Currently a song is uploaded and then it is as if it just falls off a cliff. To enable the artists and their teams to shape how their music is used from one day to the next. We want to see an open database that describes the whole music industry, so that everyone involved can be recognized and rewarded. This involves overseeing the building and protecting of a verified database for the music community creatives, their work, and their collaborators. In a nutshell, Mycelia ( ) has become a think and do tank, for the purpose of connecting the dots between artists, services and fans to create a sustainable music industry ecosystem. We sat down with the sound master herself to find out more about this plan to save the music industry from itself by turning it not so much on its head, but on its feet. Today, Imogen is focused on her Mycelia incentive, of which she reveals all below. Here’s a link to the sampler for a taster of each song. Videos and making of documentaries were made for each song. Taking her to work with a Chinese City for Xizi She Knows, developing her music gloves for Me The Machine and making a running app with Run-Time. was Imogen’s first real breakthrough moment, and also the first time thousands of people heard her music and found themselves asking, ‘how did she do that? Imogen’s next album was followed up by the Grammy winning Ellipse, which she video blogged the whole process (including the building of her home studio) and he rmost recent album Sparks, saw her doing a project for every song. (which broke quite a few artists), and even more so when it was heavily sampled in the number one hit song, Whatcha Say, by Jason Derulo.

Here she learned about mixing and engineering, recording real audio. She attended the prestigious BRIT School of performing arts after that to do her A-levels. As has been the case with many of our brightest musicians, Imogen did not get along well with her music teacher at school but found herself in the small cupboard which had an Atari and some music software on it, 25 years ago! She read the manual and so began her work with music and computers. The opening piano riff, played by the musically well-educated Heap, sounds like a nod to the bizarre French composer Erik Satie (1866-1925).The signs that Imogen Heap was going to be a game changer came at an early age. It takes some daring to introduce yourself to the world with a song like “Sweet Religion,” which questions the existence of eternal life after death.

That, plus the fact that she’s a perfectionist. But when you consider that she’s composing, arranging, singing, playing all of the instruments, producing, and even inventing new musical technology, you can understand why each project takes her so long. In the 20 years since her first album appeared, British artist Imogen Heap has released only three more full-length solo records.
