AETHERPHON, global theremin family

Hola David & Gang,

Yes!  The Channel 4 show was a success!  But judge for yourself...You can
see the evidence on my website:
http://www.hypnotique.net/multimedia/video.htm
Did I come off looking like an idiot or a star?  You decide!!

Overall the experience was good - 8 members of 'mable' - Masami Takeuchi's
17-piece theremin orchestra from Japan - were in the studio audience which
made it quite pressurised.
These things are so carefully planned and slick - I felt like there was some
censorship at play here (in the rehearsal when they said 'where did the
theremin come from?' - I was vettoed from using the word 'communist russia'.
) They also - between the soundcheck and the live show (yes, this was live
TV!) - removed the logo from my theremin by putting black tape on my
Etherwave Pro without my permission.  I didn't notice until I got home and
watched the playback. A branding opportunity lost (along with perfect
lacquer finish on the Pro).   Par for the course, I guess,  this was one of
the biggest family shows on British TV and my weird occult-ish logo probably
wouldn't have gone down well with Mrs Trellis from Shoreham-by-Sea.  Anyway,
I've had positive feedback and people have been getting in touch via My
Space
(http://www.myspace.com/misshypnotique - FYI!)

I'm keen to thereminists thoughts on this.  I do all kinds of underground
things and I think mainstream TV is a nice, subversive contrast (I'm a 'z
list' celebrity!!) - but other people may think I'm selling the instrument
short and demeaning it by doing these things.  Let's start a dialogue about
it!

PS - love what you're doing with Spellbound forum, David, definitely
necessary to have an alternative to Levnet.
