Theremin Week #2

3/1/2017

0 Comments

 
After an amazing performance by Hikashu last night @ The Foundry 616, I was inspired to try out some new techniques on the theremin. 
​​
Here's a short example:
 Some of these include:
  • Using the space around the theremin (e.g. discovering the 'circle' - perhaps same note on the radius around the antenna, as well as above and below - different tone colour)
  • Different hand motions and techniques as well as speed
  • Using perhaps the microphone stand or something in the center/as a measuring point/distance
  • Thinking of perhaps measuring out the semitones and drawing concentric circles on a piece of paper to be placed on the theremin (wooden part)
  • Using objects to create sounds (e.g. tried with a card- it works to create dynamic fluctuations in the left hand)

​These are the current settings on the theremin and amp:

Watch my progress videos:
First session of Week 2. Exploring movement and sound. Attempting to play a tune.
Second session this week. This time, playing with one of my original electronic tracks.

​P.S. I saw Koichi Makigami play the Jew's Harp for the first time last night. Loving the sounds it can make, especially with effects pedals. Check it out here.
