The MiMU Gloves are the outcome of years of research and development by our team of musicians, engineers, textile designers and software developers.

The idea for the gloves came from musician Imogen Heap, who in 2010 began to assemble a team to create a pair of musical gloves. This team later founded MiMU: an organisation creating expressive tools for music composition and performance.

The first glove prototypes were forged in the nurturing space of Imogen Heap’s musical experimentations, and tested on stage in real live performances. Here we learned how to make musical gloves for real musicians, often through bruising experience.

Now the MiMU Gloves are available to all and there are already many musicians and artists around the world using them to control their voice, synthesisers, add effects to instruments or control lights and live visuals.

These years of experience with real artists have allowed us to deliver the most advanced wearable technology for music ― designed by musicians for musicians.
