The Naughty In-Law 3: Preludes & Triptych - Melkor Mancin color comic

The theremin, born by accident from a physics experiment by léon theremin, became one of the strangest and most haunting instruments ever created.

How is a theremin played

Instead of a keyboard, or strings, a theremin has antennae that sense the movements of your hands in the space surrounding it It’s quite evident from video recordings that you use both of your hands, in a gentle and controlled swaying motion, across the two antennae. The theremin detects the difference between the fixed and variable frequencies through a process called heterodyning, which produces an audible tone This allows the player to control pitch without ever touching the instrument.

In fact, it works without any human contact whatsoever So how do you play it? Thereminists appear to play their instruments almost like invisible strings, employing techniques such as vibrato on held notes Although skilled players might make it look easy, playing it requires great musical coordination and serious technical ability.

The theremin is probably the world's strangest and spookiest musical instrument ever made

It has no keys, no strings, just two metal rods that you don’t even touch You just move your hands in the air around the device, and an eerie quivering, disembodied voice, like that of an opera singer, emerge from the instrument Arguably the only instrument that is played without being touched, the theremin has acquired an unmistakable aura of mystery because of its eerie sound. While it has been around for about a century, many believe it still has plenty of untapped potential.
