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.

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

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!
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
Smiling Friends brought me here
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!
*they way it is played looks so magical, like you're a witch making music out of thin air.*

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..
Thank God it has found itself in this woman's very capable hands!!!! Awesome!!!!

@Random Runner The guy had a romantic relationship with a fucking pigeon. Does that sound like genius to you? It sounds crazy to me. I'm pretty sure you have to be an "imbecile" to think that isn't crazy.
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
This is quite possibly, the dumbest take I’ve seen in a CZcams comment in years.
She’s a fantastic theremin player, but the instrument is nearly 100 years old.
There’s literally nothing futuristic about the video.
The song ‘Ecstasy of Gold’ is nearly 60 years old.
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
Ennio Morricone has died today, and this is the first thing I went and listened to this morning. Truly beautiful.

@@carolinaeyckvideos Yup
Its amazing-

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!

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.

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.
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!
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.
I've never heard anyone play it so in-tune! Awesome.
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?
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.
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.
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 hand gestures reminded me of that scene in infinity war when Doctor Strange travelled through time.

It does have that sort of ethereal feel doesnt it?
IMHO from upper parts of eternal tower.
this has 'voice calling you from inside the forest' vibes
what a legendary piece of music for a legendary movie
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
GUESS WHO’S BUYING A THEREMIN
Guess who can't play it
Guess who’s trying
Guess who can’t afford it.
Joey Mandara SAME
Yours, Truly they’re cheaper than most instruments lol
The kind of music the world needs right now
This is absolutely incredible. I got chills listening to it.
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.

Я не могу описать словами насколько сильные эмоции вызывает во мне эта композиция. Спасибо!
I never thought Morricone could sound so beautiful on the theremin, this song is so peaceful too, thank you
Just goes to show, if you put the the Theremin in the right hands, you get pure art.
*Near the right hands lol

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
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.
This is not music. This is magic! Inlove
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
1:35 That is why I love the theremin it is because of that note, I love that sound.

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 ❤❤❤
I simply don’t understand the thumbs down. This is so beautiful.
To each is own, yeah... But i don't get it either.
I'm guessing jealously or on accident
"Love is the Initial Genetic Expression" ~ Ras Merkabah.

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.
4,000 dislikes? What the hell is wrong with people? This is amazing
🦠
I'm 66 and had never heard of a Theremin until last night when YT suggested a video from 4 years ago where Rob Scallon interviewed Carolina. Amazing talent, young lady! Beautiful voice, too.
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. :-)
@@taunteratwill1787 then you'd still be burnt to the stake. 😅🤣🤣

You'd need some serious control to play like that, wow!
I can't stop watching this video year after year. It is simply sublime. ❤
The theremin is a beautiful instrument, whoever says otherwise is insane
1:21 to the end gives me goosebumps and tears!
Edit: My grandmother recently passed away, and this song makes me cry!
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!

Best theremin performance ever! This was epic

I have no words to express my feelings...
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!
This is simply mesmerising. The chromaticisms work so well! I could listen for hours.
I listened to this once a while back and it just came back into my mind yesterday. Thank you for this Song!
Absolutely incredible … never saw it to be played that accurately - everything is in perfect pitch no matter which interval or how fast she played .. just perfect !!
this was the only theremin piece i have ever heard that actually sounded good. The notes were crisp articulate and enjoyable. Great job on the vocals! Your voice is amazing!
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
The piece of music is originally from a western film from the 60s lol
Olivia Petersen very true. Lol

So a friend gave me her Theremin yesterday, and if you havent had one, you wouldnt imagine how hard it is to switch between percise hand locations IN THE DAMN AIR.

A fairy... ✨
Fairies wear boots oh you gotta believe me
A Fairy? I can agree with you!
Poets write poems, just fyi
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 !
Hauntingly beautiful!!! Makes me want to drink a beer for some reason.
Magnifique ! Merci !
