Imogen Heap - Me The Machine (Official Video) 

nice one

Ayyy nice lol

Matheus Ramos nice. I'm a big fan on avatar myself.

I remember when she first demo'd the technology. To see a whole song and video years later? Just awesome!

Did not expect to see you here

and time traveling, it would seem

This represented a significant advancement, but technology and music still have infinite possibilities ahead. And for as long as she lives (which could be forever, provided she digitizes her consciousness sometime in the near future), Imogen Heap will be right there at the cutting edge.

I would add the visual arts to that too

Hahaha two years later and she’s in the process of creating an AI version of herself. Not for the purpose of living forever but to kind of answer questions/comments from fans in her app.

I'm sorry you're going through that. I hope you and your son share beautiful memories together each day.

Also recently learned I was on the spectrum. I really relate to Immi and think many of us would 💕

Im on the spectrum myself, and had i not made certain musical connections with instruments and my own musicality early on i would probably still suffer through incredibly inadequate communication. i still struggle in spoken word directly to people to actually communicate what i intend to get across, but with a keyboard i can go on stream of that forever if i wanted to. I have a few friends on the spectrum as well that managed to make musical connections or technological connections when young that allowed us to figure out how we can properly communicate with the world, and its almost always happens through a route you wouldnt expect or even think of for what thats worth. I made my connections between age 6-9, and you should definitely experiment with passions and interests as much as possible of an artistic nature, any technologies available that aid communication, etc. it could change his life forever in unimaginably positive ways if you land at the right passion for the way his mind is structured. (i am not trying to tell you how to raise your child either, i promise) Anyhoo, one of many things that bonds me with other friends on the spectrum, is our absolute and unconditional love for imogen Heap, and especially this particular song lol. I live in perpetual sensory overload, all the time, but when i put music on like this song, it pulls all that excessive uncontrolled perception into a single structured piece of a mind, it focuses that energy into a single place so the rest of my brain can actually function to some degree. At least thats what it feels like. Even more so when im playing a musical instrument. had i not been repeatedly exposed to music and instruments long enough to notice this happening, i dont think i ever would have been able to figure out how to keep my mind as focused as i do. (Admittedly not well, but i CAN function in the regular world on my own... for the most part, so long as i keep an ear bud in, and i grew up with people thinking i was straight up retarded) I just finished bulding my own guitar from scratch, and i designed debugged and built my own tube amplifier to accompany it) Age 6, i was in learning disabled special-ed, by age 10 i was in the gifted program. My dad bought a really good stereo system, some Tool albums, a home PC, and a cheap acoustic guitar in that time period. Music and a keyboard changed my life forever lol. I had the opportunity to learn to express on my own in ways that made sense to the way my mind is structured. There are some out there who cant talk unless they sing first. I had to latch onto music hard before i could learn to communicate, and i needed* letters on a physical keyboard for that, for difficult to explain reasons, that make perfect sense to myself. Trying to learn in school with a pencil to write before having even been able to conceptualize the communication of language as a written thing, while ALSO being told its the same thing as these mouth noises/sounds being made. I could not rationalize that enough to even begin to understand it, the way i was understanding the material used to educate me on language was neither logical, nor possible at all in my mind. I needed the physical keyboard to detach written language from spoken language to be able to understand how i could use it for communication. And i had to play with it and figure it out on my own without administrative guidance throwing my mind off. I still struggle to explain the way this worked for me, in every form of communication besides text. This was the 90s though, as far as i know today, a lot more about this is understood and therapeutic practices are FAR more supportive towards helping children on the spectrum find their unique path to being able to communicate. It is usually fairly unique for all of us that make the communication connection.

Your story is heart-wrenching. I work in Special Education and I totally get where you are coming from. I hope you have reconciled all the conflicts you have been feeling and can fully enjoy the unique gifts your son brings to the world!

Your story is amazing! Thank you for sharing such a personal account of your struggles and successes!@@thefloop2813

because she doesn't include butts in song or video

She's gorgeous with a gorgeous voice. Very unique compared to most of what is in the music industry nowadays.

Ritika Nair right?! It's mind blowing!

^ and This.

OrotheNaroom :)

Exactly. I wish more people would actually get to know her music, because she is SO MUCH MORE than "Hide and Seek".

Winter Hope first semester of color guard and I'm not a can't that its 4 min. And 30 sec.

Winter Hope 3 years later I'm performing her song in colorguard

Come back and listen again Beefy boi

Wheres you at beefyboi?

***** *definitely. "Defiantly" means against resistant or rebellious

She did this with her gloves 😮

music can have that effect. am I missing some sarcasm or are you actually perplexed

Ryan Nosco No sarcasm here

+MegaLisa830 Yay it was he got a good score.

+Mystical Violinist we

Do y'all have any videos out of the show? I've dreamed of playing one of Imogen's songs in a marching show so I wanna see how it sounded haha

I WANT TO SEE THIS

David Boucher honestly

David Boucher maybe you have and don't realize it's her, if not, check out some of her hits: Hide and Seek , Headlock, speeding cars, just for now. and one of my fave ever " 2-1 " enjoi 😊

look up frou frou

I'm gonna guess "you were too young to catch the trailers for Garden State" ?

I heard this woman since I was born :)

+Peter Ferguson holy shit

Sweetheart, what possibly do you think heaven is like? You really think *heaven* is filled with techno bots and machines?? If you want technology, you don't have to look far for it. It's obviously very attainable' all you have to do is go to an L.A. Club. No need to go to heaven jeez there's just so much wrong with how you think

+pisces person I personally believe +Peter Ferguson the right idea. I believe that heaven will be just like this world, except we'll be able to truly enjoy ourselves. Sure there's places on this earth where you can really enjoy but imagine being able to go anywhere without worrying about anything. That would be amazing. No struggle, no strife, no fear, just pure peace.

Sorry you missed the point. I was talking about the ability to create and express something of beauty on a much higher level and in a meaningful way. I have no idea of what the fuck you're talking about. It's feeble minded misinterpretation like your diatribe that has gotten this country, world and society in general into the shitter we're in now. Great artists, great minds will be the ones to get us out...Sweetheart....

#Pincode

Yay girls!!!

She needs to create more soundtracks. I want my ears to be blessed.

^ This.

OrotheNaroom "This"? There's a thumbs up button for a reason.. Why post a comment that has absolutely zero value?

Daveed84 I did the thumbs up, however I am also able to go out of my way to agree with the statement even more. So though it may hold zero value to you, it still holds a point (aka value) in general. ^.^

Yes...stunned! I was smiling the whole time watching her in the TedX talk.

Oh, my Gosh!!!!

I want a vid remake SO BAD with the newer updated tech gloves and maybe a hybrid of a virtual reality/irl Immi. Maybe integrate her aborreal lights tree too?

A blip in the algorithm A break in the clouds Soft circuits, jumping. Soft circuits, jumping. The pincodes of happiness Access denied Switching to manual, switching to manual Oh, to share a scent of that sweet summer breeze A love for a squeeze How can you teach me these things Me, the machine can dream An acquaintance with benefits A work in progress Downloading romance, downloading romance Relationship asterisk This footnote's in plain text Marking your words, marking your words Oh, to share a scent of that sweet summer breeze A love for a squeeze How can you teach me these things Me, the machine can dream I can't do everything I'll get over it Trigger, point, trip On top, pilot Over my job See, stop Oh, a scent in a sweet summer breeze A love for a squeeze How can you teach me these things Me, the machine can dream Me, the machine can dream Me, the machine can dream

She's saying soft circuits jumping ! 😂😂 lol

soft turkeys bahahaha.

I heard the same words! :D Soft turkeys jumping!

Immy's known for her rather abstract lyrics, so you could very well be right. I reckon it's "soft circuits", though.

Thanks!

Love this comment. I feel the same.

She really is

I gave you a like...though I don't think that any one line from these lyrics are greater than the other. But yeah....genious at work. A joy to witness.

I read this as it was sang.

Hell yeah that would be awesome... And really freaking weird

Also a fellow member of the Clone Club and a Imogen Heap fan!

TheHybrid Especially that part when she said, "Soft turkeys jumping"? XP

Ultra Abnormal Girl xD yes, that part as well.

Ultra Abnormal Girl "Soft circuits" silly XD

I prefer 'Soft turkeys jumping' more XP
