Composer, performer, and sound installation artist Laetitia Sonami combines text, music and "found sound" from the world, in compositions which have been described as "performance novels. Her signature instrument, the Lady's Glove, tracks the slightest motion of fingers, hand, and arm: through its use, Sonami can create performances where those tiny movements shape the music and environment.

Sonami has been performing in numerous festivals across the United States, Canada, Europe, Japan and China, among which the Ars Electronica Festival in Linz, the Bourges Music Festival in France, the Sonambiente Festival in Berlin, the Interlink festival in Japan, Bang-on-a Can, The Kitchen and Other Minds, S.F.

The attendees will get a chance to see how Lady Glove works, and learn more about its creation and history. The program starts at 7MP and the admission is free!
