| | Theremin is used more and more, and in the last disc, it has become the main solo instrument. | | | Between 1930 and 1970, the theremin was used in many musical genres, but it's use decreased through the years. | | | As popular music has integrated so many instruments that are mainly used in classical music, the theremin has found a home in popmusic as well. |

| | The theremin is one of the very first electronic musical instruments, and yet it is one of the most novel and original. | | | The distinct theremin sound is unmistakable and has been used for years as background music in various movies. | | | I am, admittedly, a really poor thereminist, and in 2 out of the 3 songs I used it on, the theremin is used mostly as a sound effect. |

| | The theremin enjoyed a minor revival, and appeared on the soundtrack to a number of movies and psychedelic records including a variant on the theremin called the 'electro-theremin' by Paul Tanner which features on the Beach Boys hit 'Good Vibrations', although this instrument was more like an electronic slide guitar. | | | You can see a list of the thousands of bands who have used theremins for their recordings at Theremin World. | | | Leon Theremin was obsessed with the beautiful and talented Clara, but she turned down his proposals of marriage on several occasions and married Rockmore, an American lawyer. |

| | Furthermore, the theremin was the first electronic instrument with virtuoso performers playing solo and concert repertoire written specifically for it by major composers. | | | Theremin developed a complex timbre for his instrument quite similar to the sound of a bowed violin string. | | | Furthermore, the theremin responds differently according to the acoustics, the size, the temperature, and even the humidity of the room in which it is played. |

| | The instrument actually producing the theremin-like sound in that song was named an "electro-theremin," a moniker which undoubtedly contributed to the confusion. | | | Various pop/rock music groups have used the theremin from time to time, but contrary to a popular misconception, a theremin was NOT used by the Beach Boys in their hit song Good Vibrations. | | | Early thereminists used the theremin for the performance of both classical and popular music. |

| | Well, maybe you haven’t heard the Theremin story, but it’s almost inconceivable you’ve never heard the ethereal tones produced by one of the first purely electronic musical instruments, seminal ancestor to the synthesizers and MIDI technology you’ll find in today’s music studios. | | | The theremin came into its own in the ’50s, providing the audio signature for various invaders from outer space, which is all the more ironic given the Cold War backdrop to the age. | | | Subsequently, theremins enjoyed some niche success on the musical front in the ’60s and ’70s. |

| | (Retuning a theremin does not bring about the same response from the audience, or other members of the band, as retuning a violin, especially in the middle of a piece where being able to "hear" the instrument clearly and loudly enough to tune is absolutely mandatory. | | | Look out for Doctor Hoffman in albums Music Out of the Moon, Perfume set to Music, Music for Peace of Mind and theremin piece This Room is My Castle of Quiet which I had the pleasure of listening to at Art's. | | | In fact her personal theremin was specifically developed with her aerial fingering in mind; rather then moving her hands to and from the antenna, she would change the shape of her hand to change the pitch. |

| | Switched on radio.co.uk: Celebrating 125 years of electricity and electronic music |
| | The electro-theremin is not actually a theremin as it isn't played in space, but uses an oscillator with a guiding keyboard base to allow for better pitch accuracy - a sort of cross between an Ondes Martenot and a Hawaiian slide guitar. | | | The giant theremin, the Terpsitone, which the musician had to 'dance' the melody in a huge playing field was an even more challenging and bizarre incarnation which no longers exists. | | | The sound is closer to that of the Ondes than the theremin as it is less rich, using only a sine wave and no vibrato, sounding more 'other worldly' than the vocalistic theremin sound. |

But that's not a theremin in the Beach Boys' "Good Vibrations"; it's the electro-theremin—based on the same principles but laid out like a keyboard. |
