Assembling noise with personal vignettes
Imogen explains editing the noise, inserting family recordings and vignettes to create emotional contrast.
John sits down with Imogen Heap to talk about how she wrote, recorded and produced the EP IAM _ _ _.
Imogen Heap is a British composer, artist, and producer, widely regarded as a pioneer in electronic pop and music technology. Over the years, her music has evolved from alternative to electronica, producing acclaimed albums such as Speak for Yourself and Ellipse, and collaborating with artists including Taylor Swift and Jon Hopkins. She consistently integrates technology into her practice, developing innovations like the Mi.Mu gloves and Mogen, an AI voice model that plays a central role in her 2025 EP ‘I AM__’.
