A new innovation in theremin technique and sound, the theremin “flute”. This is an original 444Hz meditation video performed on one of the world's FIRST electronic musical instruments called the theremin.

I have developed my very own special theremin technique inspired by Native-flute music. Let me know in the comments if this video has helped you! :)
The theremin by itself is ONE of the world's FIRST electronic musical instruments invented by Soviet-Russian physicist Leon Theremin around 1919/1920. As it is considered just one of the first electronic instruments invented, it is however the world's first WIDELY distributed electronic musical instrument. Really making it in my book, the #1 and FIRST successful electronic instrument. Depends who you ask!
The stock market crash of Leon's time made a negative impact on the theremin, as it was just way too expensive to buy a theremin during that time. Thus making the theremin today a little "unknown" or a hidden gem.
You've probably heard this musical instrument in classic sci-fi and horror film soundtracks. The theremin started it's iconic movie history in 1940s-1950s with films such as "Spellbound" (1945) or much later, "The Day the Earth Stood Still" (1951).
Now days, the music and technology has rapidly innovated itself with new genres and more theremins available! For this theremin "flute" project, I was firstly inspired by the sounds of the sitar. The pitch bends were my favorite! And when my buddy, Jimi Durso from New York City, and I started jamming via the internet; he showed me lots of music from the Eastern hemisphere.
The sitar sounds quickly became a Native-inspired flute like technique. Although I do know how to perform the theremin "flute", I just can't seem to figure out how to write it all down. That's the NEXT step! Until the next video. :)
The theremin "flute" is never intended to replace any traditional music instruments. The project is solely aimed to focus on helping others meditate and relax.

    The pitch slide sounds similar to overblowing a flute (like a shakuhachi will do that), and it’s like playing higher partials on a brass instrument. The stutter can be done in a few different ways depending on the flute you are using. It’s typically going to be a tongue stop, or a glottal stop. It might be considered a slow tremolo.

    Native Ameican flute and Japanese shakuhachi (and me playing my self-made bamboo flutes which are somewhat in between a quena and a shakuhachi) are also some of my inspirations for my theremin playing (beside a lot of ather influences) and I've played my theremin in the context of sound healing as well.

    any tips for someone with ADHD to learn the theremin? did you know how to read music beforehand? how did you stick with it long enough to get good at it?

    • @ThereminFlute
      @ThereminFlute Місяць тому

      In my young adult years, I had to juggle many hobbies that didn’t really go anywhere. I did photography, videography, graphic design, and then theremin. I unified and combined all my other interests into my theremin work. Try asking yourself, can some of my current hobbies be useful or add value for the theremin? I haven’t read music notation since I was in middle school band. For me, the theremin “flute” stems from practicing improvisation and a good ear. I normally feel much more comfortable improvising than I do with written music. I have a hard time with motivation. Sometimes my brain doesn’t get the mental reward that most people get when doing a task. And it can be difficult. Right now I’m going through that a lot more. I find theremin videos that help me keep on track and motivated! Hope this helps!

    @copperleaves 2 місяці тому

    Very nicely done, and the timbre is right👍, but the giveaway is the vibrato. On a Native American flute (as well as on end-blown flutes) vibrato is performed with breath control which lends a characteristic “tremolo” to the vibrato, so there is a subtle increase and decrease in volume as well as in pitch. This is slightly different from pure vibrato on a theremin, which is strictly a variation in pitch, as the hand of the thereminist moves above and below the “center” of the note. The theremin cannot play connected notes (i.e. two or more notes in succession with no space between them) that are separated by an interval of more than about a third or a fourth. A flute or a keyboard can do this easily.

    • @ThereminFlute
      @ThereminFlute 2 місяці тому

      Great point and I think that differentiates the theremin “flute” technique from a real flute. The technique is never intended to 100% replicate an actual flute. It allows the theremin “flute” technique to have it’s own characteristics. I took some inspiration from flute music I love and made my own theremin twist! Always an honor to read what you have to say Peter! Thank you for your insight! I will keep innovating this style. 😁

      @@ThereminFlute I love this music, and you know I work in production, recording and 'promotion', I think I said that before. Do you see the 'promote' button under your video? It may just be a feature on music channels. If it is there, how about we give you a wider audience? What I do, I hit the promote button, run a $10 ad for 7 days. 2 kinds of ads here; "Audience Growth" and "Video Views", I run $10 ads for each, with every new video on our channel. Pay to play, but it's the only way. Your therimin can bring in 3k views a week, and maybe 1,000 subs a week. Just don't break the bank; save for it. Maybe delete this comment, that therimin is going to be popular.
