Theremin-Fever

The Theremin looks crazy, both in its method and its difficulty. After learning about the instrument in class I decided to do some research on the Theremin, which is apparently still played by enthusiasts, but mostly ignored by the public. The sound of the Theremin is incredible, one of the most unique sounds produced by any instrument I have heard.

The second video was interesting because it was a brief introduction to the actual method of playing the Theremin, which I was interested to see looked easier than I expected, although still difficult, especially without tactile feedback.
