AETHERPHON, global theremin family

Kevin - you will not be disappointed by the Takeuchi CD I can assure you.
I had the great fortune to do two shows with him last year in London
(complete with the 17 piece Mable orchestra of Matryiomin players - baby
theremins in the shape of Russian dolls!) - it was an awesome experience.

  I was also gifted to have a short impromptu lesson in his hotel room (in
front of the girls from the Mable orchestra - no pressure then!).  He plays
a Moog Series 91, which is, I think, a difficult instrument to play but he
has such intuition, grace and skill!  I think for classical music, he is the
best there is - anywhere.  the classical music in the show sent a shiver
down my spine. It's a real shame because of trading and language barriers
it's not so easy to access his music.  He told me in Japan he has 3000
students (or has had) and the Matryiomin is more popular an instrument to
play than the ordinary theremin - particularly for young girls.  The
Japanese are studious and dedicated to their art - no mucking around!  The
theremin is taken very seriously there. I really hope to have the
opportunity to go to Japan soon to play with them again.

PS - He is interested in selling the Matryiomin in other territories...the
only problem is, it is very expensive for what people will be willing to pay
in West - he cited $250 US as dealer price...perhaps he will come down if he
has old stock to shift, or to enter the market.  Any music equipment
retailers interested in taking on discussion?  I can make an introduction.
