 Dylan Smith, writing for Digital Music News:

The involved companies just recently confirmed their deal in a formal release, after SoundCloud head Eliah Seton and Heap discussed the integration during last month’s Web Summit event. Coinciding with the official disclosure, the November sit down’s audio has become available on SoundCloud.

Billed as a “comprehensive and forward-thinking suite of tools,” Auracles is said to afford artists one-stop control over metadata, stems, press materials, contact info, and a whole lot else via its “sovereign digital ID.”

The Oral History of the ‘Garden State’ Soundtrack

The Ringer

The Ringer:

Imogen Heap (Frou Frou, “Let Go”): “Let Go” was originally written for a film called Phone Booth. It had a much bigger energy, much bigger drums, very intense. I always loved the song, but it didn’t get into the movie. Then one night in our studio in West London, I brought out my cello. We stripped away all the intensity, and we were just left with the strings and the voice and that amazing bass line. We loved it so much, but through that whole Frou Frou album [Details], nobody really got to know about it until after Garden State. 

Braff: There was a Radiohead song at the end, [“Sulk”]. Of course it would have been a huge Hail Mary try, but as I recall, what happened was we found a song that just works better. We didn’t need to make the insane ask of Radiohead.
