On Friday 19th Feb Imogen played in front of a sold out crowd at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire.

During the show Imogen recorded a live improvised piece of music, where the key, tempo and time signature were chosen by the audience 30 seconds before she started. ”The Shepherdess” is what the audience heard.

All the proceeds from sales of “The Shepherdess” are going to Great Ormond Street hospital in London who helped save Imogen’s leg when she was just 12 months old.

In true Imogen style, the artwork for the download was crowd-sourced from fans who attended the show. If the download is deemed a success for the charity Imogen hopes to perform a live improvisation at every show on her upcoming North American tour, donating the proceeds of downloads to a charity in each city.

The read the full story and to buy “The Shepherdess” for £1, head over to: http://charity.imogenheap.com where you can see how we have utilised online publishing platform Bandcamp.com to power this special download.

Imogen Heap wins a Grammy Award!

Imogen Heap wins a Grammy

We’d like to wish Replenish client Imogen Heap congratulations for her Grammy win last night!

Imogen took home the Grammy for “Best Engineered Album, Non Classical” for her latest album “Ellipse” which she produced and engineered herself, making her the first female artist in Grammy history to win this award!

Not to be outdone by 2007’s outfit which featured lilly pads and a toy frog, this year Imogen’s ‘Twitdress’ included an LED necklace which displayed a live Twitter feed showing fan’s messages, and a transparent handbag complete with an embedded iPhone displaying Twitpic photos that fans sent to her via Twitter.

Replenish were on hand assisting Imogen on the night. From here in the UK we tested the Twitter and Twitpic photo feed shortly before Imogen took to the red carpet and then proceeded to spend the night moderating all of the content sent to Imogen’s necklace and handbag to avoid any potential offending messages.

The ‘Twitdress’ went down a storm with the music and tech press alike – the perfect accompaniment to a Grammy award!
