This video is an experiment to see how rapidly the theremin can be injected into the world's collective consciousness. It's amazing that not everyone knows what a theremin is. It was one of the first electronic musical instruments ever made and it was invented in 1919. Are Cee-Lo and Danger Mouse from Gnarls Barkley really theremin players? There's only one way to find out!

some notes:
The main theremin was passed through iZotope Trash, an awesome software guitar effects plugin. The video was edited entirely in Adobe After Effects. The hand on the carpet was to simulate wind noise, definitely cause for confusion. This also means all the parts of the song were performed with hands only. CRAZY!

Randy George - Moog Etherwave Pro Theremin, Moog Etherwave Theremin, Minimoog Voyager, carpet
KD - Akai MPC drum machine
OG - background vocals on keyboard
Elliot - Fender Bass VI

This video performance is dedicated to the pioneers, Leon Theremin and Bob Moog, who devoted their lives to music in the electronic medium. Without them the music world would not be what it is today.

If you enjoyed this, please subscribe! It can only get better from this point forward.

    Dude, the end of the video actually shows a Google search for the instrument. How could you possibly ask "wut is that thing" after watching this? I'd ask if you were illiterate, but you typed that message you posted, so you can read. As a suggestion, take a moment to look before you type your next comment.

    I enjoy listening to this play alongside the actual song. I'm not a fan of CeeLo Green or anything, but the theremin makes this song so much better.
