Theremin
Dear Friends
*It is a quantum instrument played solely by the energy from player's hands.*
The instrument creates a magnetic field which is played without being touched
and emits a sound which resembles the human voice.
The thereminist stands in front of the instrument and moves his or her hands
in the proximity of two metal antennas.
The distance from one antenna determines frequency (pitch), and the distance
from the other controls amplitude (volume).
The Theremin uses the *heterodyne principle to generate an audio signal.*
This instrument is notoriously difficult to master.
The Theremin was invented by Leo Theremin, a Russian who, in 1920,
presented it to Vladimir Illich Ulianov, alias *Lenin*.
Lenin was so impressed by its sound that he ordered production of 600 instruments.
Lenin sent Leo on a voyage to introduce this instrument to the world.
Only three countries in the world have music schools that teach the
Theremin – Russia, Japan and Ireland.
Listen, it's original and beautiful.
In this orchestra, there is a woman who is playing an instrument called 'the Theremin.'
