it's a glorious thing is the Moog Theremini, a funky electronic marvel that’s taken over our hearts here in the Maker. This delightful gadget has become Musicmaker's favourite theremin, and it's easy to see why. Let's dive into the captivating history of the theremin, explore the magic of the Moog Theremini, and discover why it's a must-have for any musician or sound enthusiast.
A Brief History of the Theremin
The theremin, one of the oldest electronic instruments, was invented in 1920 by Russian physicist Léon Theremin. Unlike traditional instruments, the theremin is played without physical contact. Musicians control pitch and volume by moving their hands in the electromagnetic fields generated by two metal antennas. This unique method of play gives the theremin its distinctive, otherworldly sound, famously used in sci-fi movies and avant-garde music.
Over the decades, the theremin has fascinated musicians and audiences alike, becoming a symbol of electronic music’s innovative spirit. And now, Moog has taken this classic instrument to new heights with the Theremini.
Introducing the Moog Theremini
With its sleek design and intuitive controls, the Theremini makes it easier than ever to create those iconic, wailing sounds that made the theremin famous.
The Theremini is a reimagination of one of the oldest electronic musical instruments, and Bob Moog’s first love – the Theremin. Its design fuses the experience of playing an instrument you don’t actually touch, with a powerful sound engine derived from Moog’s award winning synthesizer, Animoog. The Theremini guarantees immediate success to anyone at any skill level or physical ability, while also providing new ways to experiment with music, education, and gestural control.
