Hey... I finally saw the context of your avatar... I am watching 'Camille' on Turner Classic right now, and I can see why you chose it, Garbo is divine!

camille, camille?

Thanks for the shout-out wildmanbill!

She is, as far as I'm concerned, the first true film star: Greta Garbo, in Camille. Eden's naughty Aeon Flux is my favorite!

It's cool seeing her play it live as you get to see how see makes the beats.

in which case you'll probably enjoy Camille

It's Greta Garbo in "Camille." Originally found on Flickr...can't find it again, sorry.

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.)

Ben, unrepentant music geek

In one of the Facebook Samplers, Camille gave away her song, "Ta Douleur

Camille is an incredible vocalist. I first heard her about a year ago - her stylings and arrangements are very fresh and creative. I wish I understood French, but I still enjoy her music.
