GIRLY MUSIC SCIENTIST

It's always good to get the creative juices stirred up by watching someone else in concert or by going to an art exhibition. Last night I ventured to Brighton to hear the unique Imogen Heap. Only recently has she invaded my space but it was an amazingly refreshing experience. She is a girl with gadgets, building up tracks as she plays and handling vocoders and samplers as if they were child's toys. She has an eccentric simplicity and a huge capacity for making music that leaves you shouting for more. She is definitely one artist to look out for. Her concerts are a work of wonder. Long live the spirit of originality!!

I was recently asked a question about how we can stay 'out of the box'. As I was considering my reply, a friend remarked that it's probably best not to get in the box in the first place!!! There were no boxes on stage last night!!

THE MUSIC OF POETRY

I had an inspirational evening watching JANE SIBERRY in concert in London. She delivers her songs with an honesty that unearths a fresh appreciation for melody and awakens a thirst for the story behind the lady who paints a picture book of observations and experiences. In a world that manufactures on a mass scale, she appeared original and unique...gliding from song to story...and I loved it.
