The « termenvox » or theremin is the musical instrument that you play without touching, only with the movements of your hands in the air. It was invented by the Russian physicist Lev Theremin in 1919. You can hear the sound of the Theremin in classical, jazz or rock music, in the former Soviet Union cinema and in movies from other countries, in TV series, in works from artists such as Led Zeppelin, Sting, Pink Floyd, Jean-Michel Jarre and many others. Practising the Theremin develops hand gestures, hearing, coordination and gives the player the unique feeling of shaping the sound with light movements.
« Theremin Go! » is :
- A historical presentation and anecdotes
- Presenting the Theremin and its different models
- Positioning of the hands
- « Theremin ensemble »
- Theremin and FX
