The mi.mu gloves are wireless wearable gestural musical instruments and controllers. The gloves are fitted with sensors that track the movement of your hands and fingers, allowing musicians to control music software with a degree of complexity and expression not available with more traditional button and slider interfaces. Originally developed with and for musician Imogen Heap, the mi.mu gloves are a transformational new way to compose and perform music. For musicians, the gloves offer a radical new way to interact with computer music, allowing them to sculpt sound with their hands, or manipulate effects with their fingers. For audiences, the gloves are a visual and physical performance of electronic sound, bringing them closer to the music. The movement of the human body brings the dynamics of electronic music to life, as music is created through visual movements and gestures. For the SOUND CHECK exhibition at Dublin Science Gallery, the mi.mu team have created a unique set of mi.mu glove musical experiences for visitors to try for themselves.
