The theremin is one of the most fascinating musical instruments of our times. It was invented in 1919 by the Russian Lew Sergejewitsch Termen (later known as Leon Theremin), a trained physicist and ambitious cello player. For many inventors, Lew Termen's creation was a starting point for experiments with the unlimited possibilities of electronic sound generation. His theremin, also known in popular language as the etherwave violin, nevertheless represents even today something unique among musical instruments: it is played without touching it. Electric fields radiated by the instrument are influenced through movements of both arms and hands. In this way, the pitch and volume of the instrument can be controlled. Through every gesture, through the smallest movements of the body, the musician has the possibility of creating melodies and of shaping music in the air with his or her hands. The young Leon Theremin himself was able to enchant a large concert-going audience both in Europe and the USA with these magical sounds. But despite such enthusiasm, the number of theremin virtuosi has always remained small. This is not least because of the fact that the instrument demands of the performer an extraordinarily sensitive control of the body.

Eyck & Tarnow - "10,000 Bells" / Improvisations for Theremin & Piano

via Moog Music

"German-born musician/composer Carolina Eyck is one of the world's foremost theremin virtuosi. She literally wrote the book on playing the instrument. For her American recording debut, Improvisations for Theremin and Piano, Carolina and her collaborators at Butterscotch Records conceived a project that would capture the musical intuition between Eyck and pianist Christopher Tarnow in a wholly improvisational, candid and unedited recording.

Today, Moog Music is proud to premiere the first video from Improvisations, 10,000 Bells, which showcases a moment or pure creation from Carolina Eyck's Moog Etherwave Pro and Christopher Tarnow's piano"

Happy Halloween everyone! Rarely do I lean into the ‘haunted-sounds’ reputation that the theremin is known for, but something about this year’s spooky season made me want to indulge in that way with an original composition. 🎃

This is a live performance of the piece "Der Prophet" from my recently finished debut album "Weltmaschine", coming out on 21.06.2021.

2. Maria durch ein Dornwald ging - Synth Jam
3. Klangteppich [music] - Prophet 5 and Strymon Mobius

Prophet 5 running through Strymon Mobius. First with a Bitcrusher, controlled by the Moog MP-201 pedal. Later with the Formant filter doing the robotalk.

4. Klangteppich - Marc Melià: Arpeggios #1 (Music for Prophet 08 - played on Prophet 5)

As I stumbled across this great composition by Marc Melià, I decided transcribe it and to do a vintage version with the ancestors of the machines used in the original: Prophet 5 and Roland Space Echo.

Recorded at Weltklang Tonstudio Plauen

5. Theremin and Synths with Carolina Eyck

I was a guest recently at Theremin virtuoso Carolina Eycks Theremin session. Along with a cover of Kate Bushs Babooshka we did some free improvisations.

Sorbian Storytelling: Theremin Tale #4

Published on Dec 21, 2016 Carolina Eyck

"Some people don't know, but besides being German, I'm also half Sorb. The Sorbs are a Slavic minority in East Germany, to which belongs a part of my family.

Today I'm proud to share with you a bit of my own roots, telling a Sorbian tale. It was first written down by Michał Hórnik in 1858 and it's rather funny. Hope you like it too!"

SUPERBOOTH18 Details & Schedule

"SUPERBOOTH18 at FEZ Berlin - 03-05 May 2018 - Trade Fair for Electronic Musical Instruments. The latest developments in (modular) synthesizers, keyboards, effects, studio equipment and software.

Almost 250 exhibitors from all over the world, 22 concerts and Gesprächskonzerte daily, panel discussion, workshops and much more.

It starts at 11:30 am with the spacious boat shuttle starting at Jannowitzbrücke and a trip through the eastern part of the German capital. Arrived at the FEZ Berlin the visitors can enjoy daily at 1 pm the first concert of the still young day program on the Seaside stage, or they can attend one of the beginner workshops on modular synthesizers, one exclusively for women and non -binary persons, and one open to everyone. Gammon, together with a school class, develops a performance for the Modular Synthesizer Ensemble, presented daily at 1:30 pm. Afterwards, at 2 pm, the promotional stage program begins with concerts by Caterina Barbieri on a modern Eurorack modular system and Leon Michener on a prepared grand piano. Altogether there are 11 concerts of this kind daily, on Friday for example with Bernd Kistenmacher on classical synthesizers, as well as Udo Hanten on a 5U modular system. On Saturday, among others, there will be the Gesprächskonzert of Nonlinear Labs with Stephan Schmitt and the C 15 keyboard. Parallel to this, DIY workshops, specialist workshops from the participating educational institutions and the entertainment program of the other exhibitors will take place throughout the day. So it makes sense to come to SUPERBOOTH18 for more than one day, to also watch the concert of Carolina Eyck on the Theremin or Tobi Neumann and Fadi with an ambient performance.

For people who like to sleep a little longer the boat shuttle is available at 2:30 pm or 5:30 pm. Thus one reaches the FEZ Berlin on time for the evening program and for spending some time on the exhibition before the evening program begins at 7 pm. Here #instantboner, T.Raumschmiere & FucketYbUcKetY, Ströme and Tikiman shake hands. With the low -priced ticket for the evening hours you can also see Boys Noiz with 2244, ATEQ, GusGus and many others. Max Loderbauer, who was on the SUPERBOOTH17 stage last year together with Ricardo Villalobos, will play together with Tobias Freund as NSI this year.

Those who like it a bit quieter will be pleased about the film screening of The Potential of Noise, a documentary about the legendary music producer and studio operator Conny Plank. The film is commented and explained by the initiator of the film, the son of the protagonist. On all three evenings there will also be discussions with guests such as Daniel Miller, Uwe Schmidt and Mark Ernestus. Some aspects of The Potential Of Noise will also be addressed here. During Thursday's SOOPERtalk Lady Starlight, Andrew Huang, Lady Blacktronika and Mylar Melodies will discuss the fascinating interaction between humans and machines in the creative context of music making.

The return trips of the boat shuttle at 8:30 pm and 12:00 am take the guests directly to the landing place at the Jannowitzbrücke in Berlin Mitte, from there it is not far to the official after-show location C-Base. The after-show program will be announced at short notice.

More details and additions to the three-day program can be found on the official website. You can also keep up to date by subscribing to the newsletter on superbooth.com.

If you get lemons, make lemon juice: Theremin Tale #1

Published on Dec 17, 2016 Carolina Eyck

"Playing an instrument is like telling a story. No matter how abstract it may sound, one can always imagine a fable taking place, note after note. Today I improvised on the sentence 'If you get lemons, make lemon juice', sent by Natalie.

I encourage you all to write down short tales and favorite sayings here in the comments, and I hope to improvise on as many stories as possible."

UEFA Champions League Anthem - theremin & voice

Carolina Eyck
Published on Aug 13, 2017

"Congratulations and good luck to all teams in the upcoming season of UEFA Champions League!
.
The UEFA Champions League anthem, officially titled simply as "Champions League", was written by Tony Britten, and is an adaptation of one of George Friedrich Händel's works. UEFA commissioned Britten in 1992 to arrange an anthem, and the piece was performed by London's Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and sung by the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields.
