I’ve enjoyed her music, and I read an article recently about Imogen Heap. I think more than any other muscian I’ve heard interviewed, she approaches her music as a normal human being might. She’s an incredibly talented producer and songwriter, but she doesn’t make any big deal about what she does. She selects gear or sounds based on personal preference, without much thought to what’s high-end or acceptable. More importantly, she puts a lot of elbow grease into arranging what she makes, so her songs are a product of talent and hard work. Yet what I find most admirable is her a light-hearted, dare I say smartly poetic, attitude toward life and music, without being a clueless hippie. She just seems to have a good time.

I’m going to catch her performance at the Vic in November. Should be a nice show.
