In the spirit of the day, I invite you to play a virtual theremin.
Rob Wright's internet experiment: CLARA, is a playable internet instrument based upon the theremin. Use the mouse to test the instrument - control the on-screen hands, (left hand controls volume, right hand controls pitch). The hand movement can be recorded and replayed. The instrument has a 3 octave range.
This is one of many fun and interesting links found in the Playground at my website.
If you want to see a real theremin played by a real theremin virtuoso, Pamelia Kurstin, check out this YouTube video:
I serendipitously found this brilliant video when searching for another.
It might be of particular interest to those involved with The Alexander Technique, but the quotes are very interesting when considered from a variety of contexts.
