Congratulations to ThereminWorld member MarbleMad on hitting the youtube home page yesterday withhis solar powered Altoids can theremin.

It may have rolled off by now, but was there long enough for three people I know to have seen it, and of course many more must have too.
Now they know the word Theremin and if one of them seeks further and gets hooked...

Poster: Senster and spacedog

Thereminst and sound artist Sarah Angliss has been perfecting her Theremin Playing Robot Doll Clara now at version 2.0.

Sarah's also known here at TW as part of the science inspired performing group Senster and is the artist known as spacedog (in honor of the first K9 cosmonaut).

We know the non-tactile, space controlled instrument started with Lev.
But his principles are inspiring new interfaces perfect for music lovers who've mastered pantomiming in the air along with their favorite records.

The Air Piano by Omer Yosha uses infrared sensors to control other electronic instruments.

Many at TW have been aware of the popularity of the Theremin in Japan, and how it seems much greater, comparatively at least, than here in the States or Europe.

To further add to that impression, the Theremin was recently featured in a few pages of the manga "Nodame Cantabile"(wikipedia entry).
The ongoing story follows a music student, Megumi Noda, in her adventures with a strong mix of humor and romance.

Here's a fun little project created by a theremin fan in Japan. The theremin is built inside an original NES "Famicom" (Family Computer). It's probably not going to be very useful for an on-stage performance, but as a desktop theremin it does just fine.

Synthopiaspotted a wild wackypersonal theremin from Tim Kaiser.

The Classic GeigerPhone Theremin is based on a red phone and a geigercounter antenna. It's Kaiser's personaltheremin. It's also known as the Gphone, for reasons that should be obvious.
