A weird & beautiful instrument / Imogen Heap
Sunday, May 16, 2010
This is a musical instrument called a "hang". It looks like a flying saucer and this guy plays it wonderfully. I'm in love with the sound this thing makes. I discovered it about a year ago on one of Imogen Heap's video blogs.
Imogen uses an unusual variety of objects to put her songs together. It's one of the things that make her music so special! (aside from her amazingly pure voice with which she can sing almost any note and sound incredibly sincere) Heck, she even used her ass as a sound effect in Bad Body Double! (amongs many other things.) Imogen always finds new ways to turn every day things into sounds for her songs. It's sort of like recycling. Like everything has the potential to sound lovely.
She's been my favorite singer for the past 4 years and I doubt that it'll ever change. Almost every single one of her songs are a part of who I am, of my life since I was 15 in different times and phases. I hope you guys have your own ultimate favorite singer/band because it's a special thing to have. It reminds you of who you are, what you've been through and keeps you grounded. That can come in very handy.
