ambient musician Imogen Heap releases special musical gadget that can be used for live looping
Hello! This was mentioned at a TED conference, but I still think this is
noteworthy. Imogen Heap and her
team developed these very special gadgets called the Musical Gloves. They
are not
exclusively live looping tools; they can control any computerized music
device, Ableton being
one of them. On April 22, 2012 (at the same show where Imogen premiered
the final cut of her
movie, Love The Earth) she premiered a new song called "Me The Machine."
Listening to it, I
heard what sounded like electronic machine music and live looping. Most
likely, she was using the
gloves to control Ableton Live, but it could have been something else.
Here is a Youtube video of her
unreleased song, "Me The Machine," with her Musical Gloves paired with a
looping system, at a
live performance in London, England, where she lives.

The website dedicated to the gloves is a sub-site of Imogen's official
