Sennheiser unveils Imogen Heap as the face of MOMENTUM; share your story with the world

People who push the world forward with their creative passions have MOMENTUM. Innovators and entrepreneurs of sound inspire others to uncover their hidden talents. The story of Imogen Heap embodies the ideals of MOMENTUM, stretching the boundaries of traditional performance and engaging fans using the power of the glove. Her talent spans songwriting to elaborate live multi-instrumental improvisations that build on her unique voice, classical training and unusual tech-saaviness. View her MOMENTUM video here, which explains how she employs wearable technology to convey her unique musical expression.

 

The Mi.Mu glove takes musicians from behind the computer screens to center stage. Using the dexterity and mobility of the human body as both an instrument and a music controller, the wearable tech enables artists to break down the barriers between musicians and machines and between performers and audiences. Working with a team of scientists, designers and coders for over four years, Imogen has started a Kickstarter campaign with the objective of making the gloves available to other artists and creators.

“The Gloves are my dream come true, beautiful wearable-tech garments, that allow me to break the barrier between me: the musician, the creative and elements of my chosen computer software instruments, effects or workstation,” she says. “I can now bring those sounds ‘out of the box’, gesturally, expressively and wirelessly where I’ve found other external controllers have failed.”
