this genius is still alive?!

[grimtim2]

no, he died around 1995

[hellonieman]

when you get older like that, you automatically acquire some killer vibrato.

absolutely gifted and brilliant man.

first person to transmit live television images, but was deemed a top secret kgb tool and was never officially recognized for that.

we may have never seen bob moog without him.

Theramin is also one of the best spies of the Soviet Union.

@fizmo909 Glinsky, Albert (2000). Theremin: Ether Music and Espionage. Urbana, Illinois: University of Illinois Press. ISBN 0-252-02582-2. if you can find the book it has reference to it. i assume you also found out about his other espionage devices, like the first micro microphone for wire tapping. hope this helps, i also wrote a report on him about 10 years ago for a theatre class.

@fizmo909 Really? i'm writing an essay about this guy. i've just done a quick search for something to support what you say but cant find anything :( I don't suppose you know where to find a reference? thanks

I wish Prof. Theremin was giving me a Theremin lesson ;) ;) ;)

[DavesTrumpet]

Such historic footage!

[bobbo924B]

I wish I could find anything around today that has this characteristic string/vocal sound! Clara's sounded much the same.

[lillance785]

i want to play something scarey one one!

[Bryan198026]

Hmmm, that could be why I have so much trouble with the low notes on my Etherwave. When I do manage to get down to the lower notes (I have to sort of angle the therimin on the table to do it), the pitch antenna goes whacko. I either need to make money and move into a bigger place where I can leave it set up permanently or my Etherwave needs an internal tuning. Right now both are rather beyond my means and will be until I can get a job.

you are such an asshole
