Ave Maria - BWV 846 (Bach-Gounod) played on the thereminvox & some other sounds

The theremin (or thereminvox) is one of the earliest electronic musical instruments, and the first musical instrument played without being touched. It was invented by Russian inventor Léon Theremin (Russian: Лев Сергеевич Термен) in 1919. The controlling section usually consists of two metal antennas which sense the position of the player's hands and control radio frequency oscillator(s) for frequency with one hand, and volume with the other. The electric signals from the theremin are amplified and sent to a loudspeaker. The theremin is an electrophone.

А где вы такой аппарат взяли? Купили или сами склепали?

[DemidMS]

Его изобрел Лев Термен в 1919, а сейча он изготавливается в Америке и импрортируется сюда. Его можно купить ~ за $700

kk, wiki just cleared me up ; )

'The frequency of the other oscillator is controlled by the performer's distance from the pitch control antenna. The performer's hand acts as the grounded plate (the performer's body being the connection to ground) of a variable capacitor in an L-C (inductance-capacitance) circuit.'

Didn't know he meant the 'generator' in a sound-generating way :shame:

[DemidMS]

You`re right - she alters C in the L-C circuit=)

'Generator' is a russian terminology but 'oscilator' is alo used but scientists mean that this termin subscribes mechanical or quantum mechanical systems :))))

[simpleeyelid]

WELL I have to admit this is a cool one, although I almost lost my patience when viewing the first half 2 minutes

[DemidMS]

Phisics is a difficulte science;)

Thank you!

[solidkingcobra]

i love how they fast forward teh scienty stuff.

[artman40]

Imagine a theremin/musical saw duet.

[MrYANKUZ]

Фантастика! То что изобрел Лев Термен в начале прошлого века - это Гениально! А музыка!!! Спасибо!

[intercomsec]

And she uses a Marshall amp!

Lev Sergeivich Termen ... a bit different than Leon Theremin. Lev means Leon (Lion in English) but why to modify his family name ???

Do we call Mr Barak Obama: Barakka Bamaluma ??? NO! And then: why you need to modify the name of others ?

[rxhxtx]

amazing!

[abanent]

super....

[ceacheaese]

La media vola conchetumare!!!

[malforea]

So good. Congratulations! =)

Nada mal pero Lydia Kavina es la Reina en éste instrumento.

[blexfort]

Отлично! Спасибо!
