AETHERPHON, global theremin family

Hello, Group!

In May I recorded an extended, "live" electronic music improvisational jam session along with an acoustic drummer.  I edited down to album length and self-released it on-line as "Boulder Suite: Improvisations for Theremin, Drums & Devices."  There are links to sample tracks on my website: http://www.rickreidtheremin.com.
 
Over the summer I've rapidly improved my ability to play proper melodies on my Moog Etherwave.  I've also added several items to my instrument collection: a Korg Monotron, a Gakken Pro Theremin, an additional Alesis Air Synth, and coming very soon - a Burns B3 Pro Theremin.

I've recently seen two live gigs by Denver indie rock band "The Inactivists," featuring thereminist Victoria Lundy.  I may go to a DeVotchka concert this weekend.

In October, I will once again be playing live sound effects cues with my electronic instruments for a Denver-area community theater production of "The Rocky Horror Show."  I also plan to use my theremins to create recorded sound cues for a community theater production of "Bang, Bang Your Dead."

Meanwhile, I continue to write and produce nearly half of the episodes of the "Starz Studios" movie news show for the Starz television networks and work on my part-time career as a professional voice actor. 

That's my story for now.
