Playing Debussy's famous "Clair de Lune" on the #theremin - which is a very special musical instrument, invented in the 1920s by a Russian scientist (Leon Theremin). You play it without even touching it through electromagnetic fields - generated by two antennas. On the vertical one you control the pitch, and the other one determines the volume.

Arrrgh this terrible rendition doesn't deserve 2M views!! Please have a look to this update >>> czcams.com/video/ZVue-QsxuzA/video.html
your right, it deserves twenty million.
I suppose you'll simply have to take another crack at it, it would be great to see how much farther you have come by comparing the two!
This is beautiful
Grégoire Blanc judgmental or what! He’s a kid, it’s a theramin and you’re not very nice.

I'm here because of a joke I just read. "I'm thinking about selling my theremin. I haven't touched it in years."
So I was about to comment "wait I'll take it if you don't want it" but then stopped then facepalmed and felt completely disappointed in myself...

I don’t get it someone explain
porcelain when playing a theremin you don’t touch it at all it’s all in the movement of your hands
This is what I imagine an opera singer that can’t open their mouth but still has an incredible range and tone would sound like

There's a comment that made me want to write a poem about a mosquito so here it is.
Still be the waters on first summer's day
Awoken and risen to drops of morning dew
From the cool night frost formed on wild hay
As frogs and birds sing their daily tune
She flies high above as we twril in ribbon and dance
This short chance to make my advance
Eyes that shimmer in glamor keep me in trance
Until she is compelled from our romance
Fly away, fly away, from the dying of the light
Fly away, fly away, from the cruelty of blight
Fly away, fly away, into the restful new night
In tears I am propelled towards this new smell
Secret portal hidden in caverns that giants dwell
Landing in fields of hair, I drink a sip Until I am felled
Crumpled and fading I say my final farewell
Be still and gentle on this warm summer's day
Be still and gentle on this good summer's day
Be still and gentle on this last summer's day

I'm suddenly obsessed with the sound of the theramin, but there isn't a big variety of videos with it... anyway that was lovely ♡
So few players have the control to hit the pitches so precisely like this. He’s amazing
It's not the same vibe at all but if you want to hear this instrument embedded in a good rock song, check out the video on CZcams for Walk With Me by Richie Kotzen. There is some in there. He's also a phenomenal guitarist and singer. 👍
The movie “First Man” has a theremin as it’s lead instrument in the original soundtrack; fitting instrument because it resembles a human hum but also has connotations with space-travel, making it the perfect instrument for a movie about Niel Armstrong processing the death of his child while riding a rocket ship. Didn’t like the movie personally, but it’s use of theremin is such a smart move on a meta level, and the soundtrack’s use of it really redeems the instrument by using it unironically to show off its strengths.
Look for a movie called Theremin: an Electronic Odessey
Not a big variety..?
Gregoire Blanc, Armen Ra, Carolina Eyck, Peter Pringle, Decostruttori Postmodernisti, to name just a few immensely talented thereminists. That should keep you occupied for at least a year.
Nice to know that the theremin can actually sound beautiful.

How do you even get into this? Are there classes you can take to become a thereminist? This is literally the first time I've ever seen this instrument.
this instrument was invented in Soviet Union by L. S. Theremin (sorry, idk if I spelled it right, I'm Russian) and in Europe the only school that can teach you this instrument is called «Russian Theremin School», there're two departments of it: one in Moscow, one in St. Petersburg. The headmaster is a grandson of L. S. Theremin - Peter Theremin.

@@avoidant560 Holy shit what a smart reference
This sounds amazingly 1920s Art Deco kind of futuristic, like it was from the soundtrack of Metropolis or World's Fair demo. I think it's because a classical music piece is played on one of those early synthesizers that used simple sinewave oscillators and vibrato.
David Woodside you are right :)
David Woodside yay metropolis! I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone reference that film and I love it
Metropolis by Kraftwerk would be more fitting imo
The 21st century finally arrived thanks to this guy
1:39 gives me chills
Zanderfist absolutely right!
It’s perfection
I heard it from some where years ago but nobody I tell remembers it
Zanderfist omg yes!! :0
I'm not trying to be contrarian, but it didn't impress me that much.
