[N3VER3NDS]

@owlcity . Adam bring me here. what the weird was that ?

[TheFrenziedPianist]

Yes. There is an instrument called a theramin. Its played by invisible waves, and depending on how far away your hands are, determines the tune. Oh and Adam Young sent me. (:

[Orangiraff24]

yes...Adam sent me here too :D

[WhatTheDanielaa]

LOL,Adam Young tweeted (:

[KaylaMuffins]

, owl city's twitter led me here. this is super.... weird. haha

[TheLoneParty]

Adam sent me :)

[bocuster]

Check out the crazy chairs!

[Corollaboi]

Pitchy in places but it's a tough instrument to play!

[rmattcross]

Theramin is just an oscillator connected to an "antenna" that is very sensitive to capacitance. Moving the hand changes the capacitance between hand and antenna, which in turn varies the pitch of the oscillation. The only problem (which can be seen at the very end of this video), is that if the hand is moved to far away at the wrong time, the capacitance increases, which lowers the oscillation tone to the point where it sounds like she farted.

[ntxhaishmoob92]

oh gee! it was hilarious! it does sound like a fart but it was very nice at the beginning.

[endydaniyanto]

@rmattcross It does sound like she farted! LOL

[HippieChick563]

@rmattcross Ohhhhhhh! Is THAT what she's doing?? I've never seen anything like this before and I thought she was humming or something!!! Boy do I feel dumb haha

[dontbothameh]

nice(^________________________­______^)

[kampam3]

how does she do with the breathing? thats incredible!

[anric77]

it's not her breathing. it's the theremin inside the Matrioshka doll. it is sensitive to hand movement.

[mosangful]

dfdfh dsfgsdfg

[jackhincham]

I was actually tearing up. How silly is that. God bless every human being who makes a contribution like this to the beauty enjoyed by other people in the world. Well done, both of you.

[SexToysWebsitecom]

The opposite of blowing across the top of a bottle opening..

[gatorgirl132014]

WOOOAH

[theresalwaysaplanb]

THANK YOU THEREMINS FOR THIS SONG!

i've been looking for great oldies. and this is definitely a song that fits that description. :D

[musicalfreek1994]

how does this "instrument(

???)" work?

[artlthepolarbear]

magic.

[theresalwaysaplanb]

Can't fully explain it on here, sorry. But you can search it up on youtube or google if you're really interested.

Keyword : Theremin

[VJMisterCocoon]

Dear Santa- Please just this once, will you get me what I want for Christmas? I really really want one :)

[GraemeSPa]

Fantastic - did she hypnotise that doll?? LMAO - thats the first time I ever heard of a Theremin University. Boob Moog will be laughing his butt off.

[mattydubs1]

ok humming like that is fightening

[Jopan]

@mattydubs1

She isn't humming. She's playing an instrument.

[tvraiderz]

Did I or did I NOT smoke a fucking joint...cuz this shis is FASCINATING!!!

[ajittffcure]

It's really good!

[mokisada]

マトリョミンでも癒される音楽を奏でることができることを発見。

「テルミン学習帳」買いました。

[paramsaram]

lovely^^

[waikikiwahaha]

すごく上手ですね。

椅子も素敵で不思議な空間です。

[trackkilla]

Correct me if I'm mistaking, but did they say that their music was "Electronica"? WTF!!!

[AristYdes]

how can a polish mamushka sing like that when a japanese girl moves her hand around it? hehe!

aaargf beautiful

[thomizz]

idiot! a matryoshka is from russia not poland

[AristYdes]

they are all communists

[Arenathos]

WTF!?

[djemiltr]

yeah!

I can't believe neither how a spanish matrushka can sing like that when an african girl moves her hand around it?

weird, isn't it?

[fatalitypaintball22]

this is sooooo shitty y are you playing a saramic piece of shit

[JakeTher]

Jake; The artists are very good but their little Theremin toy has too much capacitance across the input that slows down the frequency response so that the player is always behind locking the distance/frequency of the note! Result is that the output is a little draggy and off key sometimes high and sometimes low! This player is very excellent but on this instrument needs more practice to nail it.

Note: a good violin player with some guitar electronics can rock the world!

[viciousogg]

I have a feeling that some people think that the woman is vocalizing. She in actually playing an instument called the Matryomin; a variation of the Theremin. Google it.

[iZZle9349]

word up

[averagehomosapien]

This is one of the bizarrest music videos I have ever seen...

[passionpicking]

could you explain a little the voice technique for those that don't know????? beautiful voice

thank you for sharing

chris

[Keeper1st]

Uhh... what voice?

[xpaintmarks]

It's not a voice technique, she's using a Matryomin which is a kind of Theremin.

[garywrightny]

as judges on AMERICAN IDOL would say: "kinda pitchy"

[naga3717]

One of the most wonderful videos on YouTube. Thank you.

[viranilebeachcomber]

I thought of it, but this version is way better than mine !!! Very nice, one of my favorite song.

[dvision23]

Why didn't I think of that!
