Imogen has partnered up with Nick Ryan to push the limits of ‘sound’ and ‘song’ to a new place. Nick Ryan is a multi award winning sound designer, composer and audio specialist. He has sound designed and composed extensively for Film, Motion Graphics, Documentary, Interactive Media and the Orchestra and consulted widely on the future of sound and music. Whilst working with the BBC’s ‘Imagineering’ Department as a futurologist in 2004 he won a BAFTA for ‘The Dark House’, a groundbreaking interactive binaural (3D audio) Radio Drama which he co-devised, scored and mixed live on air on BBC Radio 4.

He and Imogen have explored the idea of using sound to enhance the experience and narrative of a song alongside ‘conventional’ words and music. Listeners will actually be “inside” the song, as if they were in Imogen’s shoes, which will happen around them in 3D audio.
