Pete (The Clocktoys) came up with the basic bassline and sent it to me. I reconstructed it and then built around it. After about 3 months of sending files back and forth, robbed music equipment, and various distractions, this is what finally emerged. Hope you enjoy!

Booking & info: sukisound@yahoo.com 

Heidi's creative practice is based on an exploration and intermingling of traditional and non-traditional sound sources. Repertoire of instruments include: piano, clarinet, harmonica, guitar, melodica, synthesizer, theremin, and various sound makers. 

Heidi contributed many of these sounds including songwriting as a former member of the chamber folk trio http://soundcloud.com/cutleri, later in http://soundcloud.com/knife-throwers-assistance,  an eclectic musical collective based in NYC and continues to collaborate in her band: https://soundcloud.com/heidiandthe9feathers But Heidi's first “instrument” was her own voice. From a young age she performed lead roles in operettas and musicals, and although stylistically she has moved on to more avant-garde territories, the quality and range of her voice still hinges on her theatrical roots.

Heidi attended the Institute of Audio Research in New York City, focusing on the process of recording and producing, and went on to record several self-released albums in her home studio, Suki Sound. Her work has been reviewed by labels and blogs all over the globe, applauding her as a unique and exceptionally prolific songwriter and recording artist.

I'm a singer songwriter and for the last few years I've been making my music with nothing more than an old iPhone and an iPad mini. I have tried to overcome the obvious limitations of having no actual instruments by exploring the world of music making apps. Hopefully along the way I have created some ear-catching, toe-tapping music with complex and unusual arrangements, bleakly evocative lyrics and a big indie atmosphere.  As a result, I think this collection of songs is unlike anything else you will hear on SoundCloud. Lend me your ears and find out for yourself! 

Drop me a comment (good or bad) - I will usually reply.
 
BIG Love to all those who actually listen.

Don't be a stranger...

With love, hope and despair,

About the clocktoys: me plus occasional others (but usually just me). I have written songs from a tender age and never let the hysterical laughter grind me down (well, not often). I taught myself to play keyboards with the mighty Casio VL 1 perched on top of my little sister's toy organ (the old asthmatic wheezing kind made from elastic bands, glue and the cheapest plastics known to man).
I enjoy the creative freedom of writing alone and my music is, frankly, a muddle of influences veering off in different directions. Which is a good thing in my book.
As well as my music I may also eventually get round to reading some short stories (do i hear a a low murmur of pleasure at the back?). Basically, I'll be boring the arse off you in as many different ways as I can think of.
I like: music from many different styles past and present but in my writing I often look back to classic indie music like: the smiths; aztec camera; cocteau twins; the associates; badly drawn boy; new order; teardrop explodes; japan; early omd; echo and the bunnymen
I wish: i could play the guitar like Johnny Marr; sing better

If you've read all the way down to here, can I please say a little thank you, embrace you in a manly way, and ask that you keep listening. One day I'll get it right!

losing myself in any form of music  I live to make music............

All ways up for doing drum tracks and collaborations. 
 
One man band. 
live profomsnce.

Neon space rock with a touch of Jan Hammer, the Miami Vice nights, pastel coated guitar floats you down a liquid concrete boulevard, tropical snowflake vibes melt into Alphaville arpeggios, highlighted on lip glossed billboards!
