i meant to post this a long time ago.
you may know imogen heap for her solo work, or more likely as part of frou frou. the music’s ok, sometimes too mellow for me.
but i saw this youtube video of imogen singing “just for now” a capella (sort of) and i was so impressed by her ability to create such a full and rich performance with her voice, her hands, and a mixer. all those layers took quite some coordination. who needs a band or backup singers when you’ve got a mixer?
