| | Gyrofrog: The Theremin |
 | | The theremin heard on this disc was built by Leon Theremin himself, and produces a tone which eerily resembles a cross between a woman's voice and a violin. | | | Invented by Leon Theremin around 1920, the theremin is the result of experiments with radio and vacuum-tube technology, making it one of the very first electronic musical instruments (its only significant predecessor being Thaddeus Cahill's gargantuan telharmonium, which debuted around the turn of the century). | | | Leon Theremin also invented a special dance platform called the terpsitone which also doubled as a musical instrument, using the principles of the dancer's movements. |

| | According to Theremin, at the time of his dismissal, a conservatory administrator informed him that electricity was for electrocutions, not music. | | | Though there remain pockets of avid theremin enthusiasts, Theremin's grand vision of an instrument as common as the violin was never realized. | | | In a heartfelt interview, Moog aptly summarized Theremin's impact, calling his work the "biggest, fattest, most important musical cornerstone of the whole electronic music movement," and adding, "that's where it all began." |
