	SOVIET FAUST: LEV TERMEN, PIONEER OF ELECTRONIC ART (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Theremin, descendant of the Albigo, was a man of strong moral principles and a socialist in essence, honoring Lenin and his cause throughout his life.
		From the theremin's detection and amplification of the lofty harmony of spheres came the revelation of the instrument's essential meaning in the form of a surveillance device.
		Theremin himself was of a different opinion, being a whole-hearted servant of Fedorov's "Common Cause", the aim of which was to unify humanity.

		Theremin was a young Russian physicist who was demonstrating a new musical instrument that he invented (...the aetherphon, aka thereminvox, later known as the theremin).
		Theremin asked her to perform on the platform, "because none of the dancers who tried it could carry a tune." Ms.
		Theremin's experiments laid much of the groundwork for subsequent developments which led to many of the electronic musical instruments which are in use today.

	Gyrofrog: The Theremin
		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).
		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.

		Theremin intended his invention to be a classical instrument, not a novelty, and Martin's account of Theremin's life begins in his period of success.
		Theremin was a very good-looking man in his youth, and his steely gaze fell on his pupil Clara Rockmore, who is still alive to tell of her days as the fresh-faced star musician in Theremin's tutelage.
		When Theremin returns to visit her some 70 years later, Rockmore is very correct and polite as she shows her apartment to the strange old man in his dotage.

	Theremin Vox - The Art of Noise (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		And so was born the concept of sound as a thing in itself, distinct and independent of life, and the result was music, a fantastic world superimposed on the real one, an inviolatable and sacred world.
		The Greeks themselves, with their musical theories calculated mathematically by Pythagoras and according to which only a few consonant intervals could be used, limited the field of music considerably, rendering harmony, of which they were unaware, impossible.
		The desire, search, and taste for a simultaneous union of different sounds, that is for the chord (complex sound), were gradually made manifest, passing from the consonant perfect chord with a few passing dissonances, to the complicated and persistent dissonances that characterize contemporary music.

		While the sound that can be produced by the Theremin may at times sound like singing or like a violin, the fact that you don't touch it to play it removes the tactile feedback normally found in the playing of a musical instrument.
		The Theremin works on the principle that if you add two radio frequency signals together in a nonlinear amplifier the resulting output will be the sum and the difference of the input frequencies.
		All of the Theremin articles I have read caution the would-be Thereminist to practice for quite a while before attempting the "premier performance" and after hearing Clara Rockmore (The Art of the Theremin, Delos CD) I totally agree.

		The Most well known is of course, the Theremin; though he also went on to develop the Terpistone, the Theremin Cello, and the Rhythmicon.
		Theremin developed what was at the time the leading patent for mechanical colour television, he invented alarm systems for use in banks and prisons, anti - kidnap devices (!), and most notoriously 'Buran' (The Bug), with which the Soviet Authorities bugged the American Embassy for many years.
		Theremin was allowed to visit the United States once more, a few years before his death in 1993, during which time he lectured as a guest of Stanford University, and demonstrated his theremin to an enthralled audience.

	Art's Theremin Page
		The theremin, named for inventor Leon Theremin, is a musical instrument that uses electronic circuits to produce audible tones, having the unusual aspect of being controlled by the player's hand motions near the instrument's two "antennas," without the hands touching the instrument.
		One hand is used to control the theremin's pitch, and the other hand is used to control the volume.

		The approximate operating frequencies for the 145 theremin are 270kHz for the volume circuit and 360kHz for the pitch circuit.
		I do not recommend this theremin project for the novice, since it exhibits many sensitivities that are greatly affected by the physical placement of components, as well as requirements for test equipment not normally obtainable by the casual experimenter.
		Frequently, users inquire if the plate antennas used for these theremins may be substituted with the traditional form of theremin antennas; the monopole for pitch and loop for volume.

		WEIRD VIBRATIONS - What with the rave documentary "Theremin: An Electronic Odyssey" having played across the country, and more and more rock bands using the theremin, the first electronic instrument, people are waking up to the sounds that made "Good Vibrations" vibrate.
		The theremin, which sounds vaguely like an excited female soprano, is one of the earlier electronic instruments in which the player uses the motion of her hands to play distinct notes.
		The theremin produces a throbbing vibrato that will at first amaze you, then delight you, and finally overwhelm you - if it doesn't send you running from the room.

		I would like to remind you that theremin was demonstrated to V.I.Lenin in 1922 and pragmatic leader of proletariat proposed using the device as Kremlin alarm system.
		However, Theremin, imbued with the socialistic ideology, was calmly emphatic in his refusal to consider any of these offers and stuck to his original plan of giving the first presentation free of charge in the presence of press, of noted musiciancs, scientists, radio engineers, and the like...
		He produced its bass version, accompanied then with several fingerboard and keyboard ones.And, finally, he invented "terpsitone" with control antenna being made in form of huge metal sheet hidden into the floor.Music was produced this time by dancing movements of the whole body, not only by hands).

		The theremin could be viewed as the great ancestor of electronic music: Virtually every electronic instrument traces its roots to the theremin’s inventor, Russian physicist Leon Theremin (1896-1993), who produced his first instrument in 1918.
		Furthermore, the theremin was the first electronic instrument with virtuoso performers playing solo and concert repertoire written specifically for it by major composers.
