Multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter Imogen Heap imagined controlling effects and loops with just her gestures, not an array of buttons, knobs and pedals. Now the Mi.Mu gloves she dreamed up are a reality- and they’re available to buy. Mi.Mu Managing Director Adam Stark chatted with podcast host Dmitri Vietze at Midem about taking the idea from an art project to a business, while staying focused on artistic expression. Find out some of the amazing things artists are doing with their new-found freedom, and the challenges that Mi.Mu has overcome bringing this first-of-its-kind product to market. Listen to the podcast episode, and see some of the Mi.Mu artists Adam mentions in action:
