A friend recently turned me on to the music of singer-songwriter, Imogen Heap. A standout track from her latest CD is called “Hide and Seek”. This track has been in several movies and TV. Besides an absolutely beautiful melody, what stands out immediately about the track is the lush “a capella” vocal arrangement.
After seeing her perform this song on one of the late shows (I can’t remember which one….maybe it was Late Call Tonight with Conan David Kimmel), I noticed that she was using a midi keyboard and some sort of outboard device to create the vocal “harmonies”. In reality it was her voice multiplied and pitchshifted in real-time. Very cool.
I got curious as to exactly how she created this track. So, I googled it. (On a side note: how funny is it that google is now a common verb?) Anyway, if you’re curious about this kind of stuff like I am, here’s a link to an interview with Imogen Heap on DragonFire. Enjoy!
