Is this the new musical [Power Glove](http://www.engadget.com/tag/power+glove/)? Imogen Heap thinks so. The Grammy winner rocked the stylish hand warmers at a TEDGlobal 2011 event in Edinburgh, Scotland, creating gesture-based music during a four-minute demonstration, with the gloves wirelessly connected to a nearby laptop. Could this be the death of the theremin as we know it, or just another good excuse to do a caption contest?
**Brian:** "Imogen there's no heaven."
**Terrence**: "Ms. Heap hard at work on a sequel to the NES "classic" *Bad Street Brawler*, tentatively titled *Street Corner Complainer*."
**Darren**: "Seriously? Wires?"
**Brad:** "Now if only I could find some oven mitts that would magically bake cookies for me, I'd be set!"
**Jon:** "Force enhancing gloves allow Imogen to one up Luke, raise X-Wing."
**Tim**: "Do I look intense enough now? Too pensive? What if I tilt my head up a bit further?"
**Amar:** "And then they handed me the Grammy and I grabbed it like this and then -- oh, have I already told you this story?"
**Dante:** "What do you mean they aren't cashmere?!?!"
**Joseph:** "So I was holding Bjork's leg up like this, but she *still* couldn't get over Madonna's gate."
**Sean:** "To sleep, perchance to dream - ay, there's the rub..."
**Christopher:** "Please sir, I beg you -- don't take my Flowbee away."
**Richard Lai:** "Ceiling cat, come to momma."
