JS Bach performed on Theremin

Violin Concerto in A Minor performed on B3 Theremin by Chris Howe. Thereminist since December 2006. Pseudo two-camera technique. A very delicate audio and video splicing job. Original tune cut down from 7:30.

this is really not very good... and quite out of tune at most parts. :(

[dvision23]

Yeah, let's see you try... :)

[kenjibeast]

You have uncommonly good intonation. Beautiful performance.

[dvision23]

Thanks. I had know idea what I was doing here. Just look at my fingers!

[patotubes]

when can i learn to use this device¡??

[dvision23]

I suggest you begin right away!

Theremin cannot be out of tune... It can only be out of key due to the artist's ear... Theremin have perfect picth.

A mixture of the sublime and severely out of tune. Congratulations on an overall good performance. My theremin is only a one antenna model, and I'm still getting the hang of it.

[thedamondude]

i dont think i have the intonation to do it.

[edthewave]

This is actually quite good considering the technical challenges the theremin presents.

[imaginativelads]

FANTASTIC for a novice you have incredible potential. If I were you I'd do this every day until it was absolutely flawless. You have more patience than I do my friend. PHENOMINAL JOB!

[Twinkleh]

this is awesome! :D

@Moshpith

Nom nom nom... nom. I just eated your arguement. It's now invalid.

[Moshpith]

The only thing more painful to experience than a theremin played out of tune is a load of pseudo-sophisticates who spent their precious moments trying to dream up some clever repartee to a off-the-cuff remark. BibleStorm--Back at ya, Elijah. Fallschrimmjager- Did you know that word is Norwegian for "Willing to Orally Copulate You"? You use "snarky twit" and you think someone ELSE is desperately trying to appear bright? ROFLMAO.

@Moshpith Well then it's pretty mean. He had pretty amazing pitch, actually. I'm not saying it was in tune the entire performance, it wasn't, but I actually built a theremin a while ago and it is REALLY HARD to play one of these things. You have no right to be sarcastic at someone's honest attempt to play a song. I felt he played quite well, too, so don't bring someone's youtube account name into this and just enjoy some Bach.

[Fallschrimmjager]

A little out off in some spots, but a theremin is by no means easy to master. Very well done, sir. Anyone who claims pitch of the piece was perfect has no ear for music, plain and simple. Those who believe an electronic instrument can not be out of tune has no idea how the instrument works. As for the infant who managed to insult all religious people in comments about a musical piece...grow up. Being a snarky twit hardly makes you seem as bright as you are so desperately trying to appear.

@BibleStorm It was a comment on literalism...that was obviously so off-pitch a performance I never dreamed anyone would take that comment as serious. It's good to know even the unbelievers among us can be so literal minded that misconceptions like this can occur...I always assumed it was the fundies only. No offense intended...
