@scullshot I wonder. Wikipedia mentioned she was a jazz bassist first and for bass you use your left hand to change the pitch so maybe it just felt more natural...
-
@kazumamaster Autumn Leaves. It's a very popular jazz standard.
-
@withoutnameorplace That's a very interesting point, though I'd like to point out that Pamelia hints at something like an out of body experience while playing because of the sheer amount of concentration that she puts into isolating specific parts of her form.
-
@moxoloxom but she plays fast pieces in this video. I'm confused.
-
@withoutnameorplace You might mean "irk." It "irks" you.
-
How is that hard? This is goofy.
-
@withoutnameorplace Requires a different level of appreciation from watching a physical personality a-shakin' and a-jumpin'. Pamelia compresses better music from the energy that would otherwise be expended in unnecessary head, shoulder, and hip gyrations. This is less distracting to the music, at least for the audience.

She is soooo awesome. I love the way she's so quirky
-
Just realized that this is probably not her channel and she probably never sees any of the comments and questions. Too bad:( Because this is my favorite of the theremin vids so far!
I wonder what it would sound like if she sneezed while doing this...

@withoutnameorplace Sorry but that sounds like psudeo-intellectual nonsense. You must not play an instrument or you would know that they all have some limitation and many "trap" the body of the musician in some way. By your logic the piano is a better instrument than a trumpet because you're free to eat a sandwhich while playing it. I don't understand what you're trying to say about teaching or duality in expression. She's an artist playing an instrument like any other.
