Dido Returns To Electronics On Fourth Album
Dido answered some fan questions on her official web site at DidoMusic.com, including from one wondering why her third album ‘Safe Trip Home’ doesn’t have electronic bits in it. The British singer songwriter responded:
I intentionally didn’t use any electronics on the 3rd album. It was a challenge that started as a small thought and then turned into a big theme of the record. We had a lot of fun creating sounds from all manner of instruments (bells, wind instruments, strings, brass, pots, pans, cans, sandpaper, anything). This was instead of using anything pre-programmed. It was a great learning experience for me and also made me a much better musician pretty quickly! It’s also making me really appreciate the joy of electronics again on this new album I’m making. It’s good to take a break and now I’m celebrating my electronic roots again. :-)
Dido Thinks Carefully About Setlists
Dido answered some fan questions at her official web site, DidoMusic.com, including how she picks her setlists. “I definitely think pretty carefully about taking the audience on a journey as I would when choosing the order of an album,” the British singer songwriter responded. “I pick the songs that are the most fun to do live and then create highs and lows and quiet moments and jumping around moments. The lighting is also really satisfying to work on as it’s something I really enjoy when I go to a show myself – when I feel like I can see the music.”
No Tour From Dido Until After Next Album Is Done
Dido answered a series of questions from fans on her official web site on Friday (February 6), including if and when she plans on going on tour. The British singer songwriter tells readers:
I think I’m going to do a proper tour after the next record. I’ve written and recorded so much recently and am just loving being in the studio and doing that at the moment. So I imagine another record will be released before the next tour. I’m really looking forward to touring when we do though. We had such an amazing time last time. Meeting so many people, playing in incredible outdoor venues in the summer. I felt so lucky every day. By the time I’ve finished all this recording I’ll be very excited to be out!

Dido Describes Her On Stage Emotions
Dido answered several fan submitted questions on her official web site on Thursday (January 8), including why she decided to work with Jon Brion on her latest album ‘Safe Trip Home’, her favorite TV shows, and how she feels when on stage. “There’s so many things I can feel on stage,” Dido said regarding the latter topic. “Before I go on stage I am always nervous. I can’t help it. Then once I open my mouth and start singing/playing I feel calm. And when I see how lucky I am with how great the audience always is, I just get a huge rush of warmth and peace and excitement. I’m doing what I love and just love every minute. I love playing live for the accidents that happen, the sounds and dynamics that are created between the players that will never happen again, just because of the circumstance, the room, the audience, everything. Every night feels different and every night is different!” Read more.
