Imogen Heap releases album DVD

Imogen Heap has released a behind-the-scenes DVD of the creation of her latest album.

The singer, whose record Ellipse was released in August 2009, said she has always been keen to show people "the fabric of the sounds" of her album, and was eventually persuaded by a fan to document its entire creation.

In a press release, she said: "It all started with a fan sending in a request, asking if I could make a video diary when on my writing trip around the Pacific.

"There are so many peripheral things that go around making an album. It all goes by in a flash for me. Dotted with performances, collaborations to passing my driving test!

"Everyone will finally have an idea of what I get up to in my basement and why it takes me so long to make an album."

Discussing the tone of the DVD, the 'Hide And Seek' star said: "People will get a real feel for the fabric of the sounds on the album, from wine glasses in the kitchen to the birds flocking over the park woods in the evening.

"Taking the piano apart to the squeaky floors in the hallway and how they get molded and shaped into the songs."

Everything In-Between: The Story of Ellipse is out now.

Heap is currently on her UK tour, and plays at London's Royal Albert Hall this evening.
