Sculpting music with Mi.Mu gloves | Imogen Heap | TEDxCERN

[@Hellohellond]

It's weird how she just stood up and said "Thank you very much" like a normal person!! Instead of flying out like an angel after all of that!

[@MoneyStrategiesSOULutions]

😂

[@typo91]

Imogen Heap is one of the most talented human beings i've ever seen perform.

[@jazzmeltsface]

You haven't heard of Soulja Boy???

[@typo91]

not in a live performance, i guess not... isn't that a rapper ?

[@RoyFlush716]

bruh she puts on A SHOW

[@marktallon]

One of my greatest regrets in life is not seeing her LIVE! 😔

[@Droidruid1993]

ok

[@iloveplasticbottles]

She revolutionized the music industry and no one batted an eye

[@riccardobertagna9388]

Yes, she is very underrated however is nice to see more artists supporting her year by year.

[@saihambd6]

I think people already invested in her technology and is in R&D.

[@brittanyh3524]

literally this. she's a genius and no one is looking.

[@SoftTofu123]

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.

[@AnnaKwonda]

Bet if a man invented this, he'd be world-renowned for it. Gr.

[@robertgranat9185]

This performance was marvelous. Her entire persona feels like a hug, or a warm knit blanket on a rainy day.

[@Trippyclipp]

Literally

[@Largebutnotincharge]

Her tiny desk is INCREDIBLE

[@ryublueblanka]

is she a genius? I cant believe she can do just for now with the gloves...wtf shes beyond most of us truly ahead of her time

[@rozemuisjes8232]

I love how she pushes her own creativity constantly. I really believe she was looking for a solution for a 'problem' she faced. Maybe when it comes to performing and being able to do it all on her own. It's amazing to see how she succeeded.

[@NytingGayle]

I know this is an old video, but I gotta say, it seems like the world disappears when she's performing...for me, and for her. That's wonderful.

[@squid5097]

She’s so humble, down to earth but so full of creativity. And I’m so honored to be alive at her time.

[@danemeow8]

Oh my goddess, Imogen Heap is an otherworldly genius, she is an angel. We need more people driven and creative like this.

[@razrv3lc]

I think these two performances are some of the best live vocals she’s ever done. She sounded amazing here.

[@DingusMcgee]

nothing can really explain how beautiful and angelic she sounds. gosh, i love her so much

[@ambreagilliam4164]

I've never been a huge fan of electronic music but Imogen Heap has a special effect on the music and it's very mesmorising and it's easy to say she is one of my favorite artist and I love being able to see the future of music through her.

[@dracodragon105]

its just like grandma always says, you just haven't had it made right!

[@DrummerGrrrl]

She and AURORA ought to do some music together.

[@ChromicLights]

DrummerGrrrl omg you’re so right! That would be incredible ♥️♥️♥️

[@kentneumann5209]

NowI'mMe - I just watched this brilliant person on NPR's tiny desk concert and had the same thought.

[@evieyak]

that would literally be the album of the century omfg

[@poesiefumeur]

That was my first thought when I learned about this gloves.

[@amierising2188]

OMG!! YESSS PLEEEEAAASSSEEEE!!!

[@octohberrust2983]

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 KZbin.. 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....

[@elizabethhanna6285]

I just wanted to comment on this video and say thank you. Watching this video 5 years ago inspired me to pursue a career in computer science instead of just music (I was planning on being a songwriter or choir director), and I started my first job as a software engineer last month. :)

[@ConMatthews]

The emotion she always delivers with The Moment I Said It... it's not just one of my favourite songs by her, but one of my favourites in general. It's one of those 'hurts so good' songs.

[@StatusQuonald]

She's really inspiring. What a woman.

[@FOBIsMyNickName]

Just For Now starts at 5:43 and The Moment I Said it, starts at 11:55

[@Abcd-gj1fu]

"The moment I said it" is truly an Imogen Heap masterpiece.

[@donsik2337]

I’ve never been flexed on this much in my life

[@enzopotel]

One day she´ll play "Just For Now" just blinking her eyes.

[@emvee5719]

Haaaaa. She is THAT talented! The developers are brilliant.

[@thebearstreetballs]

Borracha Falante bruh I don't why but this made me laugh so hard hahahahahaha

[@KanyaPinandita]

HAHHAHAHAHAH

[@fournierveronique6466]

if you think it's so simple, just you try it !

[@accuser_of_the_brethren7816]

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 😆

[@isabelgawron3179]

Her voice is absolutely angelic and pulls you into this calm state of mind...and she masters the gloves!!! Keep it up Imogen. You take stage music performance to a new level...still showing some more potentials of these gloves would have made this more WOW.

[@87nenagh]

after so many years of listening to her music- I still can't believe she's real! Incredible artist and... innovator!

[@AvalynJane]

Just when you need a reminder of what a true genius looks like omg

[@harlandenham]

She should release an album of her songs performed with the gloves. This rendition of Just for Now is beautiful. I actually prefer it to the original❤

[@amierising2188]

Basically a true genius, and a beautiful human being

[@isabelbush]

I've been listening to Imogen since she created that song for Narnia

[@JujYFru1T]

+Isabel Adora Me too! That's how I found her. The instant the credits started and that song started, I knew I had to know more about her. The rest is history. My favorite female artist ever~ Can't believe it's been 10 years since then...

[@dejvid14]

+RitsukaYukiLuvr I actually got into her through a Skoda ad on Italian TV. It's funny how something secondary like a song for a film or your music being used in an ad can get you a following.

[@rumblefish9]

Listening to her since her Frou Frou days

[@Munchkin.Of.Pern09]

Red Apple wait, as in the same Frou Frou that did “Let Go”?

[@halos.1]

Wow. The talent in this woman is just astonishing. Almost too good to be human.

[@megandorris6900]

Fuck me. Imogen, your brilliance never fails to astound me.

[@zaesrvnge9584]

Megan Dorris I read that weird

[@ainchillout]

I have goosebumps on my goosebumps. We've all seen amazing loop-building performances but the way she sings is unearthly.

[@editboy23]

What a creative powerhouse and an amazing musician. Oh, and beautiful, inside and out.

[@addiejoy6779]

Wow. This was amazing. The first time I ever listened to Imogen was from her first a capella video of Just For Now, which is 9 years old now! To think how far she's come since then, and that I was lucky enough to see her beautiful evolution through all these years. She is and always will be my all-time favorite artist.

[@elenaveleva5805]

Someone quick show this to Björk!!

[@jimmygadson7404]

Еленк she just played a show here in Iceland actually and Björk was attended. ☺️

[@patriciaalli4860]

Her voice is so hauntingly beautiful. She makes me feel all the feels.

[@Larry30102]

Imogen Heap...what a great artist. I too know the constraints of electronic media dating back before MIDI, and to see her break the bonds is breathtaking. What Imogen has demonstrated is the true melding of music and electronics. Very cool.

[@TehKhronicler]

She has such a way of shattering the veil between realities with her sounds, lifting you up gently by the ears to a transcendent sublime place where her music pervades your whole being in the best way possible. That's a true fucking artist, hands down. One for the ages to remember, like Beethoven or Shakespeare.

[@afz5355]

This was absolutely mind blowing, I don’t have words to explain what I feel about what I just witnessed

[@firstforeignable]

The first Imogen Heap song I ever heard was The Moment I Said It on Criminal Minds. I fell in love with her voice and unique element immediately. She is a goddess.

[@ChadMichaelSimon]

I just can't get enough of her work, and I love being able to fly back and forth over the past twenty years through her catalogue. The Cursed Child music is a tour de force that instantly etched itself into my forever psyche. Then I watched her hour-long interview with Google talking about her career and this technology and had to come check this out. How did I miss this four years ago?! It's stunning.

[@BooshMeBaby]

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.

[@DistantThunder89]

at 16:40 , you could hear a pin drop. The audience was completely raptured...least it sure seemed like it.

[@BingBingBongBong]

I can’t wait to see how this technology progresses to see what she does with this. I’m so excited

[@matthew-e2p3m]

I am so blown away

[@iloveplasticbottles]

As a software developer, this technology can help us a ton, especially if we are developing a video game

[@reap1317]

She's so musically brilliant wow

[@kcisme144]

I can't believe I've only now seen this... The Moment I Said it has been one of my all time favorite songs for years, my modern dance teacher had us dance to Earth for our end of the year recital, what, maybe 10 years ago now? I am forever enthralled.

[@benstephens34]

Antoine Dufour's cover of "Hide and Seek" is the reason I discovered Imogen Heap. Then I listened to her version. I've since stopped listening to Antoine's cover. Lol it's a good rendition of her song, but I found that it just doesn't have the same vitality as the original. I've also since become obsessed with her music. Thanks Antoine Dufour!

[@philhayhoe1]

it's not just the technology, which is awesome of course. There is a powerful amazing creative spirit in this incredible woman that is profoundly moving to see and hear.

[@TsunamiDreamJesusIsLord]

Her music is so powerful it makes me cry...

[@leojoey6606]

I think the reason people don't appreciate her enough is because our niche (musicality and technology) is such a rare thing like which gaming nerd do you know of that also plays a million instruments??

[@9288Savior]

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!
