2nd Class BLOG - The THEREMIN

The Theremin is a magnificent instrument used to get the purest of electronic tones. The untouchable instrument is used multi-variously but most recently it has been incorporated in a large number of different electronic artists. But before these performers got a hold of the melodic antenna it was perfected by a vast few who used it in a classical formation. From DJ’s to classical composers, this musical tool has always surprised people and has held a valuable reputation for its solid, oscillating tones. These tones can bring shivers down the spine, can conjure up a cold sweat, rarely used to evoke happiness the Theremin tends to sound a bit eary (Twilight Zone)

This is the Theremin being used at one of our shows :) Le National - Dec 5th\2009

if you watch at 3:28, Anh Phung plays the theremin which runs through a BOSS GT-8 Multi Effects pedal. (reverb + delay was used) Although hardly used, the instruments serves its purpose well :)

"what is that thing shes plays?"

"what the hell is she doing?"

were questions commonly asked after this performance.
