Sparks is the upcoming fourth studio album by English recording artist Imogen Heap. The album will be released under the RCA label on 3 March 2014 in two packages: standard edition and deluxe album box set. The standard edition will consist of 14 tracks and will include all of Heap's singles released between 2011 and 2013.
Background
Sparks is a concept album. Each song that is related to a certain project has been released every three months. On 14 March 2011, Heap started work on a new record as fans sent in nearly 900 'sound seeds' (short mundane field recordings, e.g. a dishwasher door, a bicycle, a burning match). Heap stated that the procedure for the forthcoming album would be to produce tracks three-monthly, with each recorded over a fortnight and released with a video, successively, upon completion.
On 28 March 2011, the first song "Lifeline" (having had the working title "#heapsong1"), premièred worldwide via Ustream, along with a live remix by Tim Exile. Two days later, on the 30th, a "Lifeline" digital download was released, via Heap's website and on-line retailers. Alongside the download a twelve-page 3DiCD.com package was released, a 3D animated interactive CD incorporating images (predominantly crowdsourced), an instrumental version of "Lifeline", the "seeds and solos only" version and "heap speaks seeds and solos" (an 18-minute Heap commentary on how sounds and solos were used). The song is a tribute to victims of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake, Pacific Ocean (Japanese: 東日本大震災 太平洋).
"Propeller Seeds" was recorded using 3D audio effects and headphones are recommended for listeners to get the intended effect. "Neglected Space" incorporates concepts, characterisations and sounds, from a Clear Village outdoor laboratory, for the restoration of a walled garden in Bedfords Park, North East London, UK. "Minds Without Fear" is a collaboration with musical direction duo Vishal–Shekhar (Hindi: विशाल-शेखर) and was the first song featured on the eponymous début episode of 2011 television series The Dewarists (Star World India, Fox).
Wired UK "Xizi She Knows" was recorded during Heap's six-week trip to Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China (Chinese: 浙江省 杭州市). "Me, the Machine" was recorded using gestural-music wired gloves and premièred as part of Earth Day 2012, together with a re-release of 'the first ever crowdsourced nature film', Love the Earth (November 2010 – Heap and Thomas Ermacora). Recording for "You Know Where to Find Me" began in the A Room For London elevated boat, atop the Southbank Centre, London, with the Thames Tideway as its main theme and premièred 18 October 2012, on Google+ Hangouts. "Telemiscommunications" is a collaboration with Canada's electro/progressive house producer deadmau5 and it is included on his sixth album Album Title Goes Here (September 2012).
On 29 August 2012, "The Listening Chair" was performed at the Royal Albert Hall, South Kensington, London, conducted by USA composer Eric Whitacre. "Run-Time" is a collaboration with Intel (UK) and Reality Jockey Ltd to create a jogging app that will be released the following year. "Climb To Sakteng" is an instrumental 'heapsong' that is used for the soundtrack of documentary film The Happiest Place, A Journey Across Bhutan. Other songs to be included are "Entanglement", "Cycle Song", and "The Beast".
