A Beautiful, Solitary Heap

I'd love to be there when some guy tries the "we could make sweet music together" pick up line on Frou Frou (y'know, Imogen Heap).

From Wikipedia: "The boarding school she was sent to lacked students wishing to pursue music and Heap clashed with the music teacher. His idea of punishment was to leave Heap alone to learn for herself, as a result; she principally taught herself sequencing, music engineering, sampling and production on Atari computers."

Now that's beautiful payback.

what i love the most is how much joy she is having while she's creating this song. it definitely infuses her music.
