How do you say her name?
Cran. Geek. Not Greek.
Imo-jen with the last syllable rhyming with “pen”
Oooooh! I thought it said Greek. 
Thank you. I thought it was pronounced like Emma-Jean.
If you listen to the David Letterman You-tube clip, you will hear David introduce her as Emma-jen, with the 2nd syllable rhyming with pen.
Excellent, thanks for bringing her to my attention!
My favourite moment is when they show the three roadie people listening, spellbound. I think we’re all sitting there with them.
I’m sure Imogen has a really busy schedule, but imagine her doing this for a group of people with learning difficulties, or a group of blind people, and getting them to create samples that she weaves into a sound tapesty alongside her own stuff.
Pierre Bensusan is another master of these techniques.
What I love about this is that it’s her living voice (not a synthesizer) and she’s creating the loops right in the moment. She had to do a lot of work first to set that up, learn her technology forewards and backwards, but once she is creating the music, it’s flowing directly from her.
I used to do some work with synths / MIDI / sequencers but it always sounded lifeless. Sort of robotic 
Finally I used the sequencer to just to compose music and then had human beings with real instruments play it. That was a huge improvement!
This is part of the reason I love Irish flute compared to a synthesizer-- it’s connected to your breath (not electrons moving through wires). And it can take years to get the tone and expression you want. It’s not just a matter of tweaking a knob to change the filters and the attack / decay. It’s more like a relationship with a living thing.
I have such attraction to ITM and want to learn it in an authentic way…
But part of me is drawn to the Dark Side 
I think the looping in realtime is very cool.
I’m going to see if I can do some research about how you could play around with this on your own without sinking too much money into it. It mentioned in the article that Imogen is using a Korg Electribe-- there is a version of that which will make samples and turn them into loops in realtime. That looks to be $ 500 ish 
then there’s also some entry level software where you can record yourself singing / playing and make loops, but not in realtime. That one was about $ 50.
I did find one example of software where you can do this in realtime, but I haven’t tracked down a price on that yet.
To be continued!
three or four of the things in the Keyboard Mag list are Mac software…
Something interesting: I just opened the video in four different windows, at different times. It almost sounds like a single sound.
