Apparently Immi demonstrated the Gloves last night at a Futureofmusic event in London. Someone took a video of it here:

You might have to turn your computer (or your head) on its side!

There's a better video of the same performance here:

I think I've worked out that she gives the signal for putting something on loop by flicking her right wrist!

Wow, that's quite impressive. They seem to have enabled quite a lot of features too. Record, loop, reverse, volume level, drums, mute, etc and everything with multiple channels playing. When she puts her arms together the sound gets muffled, pointing up or something releases it, and when she waves her right hand in the air it gets distorted, maybe that's the "rock out mode". I wonder which gesture means cancel/re-record. It also looks fascinating. You are just looking at her move on stage, and go wow, did she just do that by a flick of her wrist. The audience looked fascinated too.

Edit: I kinda wish she kept to herself what exactly are the gestures that affect which functions. I find myself second guessing which is which. The gestures are blending in with the dancing in a way, which is really cool for the performance.

Amazing! I can't wait to see that live on her next tour. I agree with Chaul - the gestures make the performance really cool to watch Very Happy

I believe it's time for Mr. Webster to redefine 'magical' or at least make that term synonymous to "Imogen Heap"
