part of it. I really do live under an elliptical shaped rock (shape of my house) half the time and in my spare time read the New Scientist. not enough hours in the day! The OC guys I am hugely grateful to in taking a punt on my early demos for Speak for Yourself and encouraging me. The same gang of people who helped me for Six Feet Under and CSI. I thought the scene was very powerful and it clearly resonated with a lot of people. x |
| Thanks for coming on to Reddit. It's great to see you on here. I'm being a bit greedy and have a few (too many) questions for you. | My favourite of all time, was Lifeline. It was the first song in a long time I'd written and I was nervous about starting up a new album. Would I still have it in me to write songs!? Always a panic in oiling the song writing wheels again! Writing a lyric, gathering ideas from the worldcloud people had submitted to, got me so excited. To find a connection between a personal story and all those others out there contributing. Connecting it to my family and a world event (sendai earthquake). I'm so grateful for everyone who got involved in that. Here's the beginning of this album if anyone interested Link to heapsong1.imogenheap.com |
| With Sparks you've created the songs with a range of different methods, many times getting the fans involved. What song did you feel the experience with fans worked best and worst? | X Having said that China was AMAZING and loved the filming of Xizi She Knows in Hanghzou. Link to www.youtube.com |
| Do you have ideas/plans for how to involve fans in your future albums and shows? | A2 - I've got plans! Can't wait to share. For starters...One involving photos to be submitted and used during my live show. Connecting personal memories of fans who listen to my music and realising them on stage while I play the song. x. |
| The new boxset looks amazing (as a big fan I'm having to save up before my preorder, new house comes first unfortunately!), what is the bit that's most exciting to you? | A3 - most exciting bit for me is to hold one myself! Argh! Such a (lovely) headache to bring it to life... all a bit scary as such a commitment from my end to make it. In a monetary sense. A big risk! |
| Cheeky one here. I privately came across an old Frou Frou demo called 'Sane Again'. Am I right in thinking that once it was removed from 'Details' elements of it became part of the Airplane remix? Just a personal theory I had after listening. | A4 - Both were produced with Guy so not surprising they feel similar xx but not directly lifted from one song to the other no. x |
| Hi Imogen! Huge fan here. Thanks for the AMA. I was just curious about your thoughts on Jason Derulo's 'Whatcha Say', and song sampling in general. A lot of people feel sampling ruins the integrity of the original artist's art. Do you feel the same? | For me the art stays as the art. People can choose to listen or not to the hashed versions. I don't want to hold back on a song's journey. I really feel like it should get out there and have fun. It's opened the Imogen Heap door to so many people. So walk in some don't. It's all about helping the music find those that want to connect with it but don't know it yet! Sampling really helps that happen. Fuels it. There's no accounting for taste and something out there for everyone. i don't know if i 'like' whatcha say as such.. I don't follow Jason's career but I can respect that the song is good for many and he clearly connected with many more people that I ever have so good on him! x I love hearing reworks of my songs. I don't like people being sneaky about it. Just ask! it's ok! Credit where credit's due and all that... nothing is truly original anyway.. nothing! x |
| Miss Heap, big fan here, I adore you music and your voice, it's a honor to have you here, welcome! I've been dying to ask a lot of questions, sorry for the load of text! (I copy-pasted it from my AMA request for you) How does performing with those hi-tech gloves go? Is it easy to make mistakes with them? Do you think the technology will be used by more musicians? | I'm a little scared to ask Aphex Twin but love his music. I can't actually imagine it. He's a bit of an enigma isn't he? xx I LOVE performing 'Me The Machine' with my gloves. Link to www.youtube.com this is an early version of it... the album version sounds different as it's recorded but one has fed the other. This is the first song I've performed before I've recorded it. Have been to Belgium before and will go again for sure :) I make mistakes If I've programmed them badly! The key is to make intuitive gestures connecting to functions/ actions I need to access. I hope they'll be used by others. It certainly feels like there's a surge of musicians are up for it from response to the Link to theglovesproject.com wesbite :) |
| Your work has a unique sound to it. I've read about how you threw things on the ground and used the recorded result in a song. What's the most extreme thing you ever did to try and record a specific sound? You've had diverse collaborations with various artists. Did they contact you, or did you contact them? Is there someone who you would like to work with? What do you think working together with Aphex Twin would be like? Among your work, what are your favorite songs to listen to or to perform? My favorite comment on Youtube was when some moron said you didn't look like your typical pop star, on which someone replied that this is because "Imogen Heap isn't a pretty flower. She's a tree. A big, strong tree." How do you feel about that? | The sound of my bare ass slapping for Bad Body Double 'snare' sound. Not exactly extreme but perhaps rather unusual? No extreme sporting recording though! xx Pretty much they always contact me. I don't think i've actively contacted someone else about a collaboration... mm... but loved every one i've done. Always like to take on things I wouldn't have thought of myself. Nop! Just don't eat cheese or drink lemons before I go on stage. I make a cricket noise chirp like thing... but I should really start to do it. I end up warming up on stage and the first song ends up sounding a bit dodgy as a result! LOVE IT! bring it on! Leaves sprouting, roots forming. I become a tree in Propeller Seeds (perhaps that's where they got it?). 3D sound song about the moment I met my last boyfriend. (listen with headphones) xx Link to www.youtube.com |
| I heard that you were very stubborn about your music when you were still at school. Did you do things back then you regret now? | I wasn't stubborn at school just naughty as hell! nah... don't regret anything really. All adds to the mix! |
| Hey Imogen! What's your favorite drink? | Hot chocolate with amaretto x (Adrian helping Immi out with typing as fast as we can) |
| What is joel zimmerman like to work with? | I have never met him in person! It was the first (and only) collaboration i've done with someone I haven't met! i enjoyed our Google hangout we did together. I like a lot of his work. He's a good guy, super talented and hard working. Brutally honest! I like that. x |
| Greetings, Imogen! I absolutely adore everything you've ever done. "Speak for Yourself" goes down as one of the albums I've spent the most time listening to in my lifetime. Thanks so much for stopping in! You seem so deeply involved in every single aspect of making your albums. Is there a part of the whole process you find the most challening? Or a stage of putting an album together that when you get to it you think "I still kinda dislike this bit"? | OH YEAH! I really dislike de-essing but at the same time, can't stop myself from doing it. I could find an engineer or technician to take care of a lot of it and have actually tried but find it difficult to give even the most annoying things up. Something about, even in the way one de-esses a vocal (for instance) that is still 'me'? And I want to give as much as I can to each recording. Another part I do hate... to compound further on that is .. when it's glorious sunshine outside and I'm doing the MOST tedious of studio jobs, I WISH I could let go enough to have someone take over those bits. I think... when babies come into my life... so will a technician! (NOT physically related I imagine) |
| Hi. Imogen! You went to The BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology in South London, right? I've just finished 4 years studying there and would like to know if you have any stories to tell about people you knew and things that happened. And where are your classmates now? | I drank a lot and wasn't very good at turning up to lessons :/ I have a dear friend called Michelle, who is now finding homes for those who have found themselves without one. She's one of my best pals. Not a musician. I think she was studying media? |
| I met my manager of 17 years there. He was a temp teacher. I just thought he fancied me and kept running away from him when he wanted to hear demos of songs. I couldn't understand why anyone would want to hear more songs of mine? It was not my plan to be a pop musician! I was planning on heading to the Royal College of Music to study further and then was going to have have my own orchestra, travel the world and premiere my pieces along the way! Who knows... one day it may still happen :) x I thought I'd give this songwriting/ recording thing a go for a year and if didn't work out would go to study more. But here I am! xx. | |
| Love your work! Can you tell me what stage the musical gloves are at right now? I saw some presentations of it and thought "here is the future of concerts!" Also, Ariana Grande (a current top 40 pop artist) cites you as an inspiration and covers some of your songs. | You can check out our progress blog here for the gloves :) Link to theglovesproject.com And yup... i have now heard of Ariana Grande! Every time she tweets about me my twitter feeds explodes! |
| Your version of Hallelujah blows me away every time I listen to it. What do you look for in a song that you want to take on and sort of retool?What recent songs do you think you could do more with than the original artist? | Initially I said no to do the cover for the OC end of series spot... that's what it was for you see. It was daunting with such a beautiful original and all the great covers that have come along since... also it was a time thing. I had just one evening free to do it. I was in the shower after declining, feeling annoyed about it and thought... well why don't I just sing it a cappella, no music (no days in the studio perfecting this and that and fretting over whether it was good enough/ adding anything to the song's story) and just kept it raw. Accompanied by the sounds of London that night recorded from my balcony. x |
| of all I gotta say I love you a little, well ok a lot. In your song The Moment I Said It, you can hear background voices in one part, that sounds like fighting, what are they saying? I have been trying to figure it out for a long time, also is there a personal story behind this song? | It was me and the fabulous Riche Mills. A brilliant drummer, lover and friend. We were an item. What we said stays between us (but it wasn't a real argument). x |
| Hi! If you weren't making music, what do you think you'd be doing? p.s i love you!!! | I would be an astronaut!! (Adrian here helping Imogen type) |
| Record an album in space. That has to be your ultimate goal. | I would LOVE to go into space. One of these days... if It worked out I could/ i had the money... I would go in a HEARTbeat! To see an earth rise! To see our little blue planet from afar... so fragile, floating in nothingness (or dark matter or whatever)... ooohh i hope I live long enough. it blows my mind we're even here. beautiful wondrous life! |
| Hi Imogen! I'm so excited you're doing this AMA, Must Be Dreaming has been my favorite song for years and I love your work. What influences helped you carve out your unique sound; what inspires your creative process? | People, places, love or lack of, daily details, the small the big, everything! The pattern of a tube train rattling through a tunnel. What matters most is when I'm 'open' to being creative. It's a state of mind. Right now, I'm as far as I can imagine from wanting to go back into the studio again but... if a project came up and I get into the zone, then everything becomes a 'player' for studio noodling. I think over the years... just listening, really listening has been key. Listen to conversations, friends, myself, my instincts, the everyday. I've found just getting away, jogging, walking, going out are greatest ways to get into that space x. |
| Part of your appeal to me is that you aren't all over the charts and your songs aren't overplayed and ruined by radio stations and music channels. It makes your music seem a lot more personal and intimate (im unsure if that's quite the word to use but I hope you get what I mean). Do you prefer not being less 'out there' or would you prefer to be played all over the radio etc? | It's a balance. I don't want to be a trend. People listen to it because its the thing to do.. but somehow how I don't feel I'll ever be in that bracket, thankfully. I enjoy hearing the stories of how people came to hear about my music. Occasionally I do get on the radio and I squeal like a little girl at the novelty of it, or hear something in a cafe and have to go and thank the waiter or whoever put it on personally as it happens so rarely! It feels magic when it does but it's not something I want for particularly. I want it to be natural. I haven't done any club remixes for the sake of getting on the radio or done collaborations with people to get more exposure. I've worked with really famous people yes but it's coz I like them and enjoy being around them or I love their work. |
| Also thanks for making music that is so original and not the usual bland rubbish. Always a pleasure to listen to. | I feel I am the luckiest artist alive to have such an incredibly giving, collaborative, forgiving fan base. To be able to work with musicians I love, be involved in fantastic projects and be invited to incredible conferences. To really add to the picture and be involved in shaping a world I want to live in not run away from. Yet still.. with all this possibility I don't have to deal with fame! What a horrible thing to have to live with. Not being able to walk out your home? being 'papped'. You're every move watched, hounded, scalded. No thank you. For me, I get in a cab and they say... don't worry love, one day you'll make it (coz he hasn't heard of me)... but I HAVE made it just not on your dial. It's such a pleasure to occasionally meet a fan on the tube or in a restaurant every now and then. That it's not all "OH ... MY... GOD!!! you're imogen heap aren't you??"... but it's just friendly, easy. Sometimes a bit overexcited but not to the point of passing out coz I'm of madonna fame. you see? So... super lucky to be able to just carry on making music, make gloves, make a difference here and there but it not impact my everyday life too much. WOOP! |
| Okay, this is a really stupid question, but how do you actually pronounce your name? As a big fan of your work (solo and as a part of Froufrou), I feel silly that I don't actually know for sure if I'm saying your name right... | Pronounced i (as in gin) mo (as in motion) gin (as in gin). Can also sound like imaging (which is why for a very brief time when I was a teenager I was called LASER... as in Laser imaging! |
| What ever happened to Frou Frou? | We did one album, then carried on with whatever we were doing. We are still very good friends. We've known each other for 18 years you know :) He's my favourite producer on the planet still. x. |
| How do you get your hair to stay like that? | That's just what happens when I look at myself in the mirror in the morning (if you referring to copious amount of hairspray look). |
| Will there be a "slightly more Deluxe" or Immi's Favorite version of 'Sparks' released? You know, instrumentals, non-jewel case, etc. | A1. Hello! Yes... there'll be a two disk, digipack like there was with Ellipse (like this but with 2 x cds. The songs and then the instrumental versions of them) Link to www.3dicd.com |
| Hey Imogen! Just wanted to say I’m a big fan of yours! I (like many other people i’m sure) was first introduced to your song Hide and Seek after Saturday Night Live played it in one of their most infamous Digital Shorts. How did your popularity grow after this, and how did you feel about SNL using your music for comedic effect? | It was a real tipping point for sure. Who'd have thought? You never can tell how it's going to happen (unless you're guaranteed radio play artist in which case you just need to have someone write you a half decent pop song and you're off). I'm very precious when making the music, the attention to detail, to meaning but once it's done, it's out of head, my studio and into the big wide world, I love to let them go play and get up to mischief. I don't feel like holding songs back... unless i find it really offensive or in particularly bad taste. I love hearing the songs rejigged, or rehashed. Put into new contexts. Watching people dance to them or rap over them. They have a life of their own for me outside the studio x I feel like a big part of the reason I managed to get an amazing publishing deal and be able to keep my family house in the family is largely due to these anomalies. Long may they continue! It gives me the freedom to be as creative as I like without panicking about the next radio chart position. having said that... it's always nice to actually sell records! x |
| Hi Imogen! So I love your collaboration with deadmau5 and i was wondering, would you ever make another song with him? Telemiscommunications is great and another collab would be amazing. | I think a lot of people were hoping to hear a banging dance tune from me and him but we went and did a chill song! I wrote something earlier in response to whether I'd release a whole album with Jeff Beck (we collaborated before)... and my response was... it's like going on holiday. I always want to go visit somewhere I haven't been before even if I'd had the most amazing time of my life in one country/town or another... I feel it may be the same for me with collaborations. Not enough days of our lives, want to try new stuff, new places, work with new peeps. BUT... you never know! I think he's great x |
| Just one question really...Let Go is my favourite song of ALL time, has great meaning for me, what's the story behind it for you?? That and you truly are the most talented person I know and I am absolutely in love with your music :) xo. | I'm not going to go into too much detail as other people's privacy is involved... but it's about a dear person in my life who was having a really tough time. Sometimes you have to go further than you think to get back 'into' life. x |
| Hello! Any future plans to bring back Frou Frou? I really loved Details and Breathe In is one of my favorite songs! | Never say never ;) Lovely to hear, thank you! (Adrian helping Immi type) |
| I was introduced to your amazing voice when I picked up the Blu Ray of Jeff Beck's Live at Ronnie Scott's concert, and I was completely blown away. Have you ever considered doing a whole album with Jeff? | There are many things I'd love to do but a little of a lot of things is what seems to be the direction in my life. I'm 35 and in the last 17 years of album making have made 5 albums. Roughly 3/4 years an album. It sounds a bit odd perhaps but in the same sense I'd rather go and visit another country for a holiday than go back to a place i'd already been ... even though it'd be amazing and I LOVED it the first time and life changing and and and.. I'd still want to go to a new country. i think it's the same for collaborations perhaps? x |
| Immi, I am one of the lucky "First 100" to purchase your boxed set (which is blowing my mind, by the way. Thanks for coming up with that whole idea of the first 100 being invited to your party, getting their footprints on your cover, and getting a pass to your sound checks. Brilliant marketing!). I will be in London visiting my son from Jan.22 - Feb.22. If the party isn't during that time period, would you ever consider letting me stop by at the House of Round and meeting you when I'm there? It would mean the world to me. | Hopefully it be around then! Have made a note on when you're in UK :) If not... maybe... hmmm... xx Really look forward to meeting you either way and THANKYOU for buying one! xx. |
| If I come to a soundcheck with box-set ticket in hand, can you sign my album for me? :D. | Yes of course I will x (Adrian helping Immi type) |
| Immi, I love the idea for the deluxe box set, but it's a bit out of my price range. Any plans to release a set with just the album + general making-of video? | We are trying to see about paying in instalments! Just seeing if we can sort that this weekend :) The videos will be up at some stage but the book, special ticket, vinyl etc ... will probably just be a part of the box set only. I feel like it all belongs together. Also the playing cards won't be sold separately which act as a kind of bunch of magic keys into the new website, revealed in March. x. |
| Who is your least favorite singeband that is currently in the top charts? | I have no idea what the top charts are and probably wouldn't even have heard of half of them :D (Adrian helping Immi write) |
| We know you've got the gloves, Imogen, but what about the rest of you? Can I expect some kind of awesome Robocop music suit in the future? Thanks for doing this AMA. Love your work! | I may not need to, as camera recognition software is getting so good that with the new Kinect this may not be necessary. For me it is all about expressing music gesturally and to feel like I am actually playing an instrument, so the gloves are designed to be like a second skin and easy and quick to setup and put on. A full body suit might even be a hindrance in that case. (Adrian helping Immi type) |
| Hello there! Some good friends of mine named their daughter "Imogen". Is "Ginny" an appropriate abbreviation of the name? What do your friends call you for short? | I suppose it's as good as any! My mum tried to get immo to stick but I didn't really dig it... so my friends call me Immi but more and more actually i feel comfortable with Imogen the older I get. It felt a bit posh when I was little but I love it now. Apparently Imogen is now the no.1 girl baby name as of this year in the US (from never being in the top 100.. I don't think it's all coz of me... but maybe a small part?) so now people will know how to pronounce it and it just becomes an ordinary name! |
| Imogen, I am an unashamed male fan of yours , I am also a musician myself ( but not a very good one ) . You use a lot of ambient sounds in your music that sound absolutely phenomenal , what gave you the idea to blend these sounds together ? And where do you see your career going ? | I think some of the other questions have already been answered. However, here is one for ya: My audience is actually by a tiny fraction more male than female. How about that? (Adrian helping Immi write) |
| Hi Imogen! Which one of your 3 albums was the most rewarding to make and why? | Always the last one because THANK GOD it's done! But really... this one, Sparks. So many projects connected to it. each song has a whole story to it. Sometimes hundreds of people sometimes just one (me). From China to India, a pair of gloves, an app, a neglected walled garden! Was trying to find the press release for you but I can't find it at present... will find and copy here in a bit x. |
| IMOGEN HEAP TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM “SPARKS” ON MARCH 4TH, 2014 | |
| IMOGEN HEAP ASKS HER FANS TO BE A PART OF THE ALBUM COVER Grammy and Ivor Novello award winning recording artist Imogen Heap will release her highly anticipated 4th solo album “Sparks” on March 4th, 2014 through RCA Records. | |
| Imogen Heap has asked her fans to accompany her in completing the final leg of her new album "Sparks". Those who pre-order the limited edition deluxe box set are asked to send in their footprints which will be used to create the album cover. This strictly limited edition deluxe box will be available a week earlier than the standard releases on February 25th, 2014. Designed and developed over the past two years by Imogen and her creative team with CSV (the company behind Radiohead’s special packaging) it will be the very first time that Imogen has released a deluxe package. The pre-order is open now until September 30th. The submitted footprints will also be a part of a "special ticket” which will be included within the deluxe box set. This ticket is made from a one-of-a-kind blended paper containing various items that Imogen has used in the physical recording of the songs for the album. In addition, the ticket will give fans access to one of the sound checks on her world tour where they will get to meet Imogen in person and see her rehearsing and setting up before the show. To find out more about the deluxe box set and to make a pre-order please visit: Link to www.imogenheap.com | |
| Says Heap, “The album began with someone sending in the sound of striking a match for what became Lifeline in March 2011. I then dived into the most immense, intense creative 2 and a half years of my life that took me all over the planet, collaborating on so many projects with so many people and often totally spontaneously. The album is then in some ways for me grounded with fans’ footprints bringing the finishing touch for the album art, as so many of them came along for the ride.” | |
| “Sparks” will be available in two CD formats – a standard edition and a double disc casebound edition with instrumental versions of all tracks. The deluxe package will contain 12 individual CDs, the album on CD, 14 HD music videos, plus videos documenting the making of each song and the entire album, a double 10” vinyl album, a special deck of playing cards which unlock exclusive web content and a 120 page coffee-table-style book telling the story of “Sparks” along with the special ticket of blended items. | |
| While working on “Sparks,” Heap turned songs into projects and projects into songs to bring her out of her studio and 'let life in' rather than postponing things until her album was done. This fresh approach found Imogen collaborating with everyone from her fans to unsuspecting passers-by, gardeners to filmmakers, scientists to newspaper journalists and brings us her most diverse and daring body of work to date. From the River Thames (You Know Where To Find Me) to 5000 feet up in the Himalayas (Climb to Sakteng, Cycle Song), from her local community garden (Neglected Space) to 6 weeks in the Chinese metropolis of Hangzhou (Xizi She Knows), Heap was soaking it up, writing, developing, recording and producing. Inspired from the sounds of a dishwasher door, a Bhutanese dranyen, and the words of a crumbling wall to 700 fans’ voices, Heap and her brilliant team created and developed the groundbreaking musical gloves over this period (Me The Machine) and dabbled in generative and reactive music (Run-Time) connected to a jogging app. From the deeply personal love songs Propeller Seeds and Entanglement to the crowd sourced response to the Sendai earthquake (Lifeline), her trademark honesty runs through the album. | |
| One of the songs will only be finished once she’s dead! The Listening Chair whizzes us through her first 35 years in 5 minutes and will be added to every 7 years with another minute of a cappella song! | |
| In late August 2009, Heap released the critically acclaimed Ellipse (RCA Records) and won the Grammy Award for Best Engineered Album, Non Classical. The album debuted at #5 on the Billboard Top 200, #1 on the Internet Album Chart and #2 on the Digital Album chart. The release is Heap's first Top 5 record and marks her highest-ever chart position. | |

| Hi Immi! Unrelated information, but as a 6"2 death metal loving bearded male I have a total guilty secret love for you and your music. Anyway! With that said... just really wanted to ask where you draw your inspiration for the unique from? Sometimes I hear bits in your songs which just make PERFECT sense, but confuse the life out of me how you thought to add that - is there an element of just trying it out and seeing what works, or do you just strike genius thoughts at times and know how you want it to sound? | Approach like a haiku i imagine. Throw tons of stuff at a mix/ idea and see what happens, filters down. Very rarely it's genius striking... i get lucky with law of averages as I throw so much at a mix perhaps? |
| Often have heart breaking moments of realising the thing I love most about a mix/ spent ages making needs to go! Kill your babies (sounds like a death metal lyric??)... I have a guilty secret too... one of my favourite gigs ever was seeing Meshuggah play live at reading. Phenomenal! | |
| Imogen!! Hi! Unlikely to be answered, but would you consider playing Flicks on your next tour? And will your albums ever make it onto vinyl format?! Cheers x. | When I tour... i ask people coming to the shows to vote in advance for their favourite songs. The top 20 get in :) x Different every night. Interesting to see what towns seems to prefer what songs :) x |

| As someone who has frequented the Des Moines baconfest (and been friends with several of the past bacon queens) what sets Chicago apart from other baconfests? I only ask because Iowa is all about corn and hogs. What connection to bacon does Chicago have? | They tell me you are wicked and I believe them, for I have seen your painted women under the gas lamps luring the farm boys. And they tell me you are crooked and I answer: Yes, it is true I have seen the gunman kill and go free to kill again. And they tell me you are brutal and my reply is: On the faces of women and children I have seen the marks of wanton hunger. And having answered so I turn once more to those who sneer at this my city, and I give them back the sneer and say to them: Come and show me another city with lifted head singing so proud to be alive and coarse and strong and cunning. Flinging magnetic curses amid the toil of piling job on job, here is a tall bold slugger set vivid against the little soft cities; Fierce as a dog with tongue lapping for action, cunning as a savage pitted against the wilderness, Bareheaded, Shoveling, Wrecking, Planning, Building, breaking, rebuilding, Under the smoke, dust all over his mouth, laughing with white teeth, Under the terrible burden of destiny laughing as a young man laughs, Laughing even as an ignorant fighter laughs who has never lost a battle, Bragging and laughing that under his wrist is the pulse, and under his ribs the heart of the people, Can't seem to get that formatted but Chicago has a LONG history with pork. More importantly, people here love to eat it now, chefs love to cook it, and bacon festers love to fest it. Our event is pretty different from Des Moines - smaller and more gourmet restaurant focused. |
| What was the hardest part of creating baconfest? The easiest? What's the strangest thing you've seen? | The hardest part is the logistics - basically we have one room that we rent for a couple of days and spend six months arranging for stuff and people to arrive at that room in a very short window of time. That's equipment, tables, chefs, food, beer, tradeshow booths, furniture, computers, merch, etc. All has to get there at the right time. The week of the event is always a little hair-raising to be sure that all the stuff gets to the right place. Since we have different restaurants at each shift, it's complicated to get them in and out with all their stuff - on Saturday we have a lunch shift and a dinner shift - between the two, we have move 50 restaurants out of the room, clean it up, and get 50 new restaurants back in - all in about two hours. I don't really relax that weekend until the changeover is done. |
| The easiest? drinking a cold beer on the mezzanine looking out over the crowd at 6:15 during the saturday shift and realizing that we conjured that experience out of thin air: Link to www.flickr.com | |
| Strangest? These awesome bacon pirates that came and won our costume contest: Link to www.flickr.com | |
| What spurred you to create the event back in 2009? | Great question! |
| My partners went to see a rock and roll puppet musical called "Beer" which a local theater company put on (The Neo Futurists: Link to neofuturists.org.) | |
| After the show they went home and thought - what do we feel so strongly about that we would write a rock and roll puppet musical about it. The obvious answer: BACON! | |
| So they started writing some songs but got bored and decided to just throw a big bacon party instead. | |
| I got a call at 11:30pm from my buds saying : "Dude - let me know what you think about this idea: Baconfest Chicago - The Burning Man of Bacon". | |
| I liked the idea once I realized there were no art cars or hallucinogens involved. | |
| The next week, we set up our fb / twitter and drafted our manifesto and started to get interest from restaurants and bacon-lovers. | |
| What a magical story. you "invented" this? Or did you just follow on after other successful events? Link to blueribbonbaconfestival.com. | We didn't learn about the existence of Blue Ribbon BaconFest until after we started building ours. We certainly know them now and wish them the best - Brooks came to our event last year. Convergent evolution i guess! |
| My native city already has a competing baconfest which makes me wonder how many baconfest business owners there are. I was curious, do you plan on branching out to other cities? | There has been a baconfest explosion since we started. In 2009, the only other Baconfests we were aware of were Des Moines and Atlanta. Since then there are hundreds of other fests that have appeared, some great, some less than great, some restaurant focused and gourmet like ours, others that are more carnivalesque. |
| We have entertained expansion into other cities - we were very close to doing a festival in San Francisco two years ago but had to bail on it for a combination of reasons (timing, finances, etc). We've looked into DC and Green Bay WI too but haven't made another one happen yet. | |
| We work very hard on making Baconfest Chicago a truly fun and awesome event and would only expand if we could be confident that we'd be able to reproduce what we like about our event in new cities without going broke :) | |
| What's the best way to cook bacon? | Depends! I like it fried hard with sunny-side up eggs. But there's a million ways I like it. One of the cool things about Baconfest is that you get to see how creative chefs work bacon into all sorts of dishes. Our buddy Pat Sheerin at Trenchermen in Chicago did a dish a few years ago that was Bacon-Stuffed Bacon: big slabs of bacon cut in to thick chunks that were then used as a sausage casing and stuffed with ground bacon. That bacon-log was braised with maple and topped with "whipped pancakes". Yum. |
| Hello Bacon aficionado, congrats on all your success with the event and hopes it keeps growing for years to come. | We are creatures of social media. We've relied heavily on Twitter and FB to get the word out. We were lucky that our event came onto the scene at a moment when those channels were not overwhelmed with promotions so we were able to establish our voice and get to be part of the growing restaurant / foodie social media community. |
| I wanted to ask you what methods did you use to get the word out about the event and any suggestions if I wanted start something of how to go about it? | Other than that, word of mouth, email, traditional PR. We get a fair amount of attention from local and national media. People like the bacon story. Link to baconfestchicago.com |
| What is your favorite bacon? Brand and or style of bacon? | Each occasion calls for its own bacon. We have a certain fondness for Nueske's Applewood Smoked bacon, not just because they send tons (literal tons) to our event, but because it's super delicious. But I also like slab bacon form a local Chicago smokehouse called Georges which is perfect for lardons. Dreymiller and Kray makes an amazing bacon that they smoke over wood from Goose Island Bourbon County barrels. |
| $100 for bacon and beer? Am I missing something here? | I mean that's the basic idea. The bacon dishes are pretty interesting and showcase a lot of creativity from some excellent chefs. There's more than just beer - cocktails and wine too. But yeah, it's $100 for access to a bacon-wonderland. Plus there is a charitable component - we gave $75,000 to the Greater Chicago Food Depository last year alone. Think of it as a nice meal out including drinks. |
| What shift is the best one to go to this year? | Wow! You're welcome and thank you for the glowing endorsement. Really makes me feel great to hear such high praise! |
| What's one restaurant that hasn't participated yet that you're excited for this year? | I don't know which restaurants will be at which shift yet. We try to balance out the shifts so there are some big names at each and some sleepers that we'd love to see get more attention. I haven't noticed dinner shifts having better food, though I usually enjoy the Sat Dinner best, because I get a few drinks in me and can relax and chat. |
| What's your dream choice of a restaurant to join in? | We haven't released the roster yet, but one new one is The Winchester which I'm super excited about- they just opened in the last year. I'd love to get some out of town chefs in - somebody like a Chris Cosentino or Sean Brock. |
| Have you ever had Epic Deli? | Never heard of it, but now I'll check it out! Thanks for the lead and see you in April! |
| What's your definition of invent? | I mean we had an idea and then we made it happen. There are obviously other tasting events that we looked at for our model - Green City Market in Chicago throws an amazing BBQ every summer with great restaurants. So we didn't invent the idea of a ticketed food festival but there was no Baconfest Chicago before and now there is. |
| God bless you, sir. | Thank you. I accept your blessing :) |
| What's the largest amount of bacon you've cooked so far? | Our bacon sponsor Nueske's delivers bacon to the restaurants who want to use it their event. Last year they shipped 7,800 lbs of bacon to our exhibitors. So, in a way, I cooked nearly 4 tons of bacon that day. |
| Edit: in your entire life, not just at the fest? | For my own personal consumption - I probably haven't cooked more than a pound at a time. |
| Do you participate in the consumption of this bacon at the fest, or have you focused on cooking it instead? I think, as much as I love bacon I might get baconed out! | At the festival itself, I'm usually running around like a chicken with my head cut off so I don't get to eat as much as I'd like. We have a chef competition - restaurants compete to win the "Golden Rasher" for most creative use of bacon. I try to sample all of the finalists and winners at least. Last year, Michael Jordan's steakhouse made a bacon-chunk in clams casino broth with little calabrian chilis that won one of the prizes. It was outstanding: Link to www.flickr.com |

Doch auch wenn Volpe immer wieder in Verbindung mit Trap oder Cloudrap genannt wird, hat er sich in seinem eigenen Œuvre – insbesondere der bis dato vierteiligen „Instrumentals“-Serie – immer mehr davon wegbewegt; hört man etwa noch mal sein zutiefst berührendes „I’m God“ mit dem mittlerweile ikonischen Imogen-Heap-Sample, scheint ein Album wie „Moon Trip Radio“ schon von ...
