Electronic instruments and interfaces harness intuitive movements, offering ergonomics for the mind and body. Like a musical second skin, MiMU gloves are MIDI controllers that enable performers to command any number of synthesizers by gesturing. The innovative and less strenuous performance techniques associated with electronic instruments place them at the vanguard of accessibility.
