The family and friends of Clara Rockmore and her sister Nadia Reisenberg have been very busy for the past few years.Since the initial formation of the Nadia Reisenberg/Clara Rockmore Foundation, we have been able to enjoy re-releases of classic, and some previously unavailable recordings by these remarkable sister virtuosos.
The foundation has just launched a new web site to serve as a public archive for these important musicians.

Monday, Nov 3rd, was the 15th anniversary of Lev Termen's passing into the Aether. This has been such an historic week, I was not able to do him the honor of a memento until today. Gosh, 15 years already, that man changed our lives. We cannot let him be forgotten!
Hope you have a moment this week to think of him.
Keep On Playing!

I promise, I had nothing to do with this! Democraticstuff.com is offering a "Thereminists for Obama" button for a mere $1. Sure, Bill Clinton could play the saxophone, but that's nothing compared to a theremin-playing President!

The Bob Moog Foundation has not only been doing great work to catalogue Bob's archives but tremendous outreach too. As an embodiment of the mission to carry on his innovations fitting together as a new organic whole the human and the technical, Sean McDonald and other foundation members worked with HatchFest (an arts festival focused on innovation which is held regionally in different parts of the country), and the software group VidVox on some cool new Theremin Magic.

Of the three biggest influences in the early history of space controlled instruments, the theremin triumvirate of Lev Termen, Clara Rockmore, and Lucie Bigelow Rosen, Lucie Rosen has been the least documented and appreciated. Almost no recordings of her have been available.
With her work as sponsor of the inventor, Lev Termen, a commissioner of new works for the theremin, and a touring performer, Lucie Rosen was tremendously important in the early life and eventual survival of the instrument.
