Imogen Heap has probably been my most influential individual artist. I spoke to her on the phone once; I was supposed to be interviewing her for a newspaper article, but I was so enthralled with every twist and turn of her meandering conversation that I forgot to ask her any relevant questions at all. Sam once recorded a cover of Hide And Seek entirely on kazoos which she named her favourite of all the hundreds of covers that were made. Imogen told me that she wrote the bulk of that song in just a few minutes, experimenting with a new vocoder. I’ve only had one comparable experience, when I put together the main stem of Unconditionally (one of our singles) - I got lucky and it carried me all the way through. I love the unmistakable feeling of rushing air in Imogen Heap’s Music. I want us to sail close to that in the sounds that we make too. Of course, Guy Sigsworth deserves as much credit for this song as Imogen Heap; the producer whose collaborations include another favourite Nord of mine, Kate Havnevik. I usually dream in either sounds or pictures, and rarely both at the same time. Weirdly often, my dreams revolve around the chorus bass line of Let Go.
