AETHERPHON, global theremin family

I have a crippled right wrist which is in constant pain. Most of my play is from 
the elbow. if you see how I hold my right wrist, it is because It hurts like 
bloody hell to twist it. My right hand is vertical and my left horizontal. 

You can play pole antenna theremins using the angling technique with a side ways 
sweep and using a tripod to rest the elbow will help steady the arm and hand for 
more accurate play. If you are using "aerial fingering", you are out of luck. I 
think that technique  is a good way  to cause wrist and hand problems. 

Keep in mind that sometimes an antenna is just an antenna.

Rupert

Nice to see some activity here. I'm really not into the whole "my 
antenna is bigger than yours" crap. Although ThereminWorld is usually 
not so bad.

I've been unable to play for several weeks due to tendonitis 
(actually, it's "tenosynovitus", an inflammation of the tendon 
sheaths) in my right hand. It's painful to bend my wrist, which makes 
playing the theremin problematic. I find out next week about getting 
surgery. I'm going to be *so* out of practice!

But I am featured on a new recording by the band Pandemonaeon, from 
their new album "Dangerous Beauty". The track, "The Tower" is here:

I was performing live with the goth-industrial group Protea (I've 
missed the last few gigs due to my hand condition). The MySpace page 
is here:

I play a Burns B3 Deluxe, with overdrive, phaser, delay and 
"dimension c" chorus (all analog pedals) and drive it through an ART 
V2 tube pre-amp. Analog rules!
