Wii Theremin - Santa Claus is Coming to Town | This music is an instrumental of the Christmas Carol “You Better Watch Out’. The tempo is medium with the lead harmony on the theremin and piano accompaniment. The music is haunting, ethereal, lilting, mesmerising and captivating. This music is a Theremin Instrument. | 2008-12-17T15:23:34Z | Ken Moore | This is my submission for NPR's National Caroling Party 2008. The instrument is my homemade Wiimote-powered Theremin (simulator). The technology links a Wiimote controller, infrared LED gloves and a Roland JV-1080 synthesizer to create Theremin-like sounds. | ["Music", "Musical instrument", "Theremin"] | ["instrumental", "theremin", "electronic sounds", "female voice like sound", "high notes", "better watch out", "piano accompaniment", "christmas carol", "no contact instrument", "ethereal", "eerie sound", "electronic instrument", "air notes", "electromagnetic instrument", "celestial", "beautiful", "captivating", "enthralling", "mesmerising music"] | 7 | 2-K-7T8ZIWA | 323 | |
THE INNER LIGHT / STAR TREK (TNG) / THEREMIN | The song is led by a theremin whistle which plays high pitched tones and a harp playing arpeggios in the background. The feel of the song is soothing, tranquil, ethereal - and makes you feel as if you are peacefully sitting in an otherworldly environment. | 2010-11-16T05:39:56Z | Peter Pringle | This is the theme from "THE INNER LIGHT", the 25th episode of the fifth season of STAR TREK - THE NEXT GENERATION. In the story, this melody is played by Captain Jean Luc Picard on a "Ressikan" flute (named after the fictitious village of Ressik). In STAR TREK fan surveys, this episode has been consistently voted one of the two most popular ever made. The music was written by Jay Chattaway and has a decidedly Scottish flavor to it. Since the story concerns a civilization that existed on a planet orbiting a star that went supernova a thousand years ago, I thought it would be fun to use a Hubble deep space photo of what is left of a star that exploded a billion years ago. That is the background for the video. The instrument I am playing is the Moog Ethervox theremin. It has a range of nearly 10 octaves (comparable to the greatest cathedral organs). I have tried to adjust the waveform to give the timbre of the instrument's voice a more whistle or flute-like sound. | ["Music", "Musical instrument", "Theremin"] | ["theremin", "harp", "soothing", "atmospheric", "gentle", "tranquil", "ethereal", "heavenly", "high pitched whistle tone"] | 3 | 7XQN9XDnRm4 | 855 | |
Without Touch 2.0 - concert Lydia Kavina (modern) | The low quality recording features a theremin solo melody. It sounds haunting, intense, suspenseful and cold. There are some water flowing sounds in the background. The recording is mono and noisy. | 2009-01-30T22:26:52Z | bytesatwork | !!! sound&image synchronised at http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=51451608 !!!

Theremin Cover of "Edelweiss" | The music features no vocals and the main melody is made with a theremin. The sound is wobbly and quirky. In the background there are subtle strings that contrast the main melody by sustaining chords. This is a song you could hear in a movie about aliens. | 2009-02-09T03:31:03Z | Terry Barbre | This is me covering the tune "Edelweiss" from the musical "The Sound of Music." I'm playing the theremin. I'm "hand-syncing" on the video as any theremin player could tell since I'm too close to the computer and furniture. I sequenced all the background parts on my Mac, and then took the best of about 15 takes with the theremin. Cut me some slack. I've been a thereminist for about 48 hours. Once I get better I'll post more videos. | ["Music", "Musical instrument", "Theremin"] | ["instrumental", "no vocals", "theremin", "wobbly", "subtle strings", "quirky", "dreamy"] | 5 | JP637fg_ZC0 | 2001 | |
Carolina Eyck /Theremin - Elephant in Green (live 2015) | This is a contemporary classic music piece being performed on a theremin. The player gives the theremin and electronic sounding character. The atmosphere is weird and eccentric. This piece could go well in the soundtrack of an absurdist/surrealist art movie. | 2015-05-17T17:11:22Z | Carolina Eyck | This song is available for streaming and download on my new album for Theremin & Voice "Elephant in Green" https://www.carolinaeyck.com/elephant-in-green 🐘💚 ------- Encore after the performance of Kalevi Aho's Theremin Concerto "Eight Seasons" with Staatskapelle Halle and conductor Luke Dollman.

Moog Etherwave Plus CV Controller/Theremin | This instrumental song features a theremin being played. There seems to be another synth playing at the intro. The sound produced is eerie. A ring modulator tone is played through this audio clip. There are no voices in this clip. There are no other instruments in this clip. This song can be played in a video game. | 2009-01-12T08:12:27Z | Moog Music Inc | The newest member of the Moog Etherwave Theremin family is also the newest member of its controller family. The new Etherwave Plus extends the Theremins gestural playing technique to the world of analog synthesis and beyond by allowing the user to control gear with a wave of a hand, controlling synthesizers and effects while playing the Theremin. Its also a stand-alone CV (Control Voltage) controller. The Etherwave Plus CV control signals are proportional to the pitch and volume of the Theremins audio signal and can be connected to the pitch and volume CV inputs of a Little Phatty or other analog synthesizer for a new way to interact with a synth. www.moogmusic.com | ["Music", "Musical instrument", "Theremin", "Synthesizer"] | ["instrumental", "eerie sounds", "theremin music", "no voice"] | 0 | c8uE3Q8p9Jo | 3682 | |
Etherwave Plus Theremin + Little Phatty vs MOOG NINJA | The low quality recording features an arpeggiated theremin melody being played. The recording is noisy, in mono and it sounds weird and gives off some spacey vibes. | 2010-04-22T17:57:43Z | Moog Music Inc | A ninja stole into the Moog Sound Room in the dead of night and hijacked the Etherwave Plus and the Little Phatty-- he was crazy as heck, but he knew how to use control voltages...for more information visit www.moogmusic.com | ["Music", "Musical instrument", "Theremin"] | ["arpeggiated theremin melody", "low quality", "noisy", "mono", "weird", "spacey"] | 4 | hCELSy7hVKE | 4084 | |
"Ghost Ship" - Rupert Chappelle, Theremin | The low quality recording features a short snippet of echoing effect at the beginning, after which there is a theremin swell.

Samuel Hoffman's RCA Theremin | This is a classical music performance. There is a gentle piano tune playing in the background while there is a theremin playing the main melody. The performance has a unique feel to it. The atmosphere is out of the ordinary but also heart-touching. This piece could be used in the soundtrack of an animation movie/TV series. | 2007-07-15T11:34:12Z | Peter Pringle | Dr. Samuel Hoffman took his 1929 RCA theremin with him when he moved from New York City to Los Angeles, California, in 1941. He eventually became world famous as "The Hollywood Thereminist" and the distinctive sound of his instrument can be heard on the soundtracks of over 40 major motion pictures of the 1940's and 50's. Alfred Hitchcock's SPELLBOUND (music by Miklos Rosza), the SciFi classic THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL (music by Bernard Herrmann) and Cecile B. deMille's perennial THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, are just a few of the movies in which this theremin can be heard. I acquired this unique vintage instrument from the Hoffman family in 1998 and have carefully maintained it and enjoyed playing it ever since. It sounds today just the way it sounded when the late Dr. Hoffman played it at the "Casino In The Air" on top of mid-town Manhattan's Hotel Montclair in the 1930's. In order to give the camera a better view of the inside, for the purpose of this video, I removed the two cabinet doors (which normally remain closed). I am playing French chanteuse Edith Piaf's hit from the 1940's, LA VIE EN ROSE. | ["Music", "Musical instrument", "Theremin"] | ["classical music", "no singer", "instrumental", "piano", "theremin", "emotional", "unique", "eccentric", "heart-touching"] | 9 | nIL_xrqjo1g | 4530 | |

Introducing the Moog Polyphonic Theremin | The low quality recording features a widely spread, polyphonic theremin lead melody. The recording itself is very noisy, which can be heard at the very end of the loop, where a female narrator is introduced. | 2011-03-31T17:56:38Z | Moog Music Inc | Introduced in 1928, the Theremin is one of the earliest and most widely known electronic instruments. Played artists that manipulate invisible energy fields around antennas which control the pitch and volume of the sound, Theremin music has distinguished hit records from such diverse artists as The Beach Boys, Led Zeppelin, Clara Rockmore and Linkin Park. Today (April 1st), Moog Music designers carrying on the legacy of visionary founder, Robert Moog have announced the first major technical Theremin design advance in over 40 years. The PolyTheremin™ incorporates bleeding edge IsoDirectional Inductive Oscillator Technology, to isolate space around five individual pitch antennas thus enabling each to be played simultaneously (finger-by-finger) without interference from its companion antennas. This revolutionary concept breaks the long held belief that the Theremin could only be monophonic instrument. The PolyTheremin ships with Dorit Chrysler's instructional video "Playing the PolyTheremin is Even Easier Than Playing a Monophonic Theremin."

Elvis on Theremin | The low quality recording features a live performance that consists of a theremin solo melody played over arpeggiated piano melody. It sounds sad, emotional and passionate, even though the recording is noisy and in mono. | 2007-08-22T03:47:23Z | MisterScott99 | Scott Marshall performs the Elvis standard on Theremin to his own piano back track from a sequencer. | ["Music", "Musical instrument", "Piano", "Theremin"] | ["low quality", "live performance", "arpeggiated piano melody", "noisy", "mono", "theremin solo melody", "sad", "emotional", "passionate"] | 4 | vZUup6rK728 | 5192 | |
Vulcan Harp & Theremin | Someone is playing a Theremin on a very high pitch going up in pitch and with a lot of vibrato. This song may be playing at home while enjoying your instrument. | 2011-01-19T00:59:37Z | Peter Pringle | This is called THE KATRIC ARK and it is one of a series of 12 compositions for Vulcan harp and theremin. Since the Vulcan harp was introduced by artist and visionary Wah Ming Chang more than 40 years ago, it has evolved considerably, along with the technology involved with its manufacture. It is acoustic, electroacoustic and electronic (it is the electronic component that permits such things as the playing of complex harmonies, glide pitch shifts, etc.). As a sculptor, Chang molded the instrument to fit the human body, and it is great to hold because it is so wonderfully ergonomic. This particular harp has 26 strings (copper, brass and silver) and is played with finger picks. There are no steel strings and the instrument does not use magnetic pickups like electric guitars. It also does not need to be plugged into anything so there are no annoying cables to get in the way. It transmits directly to its amplifier and speakers by means of an antenna integrated into the pin column (the extended curved vertical arm that holds the tuning pins). The two speakers you see in the video are JBL JRX-125 monitors. As a concept, the characteristics of "Vulcan music" are determined by the remarkable capabilities of the Vulcan harp which include many of the possibilities of the classical instruments of India. The sound of the Vulcan harp has been described as a combination of harp, lute, violin and sitar. If you add to this everything that is possible with the use of the shift disc and the harmonic valves (the seven button controls - one for each note of the diatonic scale - riding above the brass plate) you have an extraordinary number of combinations that can be explored. The harmonic valves are all level-sensitive (each responds to three degrees of left hand finger pressure applied to them: touch, half, and full) and this determines the harmony applied to the vibrating strings. Octave displacement is played by multiple valve configurations depending on the register in which the harpist wants to play.
