Heap partners with a NASA engineer and others to bring sci-fi musical gloves to the (well-heeled) masses.
Imogen Heap, a singer-songwriter who works largely in electronic sounds (and whom you may remember from her work in the band Frou Frou or this song), has long been confronted with a problem: How do you put on a show for people who are used to seeing guitars, drums, and pianos, when your music is created largely with computers, synthesizers, fader knobs, and processors? Her solution is the Mi.Mu Glove, the next version of which is now on Kickstarter.
