Legend of Zelda theme on a theremin
Haven't seen a theremin before? It's the high point of electronic music geekdom. Invented in 1919 by Léon Theremin, the theremin works with a series of antennas - you play it by moving your hands closer and farther from the two antennas to change the pitch and volume. It's similar in theory to how your TV antenna (for those of you old enough to remember TV antennas) works better if you move your hand closer to it.
The theremin entered into pop culture when it was used to make that weird "oo" solo in the Beach Boys' "Good Vibrations" (you know which one I'm talking about).
(Information courtesy of my sick little brain and Wikipedia.)
Here's a clip of Léon Theremin playing his own instrument in 1928. (The tune, if you care, is "The Swan" by Camille Saint-Saëns.)
