      few reasons: 1. there were many similar products. her gloves are much more sophisticated, but in the DMI world, it's not a revolution. it's a good commercial application of what's been around for decades. 2. it still requires a lot of customization. it's not so amateur friendly.

      This cracked me up as eventually I imagine just buying a "ticket" to her show online you close your eyes and open them back up in about 4 seconds having already experienced the entire 2 hour concert in your mind. 😆 or even stranger, two days after purchasing a ticket you'll get a packaged delivered that will encase a single pill. Upon taking it with a swig of water you'll experience the entire evening and performance in the blink of an eye. No refunds though 😆

    So, this morning I woke up and felt like listening to "The Moment I Said It" - The only song I've heard by Imogen Heap. So I opened up RUclips.. listened to the song.. then asked myself, hmm, I wonder what else she does? Four hours later I'm still learning how amazingly talented she is! And not just musically....

    My love of Immi started with hearing 'Let Go' at the end of the movie Garden State. At that time I had no idea how she was creating this music... she, or Frou Frou, were just unique pop, with meaningful lyrics and Imogen's hauntingly beautiful voice. Eventually I saw her unique skills live and I was blown away - she used wrist mics for sampling/looping, but no gloves back then. She was humble and rock all at the same time. I was fortunate to participate, as part of the audience, in the 'Love The Earth' performance at Limehouse in 2010. Although, she has never been a 'huge star', her innovation with music technology continues to astound me. My brain cannot even comprehend how she 'conducts' with these gloves. Love her.

    i like this and you are a very beautiful person.
    i am also working on a tool to make music... in VR. gloves like this would be very helpful :)
    i think music in VR is way more important than people realize just yet...
    my music, my software instruments, and my software tools are trapped in a 2D plane. i am forced to interact with my music through buttons and faders or a keyboard and mouse. mi.mu glove helps with that too :)
    i want to open things up. i want to see the big picture, and compose/arrange and record by being inside of my music and touching it with my hands, instead of looking at it through a window and clicking on it with a mouse.
    keep up the good work!

      Julia Gurgel you should also listen to "liam back- pragmatism" with her voice sample in it, and something called "what you seek" by 26carat :)

    These are obviously more catered to performance but as a producer I'd absolutely love these... This will change music for sure. I fully agree that faders and knobs are so... unmusical. The sounds you could achieve with this would be way more human just by nature.
