Imogen Heap: China residency

UK musician Imogen Heap went on a six-week residency to Hangzhou, China in 2012, wrote and recorded 'Xizi She Knows' and produced a video for the song. 

In this interview, she talks about how she made the video, her partnership with the Dushikuaibao newspaper, which was instrumental to her project, as well as the connections that she made.

Imogen was part of a group of four UK musicians (alongside Gareth Bonello, Matthew Bourne and Jamie Woon) who travelled to Chinese provincial cities. Their residencies were followed by UK Now 2012, the greatest festival of UK arts in China.
