Pamelia Kurstin: Theremin, the untouchable music
Pamelia is one of the most precise and talented thereminsts on the planet. Her walking bass theremin technique must be seen to be believed! Watch it here.
I have heard people play the Theremin but never like this, the video is 20 minutes long, watch it or listen to it in the background, it is well worth it.
IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT A THEREMIN IS READ BELOW BEFORE WATCHING THE VIDEO:
The theremin is one of the earliest fully electronic musical instruments. It was invented by Russian inventor Léon Theremin in 1919, and it is unique in that it was the first musical instrument designed to be played without being touched. The controlling section generally consists of two metal antennas to sense the relative position of the player’s hands. These sensors control audio oscillator(s) for frequency from one hand, and volume from the other. The electric signals from the theremin are amplified and sent to a loudspeaker.
