DAMN! Wii fer Theremin, now that's.....superextraspecial........

I played a theremin (that same Moog theremin acutally) in a band concert once. They're hard to learn. It's so odd playing something that you don't touch. From my experience, if you play a string instrument, that's the best thing to know before playing theremin.

Funky stuff.

Man I love theremins. Something about their interface just makes me think "damn, that's pretty friggin' intuitive". I know that if I'm listening to a piece of music I really love I start to make conductor-like hand gestures in the air. These devices just add real sound to 'em!

Can't believe it can played so precisely? I'd think it has atom-level control of precision ;-P

I want a theremin, but they are like 300 dollars

That guy must get so many women. Chicks dig theremins.

Huh, I was about to have you up for spelling Theremin wrong (I always thought it was Theramin) 'til I saw the very end of the video.
Oh, swell post btw.

Theremins are analog already I know what you mean though, non-electronic.

It looks like an interesting instrument. Basically there is just one string, and it's plucked, and then the performer touches the string at various places along it's length to produce harmonics. The stick on the right side of the video is attached to the string, and you can increase or decrease tension, either to produce vibrato or to shift the pitch up or down (like a whammy bar on a guitar).

I wonder how hard it is to play.

I see a hammer dulcimer in the background. But the main instrument, the Dan Bau, seems to be an analog theremin of sorts? Is this where Moog got the idea?

wow - cool track. + upvote for anyone being able to make a non obnoxious sound with a theremin.

The guy in the clip is apparently the 'Master of the Theremin'. Much respect.

one of the best. it is a pity that the bubblicious video didn't put you over the top.

theremin has come a long way

Great interpolation, and the Theremin is safe for kids and fun at parties!

Should this be linked to the theremin video?
