  • To debut the new Etherwave Theremin, Austin-based electronica group The Octopus Project performs their original track “I Saw the Bright Shinies” in a performance filmed in the Moog Sound Lab.
    In this performance, Etherwave Theremin takes the stage as both a lead instrument and a CV controller for the Moog Matriarch paraphonic semi-modular analog synth (as a creative way to play its filter). To complement the two distinct theremin applications you see and hear, multi-instrumentalists Yvonne Lambert, Spencer Stephenson, Toto Miranda, and Josh Lambert reimagine the 2007 song using vintage and modern Moog synthesizers: Moog One, Prodigy, Matriarch, Grandmother, Mother-32, DFAM, Subharmonicon.

    Some of the most masterful playing of a theremin I have ever seen. Such clean transitions from note to note. Not a single note is out of place or out of tune. Very very good.

    I've watched this four times over the last week and cried every single time LOL. It's like I can feel the sounds inside my chest when I listen to it. My boyfriend said it sounds like what happens to a person after they die. It reminds me of the way I felt when I got my childhood dog. I ordered the theremini this weekend:)

    Several years ago I caught wind of a Theremin concert that was coming to town. The town just happened to be where I i live,.
    Los Angeles. And the concert was really actually more of an orchestra. An orchestra of 135 Theremins,. with 135 thereminists (I made that term up, what else would they called?) Playing all those Theremins -- All together, on the same stage, with a conductor dude waving his conductor's wand,. Keeping everything + everyone on point.
    So yeah,. The date was killer. She was blown away, that concert hall is amazing. The architecture is --- well, very Curvy. The interior where the stage is unreal.
    So when I saw the notice for this in some "cool stuff to do in LA" article. I thought. Oh man,. This would be a perfect date kinda thing to do... In hindsight it was a cool experience, but not something I'd do again as a first or 2nd date. First & 2nd dates need to be something that shows the person you've invited out that you are way cooler + way more clever than they ever expected. You don't do that going to see a movie, or going to Katsuya... You do that by doing some stuff she (or he) never experienced before. And my thought was "this chick probably doesn't even know what a theremin is.." So taking her to a 135 piece theremin orchestra @ the Disney Concert Hall downtown. That'd probably be something she'd be telling her girlfriends about for at least a week or two afterwards 😉.
    That first date was back in 2009... Our son just turned 11 in March. 😀
