Willow's Song (Hammer sandwich mix) - with theremin

[BohemianAsh]

Wow, this is so trippy and great. I loved the original song in The Wicker Man, but this is good too :)

This is the first time I've heard anything by Spacedog. Brilliant!

..interesting but Im not sure if the voice samples replace the haunting violins?? did the sneaker pimps do a cover of this??

[goncalobotelhosousa]

yep. it's the last song of their first album

[electronicoffee]

yes, the final track of their first album.. it's simply enchanting. this version is VERy good as well..

[spugintrntl]

@electronicoffee They have albums? Where can I get one??

[tyjeffries]

I saw these guys live the other night.... the way they work with film clips and live performance is incredibly exiting and creates a really moving experience. Jenny has such a beautiful voice hasnt she? And Sally is not only playing the Theramin but controlling the speed/tone of the voice clips from the movie too... its really cool!

[tyjeffries]

oops I mean SARAH! who is Sally I wonder?

[thjoll]

[Pompomsugarpuffs]

[harrypartch]

Thanks for that. can you explain a bit more about how the theremin is controlling the sound samples?Would really appreciate that thanks

Hello

Thanks for your comments - it's a Max/MSP patch, running on the Mac. This continually measures the pitch of the theremin (using a simple zero-crossing method), then uses this to control the playback speed of the audio and video samples. Moving up an octave doubles the speed of the video. There are various other ways to do the same thing, for instance using a fourier transform or - if your theremin has CV out - directly measuring voltage. Hope that answers your question!

An interesting variation of Willow's Song. The start was very unusual, and the lack of violins replaced by the woman's voice was very interesting. Thank you for sharing this one with me. Nice version of the song.
