I keep coming back to this video, there is something so beautiful about the sound of the theremin paired with the old recording. The way it handles going from lows to highs. So emotional.
If you ask me this is a magical and enchanting instrument. This is something you could give to blind people and once they feel where the proximity is of both antennas they definitely could use this to make music or a therapy!!
@@StrangeScaryNewEnglandyou might think its easier and in some ways you may be right, however blind people touch things daily, like say there cleaning they have to touch what it is either with their hand or they have to feel it through the cleaning instruments similar to how they use their canes in how they can feel say the differences in the road or sidewalk. where it may actually be harder in playing the instrument is the very factits not touched. however as long as they can find where its located by sound then they could figure out the hand motions and such and it would be simple enough. blind people can work though through touch and without touch in some cases, as long as the blind person would have the ability of hearing that there close to the thing they could do it, if it didn't make a sound that would be problematic.
He had an extraordinary life - from touring the US, selling mannequin displays that came to life when people passed, and infrared security devices - to the gulag, where he spent many years, conducting the orchestra and working out a wheelbarrow "railway". Eventually released, he met his cousin in the street who looked aghast and said "We thought you were dead!" But he went back to his old job, despite being dead. Read the biography!!!
Every so often I keep havin random thoughts like "hey what if you added this or this to the theremin, you could-" and then I remember right, synthesizers exist. but still wouldn't it be weird to make 'player piano rolls' for the theremin.. just conductive rods connected to motors playing out preprogrammed movements..
@@paavobergmann4920 Yeah it's almost all trial and error from what I understand, to find precisely the right note based on hand position, and the precision and steadiness required to maintain it
It's like playing an invisible violin, and every time you pick it up, the length of the neck has changed. hahaha. you tune a theremin by literally changing the scale length. it really is very difficult.
Pov: your exploring an abandon insane asylum and check one of the guests room and from the main office a cassette starts playing out of nowhere (this song/tape) and then your flashlights batteries start dying and then you start to panic but all of a sudden the music stops and everything is quiet. then you hear shuffles of a bunch of feet coming toward you but you can tell which direction it’s coming from and then you start seeing glowing eyes and then you wake up chained to one of the beds hearing the music again and hearing a little girl laugh and you hear a bunch of people running around. netflix should hire me
