AETHERPHON, global theremin family

Well, it's my turn in the "who are we" parade.

I'm Olivia Mattis, and I was fortunate to have the first interview  
with Leon Theremin when he first emerged from Russia in 1989 at age  
93. My interview was subsequently published in Keyboard magazine, and  
is available in several places on the internet. See, for example:

I also published a "Theremin Master Class" interview with Lydia  
Kavina in Electronic Musician.

And I also Executive Produced, financed and wrote the program notes  
for Lydia's debut CD, Music From the Ether.

Plus I volunteered a year of my time to organize the First  
International Theremin Festival in Portland, Maine in 1997, which was  
the birthplace of the Levnet group as well as the launching site for  
Bob Moog's Ethervox and incidentally the starting point for many  
theremin friendships that have grown and developed since that time.

And I also brought about the reconstruction of Varèse's work  
Ecuatorial in its original instrumentation with the theremin cello.   
See the following link for the full story:

Plus I own an RCA theremin as well as one of Floyd Engels' replica  
diamond shaped speakers.

And I've found happy homes for several other RCAs (I've had as many  
as four).

But... I'm not a performer. Even so, please don't kick me out of this  
group, because I'm happy to be here.

Kind regards,
Olivia
