This official Eigenlabs video takes a look at Imogen Heap and her thoughts on the new electronic instrument, the Eigenharp.
via eigenlabs:
Imogen Heap is an award winning artist with Ivor Novello and Grammy awards to her name. Respected among her peers and adored by her fans, she truly embraces both modern technology and traditional instruments in her creative process.
We met in ‘the hideaway’, her home studio….
Is it just me, or do most of her comments about the eigenharp seem speculative. Like they just took one around to show her, but she hasn't actually spent any time with it.
It would have been nice if they gave one to her to play with for a few months and than came back to get her feelings about it and let her show off some of the cool things she is doing with it.
Yeah, she seems tense and pushed into saying something positive when it appears she doesn't have a clue (yet).
it does take a while to get to know the eigenharp alpha and figure out how it could be used in her performances…we've been spending some time with it, but she's not yet using it on stage until it can be as seamless as the rest of her gear. so it's still in the future, but she's genuinely enthusiastic about it… (-kelly snook, studio manager/engineer, imogen heap)
Love to see another video a couple more months down the line! Perhaps a sneak peak of her first use of it live?
