Theremin performer Anton Kershenko and his young pupil at Eupatoria Deep Space Communication Center. The First Theremin Concert for Extraterrestrials was the world's first musical METI broadcast dispatched from the Evpatoria deep-space communications complex in Crimea, [80] and was sent seven years before NASA's Across the Universe message ...
The three radio theremin was originally invented by Tomoya Yamamoto. [1] The theremin is constructed by tuning three separate radios to create a system that acts similar to a stand-alone theremin. [2] The circuitry in each individual radio is used to functionally modulate the sound out of the third, producing similar tonal qualities as a theremin.
The Thing was designed by Soviet Russian inventor Leon Theremin, [7] best known for his invention of the theremin, an electronic musical instrument. In Russian, the device is called Эндовибра́тор (endovibrator).
Lev Sergeyevich Termen [a] (27 August [O.S. 15 August] 1896 – 3 November 1993), better known as Leon Theremin was a Russian inventor, most famous for his invention of the theremin, one of the first electronic musical instruments and the first to be mass-produced.
The Electro-Theremin is an electronic musical instrument developed by trombonist Paul Tanner and amateur inventor Bob Whitsell in the late 1950s to produce a sound to mimic that of the theremin. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The instrument features a tone and portamento similar to that of the theremin, but with a different control mechanism.
Examples of electromechanical sound producing devices include the telharmonium, Hammond organ, electric piano, and the electric guitar. Purely electronic sound production can be achieved using devices such as the theremin, sound synthesizer, and computer. [2] Genre, however, is not always dependent on instrumentation.
The technique of using a light beam to remotely record sound probably originated with Léon Theremin in the Soviet Union at or before 1947, when he developed and used the Buran eavesdropping system. [1] This worked by using a low power infrared beam (not a laser) from a distance to detect the sound vibrations in the glass windows.
The Theremin Center for Electroacoustic Music was created in Moscow, Russia in 1992 by the group of musicians and computer scientists, under the leadership of Andrey Smirnov. [1] It was named for Leon Theremin - Russian inventor of the Theremin, one of the first widely used electronic musical instruments. The Theremin Center aims to achieve a ...
