Sculpting music with gloves | Imogen Heap | TEDxCERN

Imogen Heap shares with us her own personal search for musical perfection and the journey she has made developing gloves -- a tool that gives musicians maximum freedom to improvise and allows simple movements to sculpt music. A true digital diva, Imogen Heap’s innovative methods of creating music leap beyond the box. Whether it be producing music or collaborating with fans, she pushes her own boundaries and that of the music industry. She invented the gloves and developed them with her team to wirelessly sculpt sound through gesture, manipulating voice and instruments live. Her latest project, Mycelia, is making waves with its ‘fair trade for music’ model. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at
