Disclosure
Disclosure are a British electronic duo who began in Surrey. The main genre that they go under are house, Deep house UK, Garage and Future garage. Their debut album was released on 3rd June 2013by PMR Records and it was called Settle. what type of technology they use : Logic 9&7 in their first album, Akai professional mpd26 performance Pad controller, Akai professional MPC renaistance, and Alesis Multimix8 etc, The reason why I'm so inspired by them is of how they structure their songs including 90s R&B vocals, funky riffs and drum machine dynamics to create their own sound.

LEAF CUTTER (John Burton)
       Leaf Cutter is a UK based musician, who use a large amount of  Max/MSP in his pieces. The majority of his music is computer based which he uses sample of everyday life sounds.
Leafcutter has been a part of  many projects both organised, planed or DIY, For example installing microphones under a creaky wooden floor to record create new unique sounds in a software program. Electronics artist John Burton is also a composer, producer, guitarist, vocalist and installation artist. Burton is unique and is out of the ordinary with the way he creates and produces his music, he includes unusual sounds from a daily hustle and creates music from that one source. The reason why I'm inspired by his work is that he is able to create something so big from a tiny source.

IMOGEN HEAP
Imogen heap is a UK singer-songwriter and composer. In 2009 she was nominated twice and had won best engineered and non classical album. In 2010 she received a British academy Ivor novella award for national achievement. she heavily manipulates electronic sounds to define her music and also samples and mixes everyday life sounds such as a food being cooked in a frying pan, which was used in her song Hide and Seek. July 2011 Heap created a pair high-tech musical gloves at the TEDGlobal conference. The gloves have sensors which where developed by 5DT x-io Technologies.  Heap is able to include, recordings, and loop acoustic instruments and her voice, play virtual instruments within the gloves and perform it live. Over the past years Heap has restricted her self from being in a typical live performance set up which has made her become very unique with the way she performs. Heap has designed something so unique and extraordinary which could be greatly beneficial in the future of music. The gloves are something I would love to try out in the near future, because it seems so simple to use and you can also combine all the instruments, recordings and loops within the glove. Imogen music is inspirational in the sense of how she creates and performs it. She is quite similar with Leafcutter, she creates music with using daily life sounds and making it more developed.
