Can you do a solo video with percussion in the background?
Love your artistry
Eu não tinha conhecimento desse instrumento e eu amei, meu Deus que lindooo
I'm so fascinated by your talent. I've only seen this done a few times and they were not close to the way you play. Now I want to give it a try. I've seen how much they cost but I don't care. If I could only get a small amount of the talent you have, it would be a definite possibility. You've definitely got my attention. Thank you for sharing this video. I now have a definite new interest 😁. You are in a class all by yourself. Thank you for making this evening awesome!

People who said the Theramin could never be played accurately or consistantly enough for it to ever be considered a serious instrument are so clearly proven wrong here by the maestro. Now THAT is dedication.
you can see that her shoulder and whole upper arm are very still, so developing muscle memory is probably a lot easier than a lot of people would think (not to say that this isn't very impressive, it is). experienced double bass and cello players can jump quite far on the fingerboard and still nail notes perfectly, so saying the theremin would be impossible to play sounds kinda stupid
All i can think of after this is Sheldom Cooper seeing this video, being awestruck and sitting in the stairwell practicing this song on tharamin.
@@krakus_kromkus it's actually not about muscle memory. The intonation of the instrument changes due to humidity. If you can play it one room accurately it doesn't mean you can do that in other rooms.
Never underestimate a musical mind with enough determination and practice.
@@n0rber10 being able to hear if you're playing the right note is a big part of it but the muscle memory makes it so that you don't have to slide up or down to the right note, every time I got a bigger violin it took me less time to adjust because I'd gotten better at knowing exactly where the right notes were.
"What instrument do you play?"
"Air."
"Are you a conductor?"
"My body is a conductor."
Which is how the theremin works.
Calm down there Aang. Lol
This deserves more likes!
Woosh if gay.
She's not the Avatar.
If you brought an instrument like a theremin to a medieval village they’d probably accuse you of witchcraft. It’s an amazing instrument
Honestly, if you brought it to a rural village today they might still accuse you of witchcraft.
There are many places in the world today where you don’t even need a theremin to be accused of witchcraft.
Under the right circumstances even I’d believe it was some form of magic
@@alekvillarreal3470Представляете,как удивлена я,которая родилась в СССР и только сегодня узнала про существование этого инструмента.Тем более удивительно,что его изобрели в Москве России в 1918 году.
Bring a generator 😂
Two things:
1. My 5 month old was crying, but stopped and was mesmerised by your performance.
2. This is genuinely the first time I've heard a Theremin sound like a 'proper' instrument and not just a novelty.
Love this
What? Come on, the old Star Trek theme is beautiful as hell.

Same here. Half an hour ago I didn't even know there was an instrument called a theremin 😅
Me too
Seme here...glad to have found her. Amazing!
This is the most futuristic video I have ever seen. In every respect, better than all the new Hollywood sci-fi films that have come out. This device is more innovative than a smartphone.
And less destructive for society as well.
@@thinkforyourself2109 oh
And was invented in the 1920s USSR!
No way you think a theremin is more innovative and advanced than a smartphone lmao. This device has existed for almost 100 years.
You clearly have no idea just how much technology and innovation goes into a smart phone. You must be pretty dumb tbh
1.) Instagram brought me here
2.) I’m curious to see someone use sign language with a Theremin
3.) She is true oh a master, that precision of hand and finger position. When the Theremin kicked in I got chills
*they way it is played looks so magical, like you're a witch making music out of thin air.*
Cristi I’m still confused of how this works
good comment but you don't need to *bold* all of it

Leon Theremin died penniless in a one bedroom apartment.
Even though most , if not all Electronic instruments of today would not have been possible without his research in magnetism.... The Theremin instrument started it all...
Without his research- No synthesizers , no guitar pickups, No Electronic instruments..

This feels like I’m floating in an endless ocean, sinking deeper and deeper into the eternity of the sea…
Well done.
same except like space
I LOVE this! The first time I heard 1:37, it took my breath away! 2:08 with the G natural was SO SURREAL!!! Also, looping takes so much practice to get it just right; I'm in such awe of your wonderful music, and I feel inspired watching this!
Your right
That G
That damn G
This totally feels like it could be the opening of a movie.
The original piece is a soundtrack by Ennio Morricone, so you guessed right! :)
@@carolinaeyckvideos Oh wow no way! I'll definitely need to check it out. By the way you're videos are amazing and you are super talented, thanks for sharing with us
It's the beginning of the final act of a movie so you're pretty close.
Jackass 2
@@Twangabilly Jackass is great, but to name that instead of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly doesn't feel quite right.
If someone could have played this in public 400 years ago they would have been burned at the stake.
I still want to do that. :-)

I was thinking the same thing like for real lmao
Carolina, just so you are aware, I'm a school teacher, and over the last few school years, I have shared this video of you performing Ecstasy of Gold to my students, as well as friends and family. Your performance of this song gives me chills and has never stopped giving me the goosebumps. Please keep up this amazing work!
I just can't keep from getting teary-eyed while watching this. Every damn time. It's such a powerful delivery, the combination of the voice and harmony, and the utter magic performance on the theramin. Just... fantastic!
You should listen to the original track this is covering. It’s a true masterpiece of music.
Ennio Morricone has died today, and this is the first thing I went and listened to this morning. Truly beautiful.
Escalier, same
I did the same, bro
Me too, and shared with lots of people.
R I P Ennio.
I also did this
Same!
After the first minute when the theremin really kicked in, I just felt overwhelmed with emotion... there's just something about this melody... 😭
Dude. Me too. Knot in the throat and everything
It’s an ethereal tune to begin with, and having it played on an ethereal-sounding instrument has a certain immaculateness to it.
It gave me tingles like what asmr does
Ennio Morricone is one of my favorite cinematic composers. "Once Upon a Time In the West" and "Gabriel's Oboe" are two of my favorite's, but he's got a number of other ones that follow close behind. He's certainly done some of the most iconic Western theme music including this piece.
Morricone is a great composer in that respect!
One of the greatest musical compositions of all time imo. We played this at my dad's cremation to send him off. Hits me in the deep feels every time I hear it.
"And probably the Greatest Movie ever made" ~ russ
So I watched this 30 times in a row… I don’t think I’m ready to leave yet. Thank you for sharing your gift talent with us and honoring a legendary composer.
Watching the precision of the right hand is absolutely mesmerizing.
Muscle memori is amazing skill
@@21LOLxPRO its not skill its talent
@@ghazapanca5002 you got that backwards chief. It is skill. Talent implies that you had some naturally ability to begin with. Skill implies that it is something that has been practised for a very long time in order to develop.
@@randoprior4130 what i meant is muscle memories
I know playing this are easy if you're already practicing this for like 4 hours a day
While people who gifted with muscle memories can play this and memorize all of its technic easily
@Harry Baals dude i know that
Literaly Every single person on earth knows that
And do you have any idea what muscle memory is?
If someone told me that this instrument was designed by aliens and recovered in area 51, I would believe them
Area 51 is for testing top secret weapons and nothing more. If we genuinely had a facility we kept aliens in no one would know it existed.
This Instrument was designed By aliens and recovered in Area 51.
Did you ever see the TV miniseries of Roddenberry's Martian Chronicles in the 70's? The alien woman was playing one I think.
Haha 😂 best comment I’ve seen today
Elvis Isacs good thing we’re storming it
Can't stop watching this, so beautiful
I've never heard anyone play it so in-tune! Awesome.
Legand has it that she is still hearting comments to this day
hahahaha
@@carolinaeyckvideos Yup
Its amazing-
the legends are real#
This song sounds so sad yet so triumphant. Like the sacrifice of something you loved or cared for to keep peace.
I like how you explained it. That's exactly the feeling.
Now that you mention it, it sounds like something that would be fitting for something like Asuras Wrath.
Metal Gear Solid 3
It's from a cowboy movie. The actor Clint Eastwood is in it. You explained it perfectly.
Yeah its from the Dollars Trilogy (fist full of dollars, a few more dollars, and then the final and most famous film, which this song is featured in The Good The Bad and The Ugly) its about 3 different cowboys, and yes that is pretty much the meaning of the song, you nailed it perfectly.
this has 'voice calling you from inside the forest' vibes
Wow, this must be a “top of the line” theremin.
I can’t help but wonder if theremin players are like the Wednesday Addams of musicians, especially how this instrument has her displaying very precise actions in a small space.
Great to watch, and great to see she has taken the theremin beyond 60’s eerie space music...and into the future. 😏
*The ending is like watching a sunset from a planet lightyears home.*
aye
Couldn’t say it better
It does have that sort of ethereal feel doesnt it?
IMHO from upper parts of eternal tower.
The hand gestures reminded me of that scene in infinity war when Doctor Strange travelled through time.
Buongiorno
Lol
STFU, please.

@@hanniballecter7103 no u
what a legendary piece of music for a legendary movie
Hauntingly beautiful!!! Makes me want to drink a beer for some reason.
It's almost like..... the theremin allows you to see the shape of music. How the music LITERALLY feels. Like she is plucking the notes out of the air and giving them life. I love this instrument so much now.
Wow, you made my imagination fly.
That's very cringie.
@@chickenflavor9880 ok sonic fan
@@formerlygavin ok anime fan
@@chickenflavor9880 yes
This is what i imagine when people say we will have flying cars in the future , this instrument feels straight out of a sci- fi movie, even tho it’s an old invention.
sawma we will play instruments without touching in the future
Because it is :D sci fi movies sometimes use(d) them for effects
4,000 dislikes? What the hell is wrong with people? This is amazing
🦠
this is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard in my entire life
This girl has magic in her hands and fantasy in her voice
The beautiful idea of this cover is that she is doing the vocals from the original song with the theremin and the instrumental with the voice
This is just an astonishing performance. The Theremin is a unique and rare instrument. I recall in my "Art Of Electronic Music book" featured is an artist named Claire Rockmore who is a Theremin virtuoso.
The kind of music the world needs right now

Virtually every video on youtube gets downvotes. Some people just downvote for no reason.
The thumbs down motion is a way to play an A note on a theremin. Maybe they were saying they liked it using hidden code that theremin players only understand.
As soon as the theramin kicked in my cat looked at me like wtf where are you on UA-cam right now.
That's it.. Your cats from another dimension
I approve this comment.. my cat appear out of nowhere when she started playing the theramin..

@@charlottebligh649 spoopy
I never thought Morricone could sound so beautiful on the theremin, this song is so peaceful too, thank you
I have no words to express my feelings...
I only recently started seriously listening to theramin music... outside of creepy horrorcore stuff (which the theramin really is amazing at), and it has been really striking me how the theramin really is listening to a computer sing, plain and simple. It puts me in mind of what it would be like to hear an android opera.
If it isn't clear, I mean that positively. It does have an eerie surreal quality to it, but that is largely down to how used to hearing human voices we are. It reminds me of really well done Hatsune Miku songs, where the rigid tonal shifts actually give the music a different quality than you typically get with human singers.
It puts me in a writing sci-fi mood.
And yet it's completely analog!
It's not a computer at all.
If you think this is an android opera, you should listen to the Portal 2 Turret Opera
Where can this opera be found, please?
I’ve bought a Theremin and it’s also an incredibly experience to approach to it. Despite the difficulties to reach the right pitch for each note it’s like a mindfulness exercise, you need to control and take awareness about your entire body (even a bad breath control creates micro-movement on your arm and hand, and you can hear it from the theremin), you need to stay in the flow to control it. Absolutely recommended ❤❤❤
Holy shit. I don’t know what I’ve been missing for all of these years. This was jaw-droppingly brilliant and those 32nd notes were out of this world. I’m so impressed. I’ll be following your work, Carolina!
Whether you realize it or not you have been following her work it's amazing how many TV shows and movies she's featured in....
Where are the 32nd notes?
@@maxwhitworth9178 those are probably the sounds made by her moving the hand very quickly
I don’t think they’re quite as fast as a 32nd note lol
@@maxwhitworth9178 but those notes are quite swift. doesn't seem much slower than this ua-cam.com/video/HsZKXq8kDT0/v-deo.html

Has hecho correr mis lágrimas de emoción.

This is simply mesmerising. The chromaticisms work so well! I could listen for hours.
Does anyone want to buy an old theremin ? I haven't touched mine in years.
Many people are probably interested. What model?
Where do you live?
I just realized it's a joke
r/whoosh
You stole this joke.
Finally, some music deaf people can understand!
beautiful song and beautiful performance
i feel like this kind music is sounds for fictional fantasy movie, like elf, fairy, and other creature, placed on a magical forest surrounded by sparkling golden morning sun and smooth wind, maybe like the hobbit or scene on snow white and the huntsman
Annisa Syifa the theremin definitely has that kind of forestry, fairy, magical vibe to it

Beautiful! My name is Jay, I am 60 years old, and I bought my first theremin about three months ago. It is a Moog Etherwave Plus, and on the recommendation from your videos, I also installed the ESPE 01 module . I also bought your book, The Art of Playing the Theremin, which I highly recommend to anyone who wants to learn to play this wonderful instrument. I have watched all of your videos, and I find them not only instructional but inspirational . Thank you for posting them.
Thank you for writing, Jay! Glad to know I inspire people to study this instrument. All the best in your theremin studies!
Amazing amount of discipline to accomplish this. Glad that I watched!
Спасибо!
Theremins always sounded too sci-fi to me, so I could never see them in a classical or orchestral piece. You make yours sound like a string instrument and that's incredible.
By comparison, theremins have only existed for a fraction of the amount of time that other classical instruments have. It takes a while to innovate the technique.
Coda Mission one of the most flexible instruments
It helps as well that there are no orchestral instruments to offset the timbre.
A violin played with winds sounds natural and pleasing but that same violin with a Piano is rathering disgusting and grating ;p
Witchcraft I say! Well done, too.
Coda Mission lol, It was literally designed to create sci fi music, that's it's purpose !
I was today years old when I learned about the Theremin
@Berliner Stadtschloss True. But it's acceptable because she is cute.

Thank you! :)

I had no idea a theremin could be made to sound this beautiful. I cannot imagine how much practice is behind that level of skill. Thank you for making this!
I can't stop watching this video year after year. It is simply sublime. ❤
The way this instrument produces a sound akin to human voice is so uncanny, I love it !
I thought this instrument was only just for laughs but when I watched this 😭 melts my heart
I believe it is the finest musical instrument ever devised!
at 1:30 i was spellbound... soo pure
:)
I keep coming back.
Really wish that section from 01:00 to 02:40 lasted for HOURS and HOURS. Having this in the background while doing anything.. simply helps.
you could turn the video into an mp3, edit it so it only plays 1:00-2:40 and then play it on a loop
I am totally addicted to this. Listened to it every day this week.
Thank you! And great job!
Whoa! I just realized that some of the sounds I was unable to attribute in movies to a particular instrument was probably a theremin all along. I never even knew such an instrument even existed until it was mentioned today in Hannibal tv show.
It's absolutely terrific !! Gestures voice and music are perfect, just perfect. How talented you are, you're a poet...and maybe a fairy !
MrGalagomusic hey galago
A fairy... ✨
Fairies wear boots oh you gotta believe me
A Fairy? I can agree with you!
Poets write poems, just fyi
My God she's GREAT !!!!!!
Amazing sound.
I would not have believed that someone could achieve such precise notes like that, in an instant, instantly achieving that note, on a theremin. That was amazing. Truly. I mean, she'd go right to the note. Had I not known this was a theremin, I would have believed it was a human voice.
You'd need some serious control to play like that, wow!
Incredible! I was moved to tears. I wonder what this rendition would sound like in a bigger space, for instance an empty church.
