    If Theremin becomes a mainstream instrument, Carolina will be regarded as a major player (heh) in music history for the technique she invented. And then, this video will become a testament to how it came to be. You could be watching a video that will be featured in many documentaries 100 years from now. This is so cool.

      Maybe the other commenter made it sound too extreme but there is some truth to it. We can’t access the memories like a scene in our head but I believe the sort of categories for information and the associations in memory might be passed down some how. That is how the mouse knows to fear(association) a shadow in a certain shape(the shape belongs to the category of predator).

    I adore her technique for playing the Theremin. I’ve always liked it as an instrument, but having seen this technique I feel like it has really grown in my heart.
    While the way you play the instrument is so radically different, skilled players make such intense, passionate gestures as part of this technique, it’s a pleasure to watch.
    I hope it grows in popularity as an instrument across the globe, it has such a wonderful sound.

  • @masonr1666
    @masonr1666 Рік тому +3

    It seems like the theremin might have been easier to play if flipped.
    The right hand when playing guitar (or bass), controls the volume of the instrument, and the left hand controls the pitch.
    So, sitting with the controls on the opposite side of the instrument would feel more natural. Because, with the set up now, the hands are reversed.
