Questi sono i primi minuti de 'L'uomo amplificato',un lavoro teatrale de L'aquila Signorina Terzadecade sulla vita dello scienziato sovietico Lev Sergeyevich Termen, inventore del theremin, lo strumento musicale elettronico che si suona senza alcun contatto fisico. Come gli altri esterni del video che accompagna lo spettacolo, anche la prima parte di questo filmato è stata girata a Rapallo. Seguendo le note del thereminvox di Pamelia Kurstin sarete condotti nelle atmosfere astratte di Synchromy n°2 (1935) di Mary Ellen Bute, la cineasta sperimentale americana che venne in contatto con Termen alla fine degli anni'20. A quella New York in fermento allude il brano musicale iniziale (2nd. movement of "First Airphonic Suite for RCA Theremin and Orchestra") per theremin e pianoforte, scritto da Joseph Schillinger nel 1929 e interpretato da Lydia Kavina. Schillinger, che fu teorico della musica e interessato agli sviluppi dell'elettronica, era spesso ospite di Termen nel suo studio-laboratorio della Fifth Avenue, così come avveniva per compositori come Varese o direttori d'orchestra come Stokowski.

These are the first minutes of 'Man amplified', a theatre work by Terzadecade L'aquila Signorina. The show is dedicated to the life of the soviet scientist Lev Sergeyevich Termen (better known as Leon Theremin), inventor of the theremin, the only analogic electronic instrument that you can play without any physical contact. Like the other exteriors displayed during the show, also the first part of this sequence has been shot in Rapallo (Liguria - Italy). Following the tones and loops of Pamelia Kurstin's thereminvox, you will be lead to the abstract atmospheres of "Synchromy n°2" by Mary Ellen Bute (1935). The young film maker met Termen during his stay in New York and the same happened to Joseph Schillinger, who, in those years, wrote many composition for theremin and orchestra. The video itself starts with one of them. It's a lieder (2nd. movement of "First Airphonic Suite for RCA Theremin and Orchestra", written in 1929), featuring a theremin, played by Lydia Kavina, and a piano. By the way, many other composers (such as Edgar Varese) and conductors (such as Stokowski) payed frequent visits to Termen's studio in Fifth Avenue, being interested in combining new and old musical instruments within their work.

I first came across Chicago born composer Laurie Spiegel on an amazing compilation album collecting the leftfield recordings of women such as Pauline Oliveros, Megan Roberts and Laurie Anderson. Although she made a sideways move into software design (creating the much loved Music Mouse tool) Spiegel has a fine back catalogue that is worth exploring - much of it rivaling the more celebrated work of the Berlin School electronic bands... Growing up in the 70s and 80s, I had a genuine dread of nuclear war. With a Protect And Survive leaflet in every sideboard and bomb drills practiced at primary school, I was especially intimidated by government films meant to educate, inform and reassure. The accompanying video has been reedited from the bizarrely optimistic 'About Fallout', which tries to put a positive spin on armageddon. Presented here, in tandem with Spiegel's thoughtful synth strokes, some of that dread dutifully returns.
