"Hide and Seek" by Imogen Heap

Where are we? What the hell is going on? Oh right, we're here
with our podcast device, listening to an episode of Strong Songs.


On this episode, Kirk dives into Imogen Heap's one-woman choral
masterwork "Hide and Seek," taking a closer look at the
technologies and processes Heap used to get that bewitching
sound, her striking use of breath and dynamic contrast, and the
many subtle ways she took the oh-so familiar "four chords" and
made them sound unique.
