For those of you interested in unusual treatments of the theremin, you should go over and visit Michael Evans's page.

One has it processed so that it sounds to me almost like a trumpet, and another where he uses it with such rock-solid drones without vibrato that I'm impressed anyone could hold their hand that steady. http://www.michaelevanssounds.com/index.html ----- DAVID VESEL -- synthetic music for humans http://davidv.purplenote.com porphyrous@... ----- The Purple Note Radio Network: Escape From Noise, vocal electronica, 10PM Sats http://efn.purplenote.com Spellbound, music for theremin, 11PM Suns http://spellbound.purplenote.com ----- Victoria Lundy wrote: >>"\\js" <js0000@...> said: > > >>it's not what's termed 'precision playing', but it sounds precisely >>like i want it to. > > > That's one of the best phrases I've ever heard in reference to the > instrument. > > That's one of the things that to me sets the theremin apart.
