ambient musician Imogen Heap releases special musical gadget that can be used for live looping

Hello! This was mentioned at a TED conference, but I still think this is 
noteworthy. Imogen Heap and her 
team developed these very special gadgets called the Musical Gloves. They 
are not 
exclusively live looping tools; they can control any computerized music 
device, Ableton being 
one of them. On April 22, 2012 (at the same show where Imogen premiered 
the final cut of her 
movie, Love The Earth) she premiered a new song called "Me The Machine." 
Listening to it, I 
heard what sounded like electronic machine music and live looping. Most 
likely, she was using the 
gloves to control Ableton Live, but it could have been something else. 
Here is a Youtube video of her 
unreleased song, "Me The Machine," with her Musical Gloves paired with a 
looping system, at a 
live performance in London, England, where she lives.
