Sally's Song on Theremin

[Chickenkeeper24]

Can you please send me the backing track of Sally's Song? I really want to learn this piece on my theremin!

[mecsfudge]

Sublime.

[yourwhiteskinlover]

I'm learning it on the same theremin :)

very very amazing performance

world needs more of this.

[vortexxman]

Just wondering, what kind of amp do you use? I have a B3 too, and I use a Moog amplifier, but I can't get that same kind of "singing" tone.

[rexleeking]

@vortexxman I use Apple's Garageband's vocal effects. Under real Instrument/Vocals/Epic Diva.

Try it if you are using a Mac :D

[vortexxman]

@rexleeking Gaaaaah. I knew I shoulda gotten a Mac. My PC doesn't have that. So, you plugged the Theremin into your amp, and then hooked your amp up to your Mac with a USB?

[rexleeking]

@vortexxman I use an USB audio interface.

via 1/4 inch mono cable from my Theremin to > audio interface and to > my mac via USB. Garageband comes free when you get any mac :D

LOVE IT!!!!!

More more more!

How did you get just the background track for this? I want to try!

[Smidthmador]

I LOVE this little boy!!! He gets five stars!!

Not so much the guy that it brings up though or the site I first found the song on (The old guys business). They are ruining theremins! Just for the sake of getting it on a circuit board. Truely sad... I wish that they would embrace the sound the electronic version has. I love square sounds!

[herextus]

FANTASTICO!!!

[1viva]

I have heard many people play the theremin but NONE whatsoever as good as you. Your pitch is always dead on!.

I want to buy one from Moog or Burns...would you still recommend the small affordable B3 model you are playing in this video?

Thanks!

Mario

Thanks 1viva, I really like the B3, I will definitely recommend it for beginners, it took me about 6 months to learn how to play the theremin, but it is all worth it :)

[ZShadow]

This is the first time I have seen an instrument of this type performed, and I really like the sound it creates, as well as the hand motions that go along with playing it. Really involves the musician, an the listener, to create a truly eerie experience that captivates the mind. Lovely work!

[1viva]

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer.

With your skills, I would'nt wait too long before spoiling us with new great Theremin videos! ;-)

i love the way you play! most of the professional players i've seen look really stiff. It looks like you are relaxed and are pulling the music from the air instead of making the proper gestures to get the music to play. How long have you been playing?

[rexleeking]

Thanks Dlcaber, I've been playing for about a year and a half :D

[Cleopatra1408]

Thanks for sharing Rex. Well played. :) D

[carlajpatterson]

it's so tiny! I'm surprised. this is lovely, rex. :)

[thetransistors]

great job!

I like how you play B3 theremin!

[saccharineh8]

It's amazing how your theremin sounds so much like her actual singing voice! Amazing!

[Smidthmador]

Absolutely OUTSTANDING!!! Best theremin song I've heard!! IMO they usually have a tendency to sound synthetic, but that sounded totally like some type of string instrument!

*KUDOS*

[MrPointless]

I completely agree; possibly the best rendition of this song on youtube as well - but let's just leave that for now and agree upon the fact that this is absolutely great.

[yourxworstxflaw]

seriously incredible. Great job :)

[mkkmypet]

wow, awesome theremin playing! :D this is one of my favorite NBFC songs, too. very nice job~! :]

[ThomasGrillo]

Very nicely played. Thanks.
