hmm ...

how does landing on the volume antenna effect the pitch output? did
you do some special 'hot wiring'?

also, i think it would be interesting to incorporate this into some
music. it would be more music about sound [john cage] than music about
melody [saint saens]; but still might be interesting to listen to [at
modest volume].

have several players come and play, with time between them, leaving
the theremin on at all times [or course, adjusted for zero beat]. i
wonder if the mosquitoes would affect the players differently in
addition to changing the music by landing on the antennas.

i wonder how many of the players would resort to chemical warfare [bug
spray] to keep the bugs off of them!
