Theremin Jam

For those of you who don't know, the theremin is the first electronic instrument ever made. It's played with only your hands, and you don't touch it at all.

More at Wikipedia


Anyway, it's played with two (maybe three? I couldn't tell what that one with the floor was, I think it was a theremin...) theremins, a single electric guitar, two keyboards, and a drum machine.

It's just amazing, and it sounds exactly like it. It's just you can't hear words, but you hear the tones they make.

Here it is! (click)

 

Yeah, i've seen some things about this lately. It seems to be gaining popularity. Also seems like it's a cool instrument.

 

Man that ---- right there is cool!! Thanks for sharing the invention

 

Yeah no problem. it's funny, 1919, first electronic instrument and it's only just now getting popular. It's just an awesome instrument...

 

Pretty neat. Would be interesting to hear it used in an actual song instead of mimicing.

 

there clearly touching it with their hands

its an interesting instrument though

 

I've heard some stuff about the theremin, but I've never seen it in action. That was pretty damn cool I have to admit.

 

Its pretty cool, doesn't sound that great though tbh.

 

i heard about dis somewhere on youtube and i was impressed by the way the dude played it
