These still inspire me. Please do not ever get rid of these... maybe you should put all of these together on a disc for me and I'll send you a good chunk of $$$
I once realized I couldn't be a musician because the lack of creativity, but thank good people like you exist :) Love ur music, keep up the good work :)
Immi. It's rare that an artist can take one of their classic songs, one so timelessly etched in the listener's ear as is Hide&Seek....then revisit the song and bring out even more dynamic and soul..flesh it out beyond the original as you've done with Hide&Seek 2. It's a brilliant bit of work, yet at the same time doesn't lessen the effect of the original. Bravo Immi!!
I LOVE every single thing you put in your music. I've never felt such a strong urge to buy any singer's album, because I wasn't sure how their entire album sounded, but for immie, I'm dead absolute sure no matter what genre, electrico, harmony, acoustic etc etc I love it. I've got every song, and I love even the short previews sound gorgeous. Simply love your creative spirit, and the range of musical instruments used are amazing. I'm crazy over the hangdrum, and you also got one for yourself!
Imogen your so talented it blows me away with every blog! and you play like every instrument! You really are so great! COME TO UTAH!!! we love you so much here!!!!
That acoustic of Hide and Seek is soooooo cool! I can't wait to hear the whole thing! Tidal and Pollyfilla is really coming along too. The amount of instruments she has command over is insane....
Polyfila sounds amazing!! I just keep playing this blog over and over so I can hear the clips of it. I'm really excited for your new album and can't wait to hear all these great songs in full.
WOW, i can truly say you are my favorite artist of all time! i am just so amazed at all the ideas that you get and incorporating that gameboy sound has got to be the most creative and random thing i have ever seen (heard). You truly are amazing and i love watching the blogs! I hate the fact that i can never seem to fins your cd's in miami, FL at F.Y.E. but hopefully this new cd will be there on the first day! It sounds amazing. Thank you for all your creativity and the music you bring to us!
I adore you! I can't wait for your new cd. You're my favorite. My six year old daughter's favorite song in the world is Goodnight and Go. I have it on my playlist and it came up today and she dropped everything she was doing to come and dance and sing it to me. We love your music.
I can't even express how much I love you and your music. You're so creative and inspiring. I don't know how many times I already said it but I: "Can't wait for the album to come out!" Polyfila sounds promising and Tidal is simply the best).
This is making me look forward to the new album so much! I still can't get over the fact that you put the opening gameboy sound on 'tidal'. And the new 'hide and seek' sounds pretty cool. You are a truly unique artist and i am proud to be a fan. : D
Amazing! A Gameboy sound inside a well revered musician's songs! You could start a revelation! Next try the DS' opening sound! xP Always a fan Immi! VU
Okay.. This is soooo cool. But it is like a monstrous torture to like at those Vblogs and wait for december to have this masterpiece in hands... ARGH! I can'r wait too. I'm in love with her personality xD
this vblog gets me so excited, you wouldn't believe. you have a way of giving enough away so that we all want it all now. you should bottle it. I'd by it. hurry number 28.
I hope your friends keep talking you into contributing a track here and there. It's nice to get these little in-between-album snacks. :) Good luck catching up!
Wow. Immi, you're crazy mad bloody brilliant. I keep hearing these bits of genius you've got all saved up and I'm dying to hear the finished versions of everything...played all the way through... I like the acoustic hide and seek with the drone, especially the part you changed up. Maybe you could squeeze it in somewhere?
In barbershop music, the word overtone is often used in a different (though related) way. It refers to a psychoacoustic effect in which a listener hears an audible pitch that is higher than, and different from, the four pitches being sung by the quartet. The barbershopper's "overtone" is created by the interactions of the overtones in each singer's note (and by sum and difference frequencies created by nonlinear interactions within the ear). *continued*
haha i loved the gameboy part so much! (9:25-ish to the end) It sounded so cute ^_^ I kinda wish it was on the final recording! haha but Tidal still a great song, anyway :P It's so cool to see how she progressed and put together all of her songs; all of the changes and modifications, etc.. and it's also kinda fun to see what bits of her life are like. She's taken us on an awesome, wild adventure with lots of creative twists and turns :)
So THAT's what that noise is.... a sruti box. The Penguin Cafe Orchestra uses the drone of one of those in at least one of their recordings. (That I can think of off the top of my head...) Thanks for unintentionally revealing that mystery for me, haha. Really like the samples... can't wait to hear the album. :)
i know now that i'll really like the new cd and her remake of hide and seek is gorgeous i'm glad she did it!i'll buy all your cds and support you always!
I always leave a long-winded comments on your blogs but perhaps I'll just post one that's simple and concentrates my feelings in a few words: You're prodigious, brilliant, beautiful and often wonderfully ineffable. I love you!
I really hope you read these. Anyway, that phenomena you were talking about with Hide N Seek in barbershop terms is called an "overtone". Most oscillators, from a guitar string to a bell (or even the hydrogen atom or a periodic variable star) will naturally vibrate at a series of distinct frequencies known as normal modes. The lowest normal mode frequency is known as the fundamental frequency, while the higher frequencies are called overtones... continued
What a talent you are!!! Your blend of originality and accesability is just right. I look really forward to the new album. Hope you are going to record some real string orchestra on your album.
That's just creepy...I was about to suggest getting a fitball at vlog#25...or something...like that...! O_o Getting more and more exited...CAN'T WAIT!!! Love the "new" Hide & Seek!!!
The last time, when i heard Tidal, i thought, that i won't like it, but now i feel totally different. That gameboy thing is really funny. It's the first time to see your studio from an other angle. One day you should make a panorama for us. Anyway, i love Your vBlog :-)
Amazinnggg. There's a very small chance, but i'd die to come see you at poptech. I can't wait to get the new Hide and Seek for myself! I'm like you, totally prefer it to the original. The gameboy is amazing as usual, and that sound was almost made for one of your songs. ♥
Oh my god I cant wait to here that hide and seek all the way IT SOUNDS SOOOOOOOOO GOOOD...:-( the little we did get.....Hope your ankle gets better soon :-( GL IN LIFE!!!
i LOVE the gameboy in tidal :') thats so clever and it sound ssoo nice ^_^ i also love the new version of hide and seek. i actually thought that song could not get any better. i love it you fascinate me immy
Hmmm... October 23rd is my 40th birthday (yes, you have some geriatric fans, too), so keep up the pace :) Nice thing you did for Rupert (and Tibet), been a fan of his since before you were born, I think.
lol same here! I use to actually improv it with a bit of Japanese because it sounded kind of like what Sesshoumaru (from Inuyasha) says on the first PS1 game. I forget what it was exactly, something like "Sokuma da na" or whatever he says (haven't played in years :P) Now when I listen, it's totally obvious.
I have to agree. Tidal sounds really promising, and it's the reason I faved this video, but I don't really think the Gameboy works in it. It may be in tune, but it doesn't necassarily mean that it needs to be used! Keep up the good work, though! FFMOOGLE.
very cool Imogen, I still hope your mixing a 5.1 surround sound version of your upcoming new album. Please, pretty please do this if you can. I would love to play your music in High Def surround sound. much love Rob
I hope she keeps that part of the song as well. And as a side note, I am really glad you wrote out "tidal" because this whole time I thought it was "title" hehe... or is it?? Adrian Hotness
what is that song that is playing while she is showing us that she is sitting on her fit ball? I love it, is it a new song that she hasnt revieled to us yet? Cause it souds really good
i always thought that the song "Hide and Seek" was about a certain divorce close to Immi's life!.. But thats her choice to keep the real truth behind the song to herself. The album is coming on great... so many teasers lol... she's just fantastic. Pity no so called stars do this for her fans... but hey thats Immi.....
These still inspire me. Please do not ever get rid of these... maybe you should put all of these together on a disc for me and I'll send you a good chunk of $$$
AAAAH I can't WAIT!!!! Imogen you really are a musical GENIUS. I adore every sound you make...and listening to you speak is just lovely.
I once realized I couldn't be a musician because the lack of creativity, but thank good people like you exist :)
Love ur music, keep up the good work :)

The music for Tidal is just delicious. Nice touch with the game boy, simple but smart.
The album is going to be awesome!! Love all the various sound instruments and resonations.
WOW, i can truly say you are my favorite artist of all time! i am just so amazed at all the ideas that you get and incorporating that gameboy sound has got to be the most creative and random thing i have ever seen (heard). You truly are amazing and i love watching the blogs!

Okay.. This is soooo cool.

I honestly can't wait for your new songs. They're going to sound so good.

This is so awesome! I can't believe she used her game boy for that! I have the yellow one haha. So creative wow
loving Tidal...
cant wait for the album, seriously.

I like the Gameboy too. Tidal does sound amazing, as well. The Gameboy just seems to fit, I agree with BadarBasim.
I couldn't agree more... she's pretty amazing.
sounds great Immi, keep up the good work.
i know now that i'll really like the new cd and her remake of hide and seek is gorgeous i'm glad she did it!i'll buy all your cds and support you always!

The gameboy is amazing as usual, and that sound was almost made for one of your songs.
♥
It all sounds amazing. I do hope you meet your own deadline! :p
WOW! Talk about Creativity! *claps*
Tidal sounds incredible.

You're the best person ever.
Hmmm... October 23rd is my 40th birthday (yes, you have some geriatric fans, too), so keep up the pace :)

You're amazing. I really adore you!
I have to agree. Tidal sounds really promising, and it's the reason I faved this video, but I don't really think the Gameboy works in it. It may be in tune, but it doesn't necassarily mean that it needs to be used!

very cool Imogen, I still hope your mixing a 5.1 surround sound version of your upcoming new album. Please, pretty please do this if you can.
I would love to play your music in High Def surround sound.
much love
Rob
Great stuff......xx
Awesome!!! :)
I hope she keeps that part of the song as well. And as a side note, I am really glad you wrote out "tidal" because this whole time I thought it was "title" hehe... or is it??
Adrian Hotness
yeah I really like that riff. Plenty of material for special editions though :)
Imogen is so amazing and talented! Can you sing a song for us on your blog!?!?!?!
You should get a bow that is used for a cello or double bass...and pull it along the cymbals your using for little bird..it makes a cool sound...
Was the Game Boy sound taken out of the final version of Tidal? I've been listening to it from the website, and noticed that it wasn't in there.
ooooh, what song is that at the end i really love it...acoustic guitar and gameboy sound awesome together!! ahahah...nobody but you!! :)
what is that song that is playing while she is showing us that she is sitting on her fit ball? I love it, is it a new song that she hasnt revieled to us yet? Cause it souds really good
you're the cutest, most cheerful person ever :P
i always thought that the song "Hide and Seek" was about a certain divorce close to Immi's life!..
But thats her choice to keep the real truth behind the song to herself.
The album is coming on great... so many teasers lol... she's just fantastic. Pity no so called stars do this for her fans... but hey thats Immi.....
Imogen, you rule!!!!!
Love Hide & Seek Imi! Do you like Tiesto's mix of your song?
Hide and Seek 2 is great. sounds like Song to the Siren.
I was wondering, when is your CD coming out???
regarding the light panels.... if a bulb burns out, how easy is it to replace it?
wow! you're so cool! exciting stuff.
you are just amazing :) good luck
