Laetitia Sonami

"This [The Lady's Glove] is for me the ultimate instrument in dealing with expressivity in electronic music -- if you move one finger, everything else moves. It's multiple controls to multiple variables in the sound..."

Laetitia Sonami synthesizes advanced technology, original music, and narrative into an intimate, spontaneous art form all her own. She worked with -builder Bert Bongers in The Netherlands to develop the The Lady's Glove, which allows her to bend her fingers, raise and lower her arm, and touch her fingers together to control computer-generated and processed sounds.

Her performances include the Berlin-Musikerinnen Festival, Lincoln Center Outdoors, Center for the Arts at Yerba Buena Gardens (San Francisco), The Kitchen (New York), Bang on a Can, Interlink Festival (Tokyo, Kyoto, Kobe, Sapporo), Le Garage (Paris), and in venues in Amsterdam, Zurich, Quebec, Berlin, Barcelona, and Vancouver.

A native of France, Laetitia Sonami currently resides in California. She continues to compose, and travels extensively performing with interactive electronics.
