Remember a few weeks back, when Imogen Heap announced that she would write and produce her next album with the help of her fans?
791 sounds and 225 solos later, Imogen is happy to present the first song she’s written with contributions of some of her most loyal fans. For us here at SoundCloud HQ, it was a fantastic experience to watch her nightly video live streams during which she previewed the many sounds you’ve sent her.
So earlier this week, what started known as #heapsong1 turned into a song called Lifeline, which you can listen to below:
This track wouldn’t exist without the sounds from Anna Ponto, Carli D., Ashley Wilson, Jess Jacobs (#1, #2), Melissa Cavileer, Alexandra Borne, Jen Cork, Patricia Islas, Kellyn Goler, Daniel Dols, Robin Beanland, Kristian H, Toby Barnett (#1, #2, #3), Suzi Starlite (#1, #2), Sowick, Arron Pelo, Robert Ponto, RunningRiver, Chris with Alan, Nathan Vollmer, Avangion, Jose Cuevas, Lee Harris, Danny Klingler, Dan Gee, Rouxbarbe, Michael Drebert, Alessandro Pirollo, Tristan Horton, hardroqr, Elizabeth Hentze, Christian Cyfus, Johnathon Henderson, Roo Kidd, Stu Henderson and palcasopatatas.
That’s 40 sounds from 36 different people!
This project is another proof for Imogen always being at the forefront of where technological innovation, creativity and fan engagement meet. Massive kudos to her and her team for pulling this off with such an incredible dedication.
Thanks to Imogen and everyone who participated. This is another beautiful example for what the web can do to form and shape communities. Stories like this one is why we wake up every morning. so if you’d like to support Imogen, you can purchase the single with bonus material right here.
