MiMu Gloves by Imogen Heap
Meant to post this awhile ago, but these gloves are absolutely amazing! I saw Ariana use these shortly, while on her Honeymoon Avenue tour. Basically, she used one hand's glove (her left?) to freeze the sound with a clenched fist and have it repeat while the right hand's glove controlled the harmony of choice. I'm guessing she pre-set the chord(s) for "Why Try" (the song she used these in) but I'm not 100% sure. It was SO cool to see Ariana go from being a huge longtime fan of Imogen's and making home videos with a different vocoder- I have yet to find the brand/type- to being contacted by Imogen herself, and given these gloves! These cost around the thousands I believe ($1,260) but they are life GOALS. Haha
