I took my theremin to a Jazz club jam, only to get hated on by Jazzsnobs and called an "amateur music enthusiast" by the emcee. Perhaps those guys would oblige me by showing me the 20 feature films that have THEIR music on them. Usually, I don't brag about my accomplishments but my tolerance for snobbery has hit bottom. > Otherwise, I'm trying to get my backlog of albums released. It has been a long process. > I played theremin on Futureproof's versions of "Doot Doot" available on the Apple iTunes Music Store. It's not virtuostic by any stretch, but it is fun. There's a bit of lighthearted theremin on my various other soon-to-be released projects as well. Not lighthearted in some comedic way, but certainly not a Bach cello sonata either. > And I continue work on my stop-motion animated video for "The Funhouse Waltz," my work for Theremin, Strings, Organ and Percussion. The trailer is still up on YouTube. If you haven't seen it, it's here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzmWBeMIvNE Dude, you've been holding out on me. :-) I've got, like, one song of yours. Is it mostly because your other performances are work for hire? I know it can be a tangled mess, what with recording rights and song rights and the grabbing hands grab all they can. -- ----- DAVID V -- synthetic music for humans ----- Spellbound, a brief program of music for theremin Sunday 10PM-12AM http://spellbound.purplenote.com FamilyWii -- For Gaming Families and Families of Gamers Visit http://www.familywii.org for reviews and info
