I don't follow the Grammys much, but I did read today's NY Times article on the nominations and was shocked to read that Imogen Heap got 2 nominations, including best new artist. Congratulations to Imogen, and also to the Grammys for finally "discovering" her. From the article:"Also competing for best new artist are the R&B upstart Chris Brown and the singer Imogen Heap, who separately received a nomination for best song for motion picture or television for her song for The Chronicles of Narnia film."

I use my voice as an instrument, and she does the same thing, Ali says. Alis alluring, exotic voice can be heard on her second solo album, Elysium for the Brave, a seamless mix of Eastern and ambient styles, and the self-titled debut set by the contemporary world music trio Niyaz, both on San Francisco indie Six Degrees Records. Its a voice that has been utilized in film projects as diverse as The Matrix Revolutions, Paparazzi and Dawn of the Dead; the miniseries Children of Dune and The Path to 9/11; and the TV series Alias, Witchblade, Prison Break and The Agency. The Tehran-born singer, who left Iran with her family at age 4 after the 1979 Islamic revolution, originally was an instrumentalist and student of the santour, the Persian hammered dulcimer. However, she began studying voice after moving to Los Angeles in the mid-80s; her training in early music choirs is reflected in her solo work  in Latin  on Mychael Dannas score for director Catherine Hardwickes current New Line feature The Nativity Story. Ali says of Danna, Hes one of the first composers that used ethnic music and incorporated it with Western music without compromising it. He recruited Ali after hearing her first solo recording, 2002s Portals of Grace, which was largely inspired by medieval music. He said, Thats what I want to do on this film, she recalls. It was the first time I got to use that training in early music. In March, her voice will be prominently featured in composer Tyler Bates score for 300, a Warner Bros. release from Dawn of the Dead director Zach Snyder. Although the feature is based on Frank Millers graphic novel about the fabled battle between 300 Spartans and the huge Persian army at Thermopylae, Ali does not sing in her native tongue on the soundtrack. Theres a lot of me in that film, probably more than in any other, Ali says. (But) we decided specifically not to use any (Eastern) language. Everything is nonlyrical. It allows you to explore so many different emotions. Alis collaboration with Bates has continued outside of the film arena. He appears playing guitar, bass and keyboards on Elysium for the Brave, and the duo have finished an unreleased album under the name Roseland. Im singing completely in English, Ali says. Its a combination of film music, rock and ambient music. While her albums feature vocals in Farsi and Urdu, Ali often is called upon to sing wordlessly in her performances for film and TV. The composers are looking for the flavour of exoticism, but in a way thats not so strange to the Western ear, she says. I know how to take what I do and deliver it in a way thats not going to be too out there. Although she is increasingly well established in the entertainment business of her adopted city, Ali reflects on the resonance her work holds for her as an emigre from a country still torn by political and religious tumult. Music was really the only tangible place I had to go in life, she says. I discovered, here is a place I can come to where Im not feeling any of those conflicted emotions. Its the only place I feel at home.
