Theremins are electronic musical instruments which are played without being touched. They use a radio-magnetic-electrical field around the antennas as the interface by which they're played. Our interactions causes changes in the field's capacitence, and this causes changes to a variable oscilator (tone generating device), which works with another oscilator to produce sound which is sent to a peaker via audio cable.

More info at thereminworld . com, in the theremin construction forums. :)

Hey, it would be nicer if you'd only play the part who is normally voice.

Yeh, Other than the very start, I prettymuch did the voice. It was a touch decision to follow the piano at the start. :)

That was very impressive. So focused and serious. lol. Good job. Do you play any traditional instruments? It seems like you would be good at playing the violin with that vibrato-like technique you use.

Thank you. I played the violin from age 7 to about 12, and switched to flute for a while, and then voice. I much prefer the theremin as it really connects with me on an emotional level in ways conventional instruments don't with me, even though I may not allways show it im my facial expressions. :)
