For hundreds of years, humans have been using their fingertips, breath, and palms to make music of all sorts. There is no doubt that, in the future, music will continue. It feeds our souls as humans. But there is also no doubt that new technologies will give us new instruments, ways of playing music, and ways of creating music in the future. The new MI.MU glove takes the tradition of making music to the next level using future technology. Here, we will tell you how.
Changing Music
Have you ever wished you could express yourself musically? Do you feel discouraged by the fact that it can take you years to learn an instrument? With MI.MU gloves, that can change in an instant. With these gloves you can put them on, boot up your favorite device to translate your movements, and get to making music. Your movements are translated by these gloves into various sounds, notes, beats, or musical patterns. These patterns, sounds, etc. can easily be changed by the user. Your movements can even modify your own voice, sounds, music samples, and much more.
A Collaboration with Imogen Heap
The MI.MU gloves are set to hit the scene any day, now. These gloves themselves have been a collaboration with the musician Imogen Heap. She has appeared several times to demonstrate the power of these gloves. One of her more recent tunes, “Me The Machine,” was even created using a pair of these gloves, as well. Hopefully, in the coming years, we will see lots of other established and budding musicians trying out these gloves, too. You can even try them out for yourself as soon as they are more widely available.
Getting Your Own
MI.MU gloves are snug-fitting, fingerless gloves outfitted with a variety of circuitry that allows the user to modify sound using their movements. The MI.MU website does not currently have any for sale, although people can still invest in the concept if they would like to receive a pair of them in the future. Purchasers can get them in plain black, or a variety of colors customized to their taste. Investing now means that you can also enjoy a plethora of bonuses, such as a special synth configuration from Spectrasonics Omnisphere, as well as the newest track from Imogen Heap. For those looking to just buy their own gloves, it may be a while to wait.
