Self-produced British composer and recording artist for 25 years, Imogen Heap has released five solo albums, another as one half of Frou Frou and collaborated with countless and varied artists including Taylor Swift, Nitin Sawhney, Deadmau5, Eric Whitacre, Jeff Beck and Jon Hopkins. Her compositions and songs pop up in blockbuster and indie films as well as countless TV shows, are featured in underground rap and dance music and covered by the likes of Ariana Grande. As composer and arranger for one of the biggest hits in theatrical history, Harry Potter and The Cursed Child, Imogen won the Drama Desk Outstanding Music in a Play award. As a sought-after speaker and performer, Heap hosted 2020’s Grammys Premiere Ceremony. Heap’s collaborative and multi-dimensional workflow attracts companies for commissioned works, leading to songs such as Tiny Human, the first song to distribute payments via a Smart Contract, and The Happy Song, a highly successful song for children in their early-years. Heap, recognised as an artist's artist, has won two Grammys and an Ivor Novello award. In recognition of her pioneering work at the intersection of music and tech, Heap has a hat trick of three honorary doctorates for the gestural music-ware 'MI.MU gloves' system and recently for ’The Creative Passport’, an integrated digital ID solution, empowering music makers to be the change toward a fair and flourishing music ecosystem. Between projects a constant for the past year is every Thursday afternoon, Imogen Q&A chats with her fans via The Listening Chair with those who subscribe to Imogenheap.app to collaborate together on Augmented Imogen, Imogen's in dev AI.

You too can get a personal dream themes.

Send your ideas to: steffan@dreamthemes.org

I will write your very own dream theme which will come from your suggestions and ideas. It will be unique.
Dream Themes is a great way of saying something without words. 

Music says things that words cannot and is a universal language, so I can write a musical message for anyone you like: maybe a loved one, family member, or friend would like to have their own dream theme on their phone, iPad or iPhone to remind them of good times or good friends.

Or maybe you need a personal ringtone to identify that annoying person or company that just doesn't stop calling you?

Well, we can do that too. 

At least you will have a good piece of music to listen to while you ignore them.

You can be as creative as you want – the more interesting the better. 

What do you want your dream theme to say or do? 

You want to be a famous spy? 
Celebrate a triumphant event? 
Soundtrack a romantic stroll along the beach? 
Annoy your parents?

Whatever it is, send me a message about what you would like in under 100 words on Facebook or 140 characters on Twitter, and I will get back to you with your own tailor-made dream theme as quickly as possible.

Please remember, that this is currently a one musician project that may get hectic as things get underway, so please be patient – your dream theme will be with you as quickly as musically possible.

Singer/songwriter from Wales, with a folky sound

This album is for a final university project. The composition/structure of the album was incredibly significant so due to time restrictions put in place by a submission date these tracks are not fully realised in a production context and should be viewed from a composition stand point as opposed to a mixing one. We effectively had 5 months to compose, conceptualise, arrange, record, mix and master all songs from scratch whilst writing dissertations and scoring a student film. Despite this mammoth task we're both very happy with what we've achieved and can't wait to take the pieces further.

A quick note on some of the albums content is needed to establish relevant artistic properties. As you can hear we have used a plethora of poetry and voiceover samples of which we do not own the creative rights to. This is a non-profit project however that still does not mean we cannot give credit where credit is due. Without the works of Robert Frost this album would be a mere speck of meaningless dust so we cannot thank his brain enough.
